Re: RSS Feed - tracker2.postman.i2p

Postman RSS does not conform to XML specs and may blow up your reader. For Postman content I use the feed from planet.i2p which is much better.

Re: Possible bug with tracker announces

Postman relies on clients to deregister torrents when stopped. When a client crashes/restarts without deregistering all torrents, Postman retains the old client identity for 6 hours or so. So you can drive up counts as high as you wish. Frequently caused by test or development installs.

Possible bug with tracker announces

Shortly after starting seeding a fresh torrent, I often see tracker responses listing multiple seeders, while I am definitely still the only one.

I assume there is some bug in a torrent client, likely Snark, announcing the torrent as complete after just having received the complete metadata.

Re: qBittorrent overall throughput surpasses BiglyBT & I2PSnark

Anybody have a good theory why? First, there is not torrenting throughput. Either upload or download speeds. I repeat: qBittorrent upload speeds are overstated. Simple test: - create a fresh torrent known to nobody else - seed from qBittorrent - download with Snark using infohash Result: Snark show...

Re: IPv6 with firewalled IPv4

Correct. However even with gigabit direct IPv6 your router will only get a small fraction of traffic compared to those with direct IPv4. I2P(d) has a rating mechanism for peers that works this way.

Re: Tixati supports I2P PEX & I2P DHT

Tixati has a whole bunch of problems, read its forum. Torrenting with I2P is horribly slow and it will not connect with the majority of peers, especially when running multi-gig torrents.

Re: qBittorrent overall throughput surpasses BiglyBT & I2PSnark

I do not believe this is true. qBittorrent has a ticket for I2P open with proof, that the amount of data sent over the wire is about three times higher than what the leecher actually writes to disk. In real life BiglyBT is fastest, because it opens up two destinations and it actively contacts leeche...

Re: Packet loss & high latency /w Intel puma 6 cable modem.

Several websites recommend to totally avoid your chipset. Of course it can help to take load off a buggy chipset. Less tunnels mean less traffic and less connections. Especially for TCP connections any router device has a limit for the total number of concurrent connections from your local network t...

Getting i2pd to perform behind DS-Lite - sort of

Running i2pd (and Java I2P) behind DS-Lite gives you NTCP2v6 and SSUv6 with corresponding addresses published. IPv4 remains in status "Testing" forever. You get a few dozen transit tunnels with total traffic below 1kBps average. Your local traffic sticks out by a factor of 100-1000. This i...
