Problem of Bittorrent client on Linux

[visioneye]

I just came to know about some problems (or, you can say disadvantages) of Bittorrent client on Linux.!! The main thing that I disliked a lot is the upload bandwidth can be saturated if the software used to download on the BitTorrent network is not configured correctly (according to the capacity of the connection to the Internet user) and no quality of service is appropriate applied to the connection: this leads to a significant slowdown of all Internet connections in progress. So I thought to know more about the bittorrent clients that can be used in Linux. Hope that someone will help me soon.!!

To avoid saturation of the bandwidth upward, it is recommended to configure the client so that it uses only 80% of it. Examples :

• 6 Kb / s maximum for a 56K connection (upload bandwidth: 8 KB / s);
• 12 Kb / s maximum for an ISDN connection 128 kb / s symmetric or ADSL xxx/128 (bandwidth 16 kb / s);
• 51 KB / sec maximum for ADSL xxxx/512 (bandwidth 64 kb / s);
• 102 KB / s maximum for ADSL xxxxx/1024 (bandwidth 128 Kb / s).

Hope that you get how to fix your problem.

The mode observed BitTorrent suffers from a major handicap at the beginning of the layoff of a file, many sources are available for download, especially if it is popular or long overdue, but with time it becomes less and less shared, and therefore less available for download, resulting in "death" of the stream. Thus, it is rare that a torrent is active for more than a few months or weeks or even days. To remedy this, customers are now proposing to let the torrent "open" once downloaded. This then becomes a pure source and remedy this shortcoming.

Someone who shares some receive much less from other users. However, there are customers based on the engine not complying fully BitComet protocol, these customers can receive a lot of data while sharing little (by pretending to other peers that they have already sent data). Because of their non-compliance with the Protocol, those customers potentially slowing the BitTorrent network.

A limit to this argument is the available space on hard drives and other storage systems online. In general, it is "good citizen" when you leave the file sharing long enough to be himself as much downloaded (splitting ratio of 1 or more), in the case, it is considered a leech (leecher). In short for the system works well as a minimum requirement to send as much as you downloaded. Ex: If you download a file of 700 MB, it will send (to other users) 700 MB minimum to avoid the torrent "die". This often requires a dedicated software to download files while a file available on a website requires nothing more than the browser to repatriate.

You should also know about the concept of seeding. Seed trying to minimize the amount of data it sends until leecher gets all the torrent files and thus becomes a seeder added. This function should be used where there is only one seeder, or very few, available for a torrent and the seeders that have the capability to upload relatively limited. The operation is only to be reported to possess any part of the archive. When clients connect, the super-seeder has informed them that a new game that nobody has. It transmits the Party and not forward any new part of the archive until it has received confirmation that the document was sent again. In this way, clients send only mode superseeds pieces that have never been sent, and ensure their proper dissemination by and among the leechers.

The techniques used are the download -to-peer different from peer to a file (a technique known multisourcing) and fragmentation of the file into blocks allows. The blocks can come in any order from multiple sources, the file being downloaded considered when all the blocks will be received, regardless of the order of finish in them or their sources - which have in fact no importance . The validity of the data is implicitly guaranteed: If the file is corrupted, it is because it was originally, or has been on the computer downloading (RAM defective, for example, but in no case for transferring data). Corrupt blocks are invariably rejected.
