philosphical - Features you wish torrents had

Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 9:51 pm

Personally I wish you could embed banned IPs into the actual torrent file (torrents you make yourself) so if someone sh*ts you off you can make it so that person NEVER is able to leech it of any peer ever...

there are at least 3 putz's who would fit into that category for me...

what other wish lists do you have for torrent technology?

Most people have a dynamic IP address so would not really work ..
You can block some ips from leeching from you using peerblock but you will get the same problem if they have a dynamic IP..

That will block them until the ip changes .

yeah I forgot about dynamics... bugger... Smile

it has been a while since dial-up eh?...

but most BB should run on statics now days... and I do run peer block but they can still leech the torrent from the other peers even if they cant connect to you direct. - which is annoying if you don't want them to get it... ah veih - I spose im just rotten apples Smile

Kinda think it works quite oki as it is now, the main problem however is descriptions, people should learn to make a clear description of what they upload...

It would also be nice if the description / additional information was included in the .torrent file in a way that was readable by the client. Instead of having to google hashes all the time.

or even if it automatically background googled the hash and spidered for more seeds and trackers

DHT is good but I can usually find at least 1/2 dozen more live trackers through google

A built in IQ detector to prevent retards who don't know how to read summary pages from using them..

And a built in realization attributer that you are getting free shit and a built grateful attributer to work along side that.

that would be up to the tracker sites to enforce i would think - but i am in total agreement.

I like the idea of a built in IQ detector....
Every 24 hrs your torrents stop and make you answer three randomly generated graphic puzzles (difficulty level to be chosen by torrent creator)... Would stop a lot of tards that one...

as for a gratefullization meter - the torrent simply (hmmm theres that word again) links back to the site you DLd it from, finds its own comments section and if your not on the THANKS list - kablammy...

An autofake detector would be cool - Utorrent spiders for the hash and if it finds a 'fake' comment anywhere it flags you and sounds a little alarm bell and automatically halts the DL until you investigate.

We need a feature that uninstalls the client if user doesnt forward his ports for over 48 hours; app could give 2 hour warnings, then at the 48 hour point uninstall itself and the tcp/ip stack. Thats my ideal client Laughing

Program could also delete the system32 folder on next boot if user installs simpleportforwarding.

You mean Port Forwarding or Seeding?

cuz I dont portforward... pointless really unless you need to do it to fool ISP

You just demonstrated you dont hve any idea what forwarding a port does. If your behind a router, using ipv4 and not forwarding your port, then i wish your torrent client would uninstall itself. Port forwarding doesnt do anything to "fool" your isp lol

When ppl leech 90% fall into one of the following categories -

They dont like what they downloaded and delete it
They dont know what seeding is
They simply turn of there torrent client and watch what have just got
They turn their pc off go to bed
Their upload speed sux
Their usage is capped

Meaning, 90% of leeches do not mean any harm, all you would achieve is to block someone who might one day learn.

err... OK I have been misinformed then... I was under the impression the forwarding of ports was to allow you to use UDP without the ISP realizing it was torrent activity (or maybe to hide your real IP from agencies and such)... it certainly doesn't make my connection any faster as I tried it and didn't notice any improvement... I have read (well I thought I had) forums on the topic - cant find them right now as when I search the forums I'm getting all of them listed... bummer...

can you loosely define the benefits of port forwarding again for me please?

cheers

The reason you need to forward a port is because when your behind a router you have 1 outside IP for multiple PCs, your router needs to know which pc to send the packet to; so we specify a port in our client and tell the router to sent packets relieved on tha port to the desired pc. If your behind a router and find you dont need to port forward, your most likely using upnp. This peoblem will dissapear with ipv6 as each devise will be able to have its own external address - actually, recommended ipv6 implementation will assign each user twice as many address' as the entire ipv4 scope
