Feature request[s]

[ADSL (l)user]

I have a feature request or two:

(1) I think that it would be better that when taking into account number of bytes downloaded that ratio should be randomly taken between some values a user would enter. For example:

Each 1MiB you download will be reported as between 0.8MiB and 1.2 MiB upload.

In that way it would be even harder to detect GT

(2) I'm not quite certain, but when using GT in "report ratio of downloaded MiB" mode, is the number of MiB reported to tracker only number of MiB downloaded multipied with factor or same as before but with added number of MiB actually uploaded? If the former is the case, there should be an option so that latter could be performed if user wishes.

(3) And lastly, but not the least important, entering numbers above 5-6 for multipiler should really not be available. And, of course, in order to achieve that, you should close source code as soon as possible.

Anyways, keep up with great work! ADSL (l)users salute you!

Hi ADSL(I)user,

Thanks for the suggestions. You might see them in the next version .. Make sure you set your ratio as a multiple of your actual upload only. Ratios submitted to tracker in such case is exactly same as that of a high speed uploader, because its never an exact multiple of your actual download.

To keep things even safer, use these guidelines:

* Use decimal multiples, such as 3.49 and 4.12
* Make minor variations in your ratio, periodically. But take care not to lower your ratio in a single session.
* Use multiples that gives you slightly less than a 1:1 ratio. For example, if you get 1:1 ratio with 4 times actual upload, use 3.44 or 3.67 x upload so that you reach between 1:0.6 and 1:0.9 (in other words, just keep your ratio as the bare minimum to survive)

Btw, GreedyTorrent is freeware, not open source.

Regards.

thanks

Yes. Its called "proxy chaining" and we might be able to see it in the next version. We're planning to add an advanced tab in the configuration dialog containing some more tweaks to make this feature rich, like enabling the use of banned BitTorrent clients.

These are the strong arguments that forced us to avoid the proxy chaining option in this version.

1. Even if you use a free internet proxy, it cannot be a transparent one, but an anonymous one (one that does not use the 'via' header, and forwards traffic as it were originated from it). If you are using a transparent proxy the tracker can get your real ip from the Via field.

2. Only the tracker communication can be made anonymous by using such a proxy. The peer-wire protocol is still open, and your ip does not stay anonymous.

3. If multiple users start using the same anonymous IP, tracker admin can list and ban the users connecting via it, and ban the anonymous proxy from connecting to it in the future.

4. If used a transparent proxy, tracker admin can always ban users connecting from publicly available proxies.

As for now, GreedyTorrent is impossible to detect if used properly.

Please feel free to debate on this. Perhaps we can come up with a solution to these problems.

Then, about using it in USB. Right now you can copy the executable GTor.exe if you want, to a USB or removable drive and use it from there. However, the settings are stored in windows registry, which is machine dependent. You will need to configure both GreedyTorrent and the BitTorrent client the first time on each machine.
