Implementing uTP

Post by Ideal »

Hi!

I'm implementing uTP support for rasterbar's libtorrent now and just thought that taking into account its quite a non trivial protocol - how about making separate library with this implementation so all bittorrent clients and libraries can benefit ? Will transmission developers be interested in this ?

With best from the Soul, Alex.

After some discussion in LT's mailing list we settled for now to have a solid implementation in LT.. And then we'll see what to do next..

Bummer dude, after reading a little about uTP, it sounds like a good thing to have in Transmission. Hope you still help to implement this.

I'm helping, thats i'd say from what i know up to know depends mostly on transmission itself having(or mostly had and now seems like that is changing) intent to do everything themselves or the like. And this way like supporting "separation" and work duplication while there is a torrent library(or libraries if we speak about now) that can do most of the work for it..

While something like µTP is definitely a good idea, it is not clear that µTP as defined now is workable. I can see quite a few issues with µTP.

It's a pity that the µTorrent people chose to design and implement their protocol in secrecy, without consulting anyone. I hope it is not too late to redesign it.

If you have what to propose - i'm pretty sure they would accept at least to consideration your rational improvements on the bittorrent.org forum for example.

Ah, i see your post there..

Let's hope so. I've got a whole list of those, but for now I only mentioned the most important one.
