Transmission

Thanks for that article. It was very interesting, and I somehow missed it when doing my initial research on this issue.

Does the µTP only slow down transfers when they interfere with other uploading/downloading applications ON THE SAME COMPUTER, or does it also respond to Internet demands from apps ON OTHER COMPUTERS IN THE SAME WIFI NETWORK?
Neither. I believe it's not used for LPD peers. µTP measures latency ...

Oh. Thanks for that explanation.

It measures network congestion between peers.

Thanks for your reply, but despite a Ph.D. in Geographic Information Science, I’m not sure how it answers my question.

Exactly how does the Micro Transport Protocol (µTP) work? The Help only says that it's "designed to reduce latency and network congestion. Transfers are automatically slowed down when they are interfering with other applications. This feature is compatible with all other µTP-compatible clients ...
