New Bittorrent Encryption Proposal

Post by johnnyg »

article: http://torrentfreak.com/bittorrent-devs ... on-080215/

or the proposal if you can't be bothered rtfa: http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0008.html

just wondering how this proposal compares to the current encryption implemented in deluge? (which got no mention)

and if the proposal is better, will deluge also implement it?

I was wondering if and when the Deluge team will implement the new Bittorrent encryption?

I hear people on Comcast have Deluge running on full speed, can anyone else on Comcast vouch for these claims. If the current setup works even on Comcast ... I say don't fix it if it ain't broken.

We will once it is available in libtorrent. The good news is, is that the author of libtorrent is also one of the authors of that proposal, so it will definitely be implemented.

we do better than most clients, to be sure. however, this new encryption will be implemented into deluge as well. we'll only get better, i promise :)

good to hear :D

it's funny how deluge is one of the leading clients in encryption yet gets no mention in the article...well I guess that's the whole minority issue but hopefully that will change in time ;)
