Agressiveness of deluge a myth?
Posted: Sat Aug 27, 2016 12:06 pm
Ive read countless times on forums/reddit etc that deluge has very agressive peering/seeding/uploading whatever, and that it consistently gives better ratios on private trackers.
I'm personally suspecting this is BS, but would love to get an opinion of this from the devs or others in the know.
I read about rtorrent in an article about patching the code to be more agressive, where they stated the time rtorrent by default uses to re-announce to the tracker for getting more peers, where 30min, and could be e.g. patched to 10min(another place I read deluge does this every 5 mins, which in part was where its agressiveness lies, but isn't this libtorrent specific and not deluge-related persay?). Also with rtorrent, it was suggested to change the default time of 6 mins for checking "non-data-giving" peers for new data to obtain from them, to instead e.g. 3mins. I was wondering what deluge defaults to on the above also.
Many times I hear this and that are faster than this and that torrent-app, but imho i'm guessing it's mostly because of not being connected to the exact same swarm/seeds/peers in each client, or, different settings(default or user-specific) defined in each client. more than any specific agressiveness of said client used, but don't know for sure though. Also if deluge isn't more agressive, then is libtorrent then more than some other libs/apps in your opinion..
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
