downloaded block reporting

[monsicek@gmail.com]

Hi,

I'm noticed problem about reporting downloaded blocks to other peers in swarm. I use deluge for transfers bigger files between friends and it never ever show up currect progress of download to other side (tryed deluge, azureus, utorrent), it says just 0% or if you restart download, it stucked at percent when the connection was established.

Summary: I can't see % and downloaded blocks by peer connected to me by deluge.

PS: didn't try lates (0.5.8.5 version) yet

I hope it will be fixed soon.

There is a setting in libtorrent, session_settings::send_redundant_have. This setting controls if libtorrent should send have messages to peers that already have the piece. The default value is false, which will save some amount of bandwidth, and it will make other peers not see all the progress you do on your download.

Hi, again

thanks for useful info, but it won't help me since I run deluge on windows and have no idea how can I compile bins myself. So if somebody can do that, I whould be grateful.

The comment was primarily directed towards deluge developers, so that they can expose this setting in the deluge settings.

This is an optimization in libtorrent to prevent un-needed network traffic. We will not be enabling by default.
