if I add more trackers to a torrent will I have more peers?
RN
orignal_, probably not... there's only so many I2P torrent peers usually.... so I doubt that would do much
RN
the open trackers (zzot) probably all have the same data, and postman's tracker2 probably sees everything the open trackers do
RN
on the outernet, yeah, you can often get a boost that way
RN
especially if there are private trackers in your mix
T3s|4
Good stuff RN - I was thinking along the same lines :D
dr|z3d
RN pokes her head outside the rabbithole...
dr|z3d
you been gone for days, RN :)
T3s|4
o/ dr|z3d - did I somehow miss interim builds between 9 Mar (-3+) and 16 Mar (-5+)?
dr|z3d
hi T3s|4
dr|z3d
2.8.0-3 -> 2.8.5-0
T3s|4
fwiw, RN's been around, of late - maybe not just here ;p
T3s|4
thanks dr|z3d
dr|z3d
just getting ahead of the imminent upstream point release
T3s|4
np, and noted :)
dr|z3d
sure she's been here, just not paying much attention to irc.. new toy :)
dr|z3d
she knows what I'm talking about.
T3s|4
never looked askance at any kid figuring out how a beloved new toy really works ;p
dr|z3d
no aspersions, I'm partly to blame :)
orignal
thanks
orignal
then another question
orignal
if I switch to skank will it reduce load to postman?
zzz
announces are specified per-torrent in the .torrent files. snark automatically adds one or more opentrackers
zzz
you can specify trackers when you create a torrent; if you downloaded a torrent, you can add/remove trackers on the torrent edit page
zzz
PEX and DHT get you more peers anyway
zzz
so there's numerous ways to find peers for any torrent, it's all happening at once
cumlord
unless you’re announcing tens of thousands of torrents at once it won’t make much of a difference
zzz
in any case the load on postman is completely under postman's control, via INTERVAL, it's not our issue to worry about
dr|z3d
postman's interval is 45m or more iirc.
cumlord
think his interval is an hour, I don’t doubt his tracker can handle way more than it is now
dr|z3d
skank is whatever zzzot's minimal is, 15m?
cumlord
It’s the indexer than gets pounded
dr|z3d
postman has capacity coming out his ears, don't worry about that :)
zzz
long-term we'll move to UDP announces, and he can put those on a different destination if he likes
zzz
but yeah, tl;dr don't worry about postman ))
dr|z3d
speaking of postman, when we've completed a torrent download, do we override the minimal interval in snark to declare that we've finished the download, zzz?
dr|z3d
if we don't, iirc postman's expectation is that we should.
zzz
yes we do
dr|z3d
ok, good, good.
mareki2p
What do you think about the constexpr sorted array of string views original? Do you thinkit is a good idea or does it seem like overengineered solution to minor problem? Or are you not sure what am I talking about, what advantages it brings?
orignal
zzz, so I want to share 1Tb of torrents, would it worth to change trakcer from postman ro cake?
orignal
for less load to postman
orignal
fuck, Irc2P became unsable
orignal
*unusable
orignal
also decentralization
orignal
mareki2p I think you are wasting your time
mareki2p
OK
orignal
not too much you can achieve this way
orignal
however cleaner code is always better
orignal
say use string_view instead string and array instead vector when possible
dr|z3d
orignal: no.
dr|z3d
postman's tracker can handle the load.
dr|z3d
however, if you don't upload the torrents to postman's tracker, he won't see them.
dr|z3d
(and neither will anyone else unless you have an alternative way to advertise them)
dr|z3d
also, cake no tracker.
snex
apparently there is a way to scrape DHT for torrent info but i dont know how to do it
snex
at least, i dont know how to do it on i2p
snex
bitmagnet does it over clearnet and i have feature requested i2p support from them but havent heard back
orignal
it can handle the load
orignal
but it becomes signle point of failure
orignal
not cake, skank. that's a tracker
dr|z3d
no, it's not a single point of failure. did you actually read what zzz told you earlier?
dr|z3d
<zzz> announces are specified per-torrent in the .torrent files. snark automatically adds one or more opentrackers
dr|z3d
<zzz> you can specify trackers when you create a torrent; if you downloaded a torrent, you can add/remove trackers on the torrent edit page
dr|z3d
<zzz> PEX and DHT get you more peers anyway
dr|z3d
<zzz> so there's numerous ways to find peers for any torrent, it's all happening at once
snex
imo it would be cool to have an i2p bitmagnet as a plugin or something so that people dont need to use any centralized trackers, but even still theres no way to search metadata via DHT
dr|z3d
in brief, orignal, once you're seeding a torrent, peers have a number of ways of finding it. postman is currently the most convenient, but as long as someone has the hash, if it's being shared on the network they'll find it.
orignal
I see only dg2's
