Some stuff as wikipedia sees needs to be done.

[shirish]

Hi all,
Some things which need to be clarified according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison ... t_software :-

• Windows & Mac Port = Need contributors I guess
• Support Ipv6 = Is this on the planning stage?
• Super Seeding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super-seeding = Interesting to say the least.
• Tracker ? = Not sure what the guys mean by that
• Built-in disk-cache [Reduces disk usage, file fragmentation (in case it is not preallocated) and latencies due to larger written blocks and cached data for hash checking finished pieces] = don't we support this , the whole compact allocation or this is different?
• Web-seeding http://www.bittornado.com/docs/webseed-spec.txt = Interesting specification. Might be cool for downloading lots of open source distributions perhaps. I also read about apt going the torrent way so there is lots of synergy there.

[/list]

That's about it for now

[*] Windows & Mac Port = Need contributors I guess

yeah...this probably wont happen until 0.6 or later, in large part because distutils on win32 is beyond stupid. 0.6 wont use distutils which will make things easier for porting.

[*]Support Ipv6 = Is this on the planning stage?

we already have it. libtorrent and in turn deluge have native ipv6 support

[*]Super Seeding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super-seeding = Interesting to say the least.

yeah, it's interesting. i dont know much about it.

[*]Tracker ? = Not sure what the guys mean by that

i think they meant having a built-in tracker so you could host your own torrents completely without an external site or tracker.

[*]Built-in disk-cache [Reduces disk usage, file fragmentation (in case it is not preallocated) and latencies due to larger written blocks and cached data for hash checking finished pieces] = don't we support this , the whole compact allocation or this is different?

i think they're just stating it in a retarded way. our full allocation does the trick here.

[*]Web-seeding http://www.bittornado.com/docs/webseed-spec.txt = Interesting specification. Might be cool for downloading lots of open source distributions perhaps. I also read about apt going the torrent way so there is lots of synergy there.

libtorrent has support for this, but i havent yet looked into getting it in deluge. i'll update that wikipedia page with this new stuff
