Hello (again?), I tried to post the message below as a reply to an old post, but it seems to have vanished (also a new user to Yahoo Groups, maybe I'm doing...
... and ... Hi all - new Gnutella developer here! Well, an old-new one, I wrote a Gnutella client back in about 2000, and now we're trying to bring it back to...
... Thanks for your suggestions there! I would like to test it with other clients, but LimeWire doesn't seem to have as much control as I'd like. For a start...
... I can't comment on Phex, but gtk-gnutella will apply a "pass through" function that is filtering queries randomly when the table is getting full. For...
For GTK-Gnutella on OSX, just have a look at Darwinports: http://gtk-gnutella.darwinports.com/ As far as I know how darwinports works, it should draw in...
Hi, The LimeWire guys speak of 5 Million simultaneous users, so I think we should increase the outdegree. At the moment a search from one ultrapeer travels...
A couple things here. Our goal a long time ago was to add nonblocking IO so that we could increase the outdegree by another order of magnitude and decrease the...
Hi Greg, My replies are inline... ... Af far as I understand it this doesn't apply to small scale increase of outdegree without TTL reduction, or does it? ... ...
... I'm not sure what "this" your referring to. Any increase in outdegree increases the ability of an ultrapeer to effectively apply selective querying....
... Sorry, that I was unclear. "This" refers to old connections. <snip> ... The time a query needs shouldn't be too much of an issue (at least to a user), I...
Greetings , One small query: I want to extract bitprint from Query Hit packet but parsing several packet , I never come across any query hit packet with...
Do we use bitprints at all? As far as I know they consist of a sha1 and an md5 sum or so. Best wishes, Arne ... -- Unpolitisch sein Heißt politisch sein Ohne...
No "MD5" sum, this is a "Tiger" digest instead (not to be confused with the "Tiger tree root" which is another related but distinct value, computed differently...
Thanks for the correction! Best wishes, Arne ... -- Unpolitisch sein Heißt politisch sein Ohne es zu merken. - Arne Babenhauserheide ( http://draketo.de ) --...
After reverification, I have seen that bitprints use TigerTree root, not just Tiger; this makes it more useful for the intended purpose with secure swarmed...
... Bitprints occupy more space in packets, and SHA1 has been good enough for now. That's why all the servents I know use SHA1 in query hits, but offer a...
The bad thing is that the X-Thex-URI header can't be discovered until you have started downloading some fragment from a source, this means that you can't...
Your knowledge of LimeWire's download verification appears to be a little outdated, Philippe. LimeWire currently does everything you are describing, including ...
... Sam, what is LimeWire doing when a file download completes? It displays : "verifying file" which takes some time. Doesn't this mean that the downloads are...
Hi Philippe, When a download completes, LimeWire is doing an additional verification of the entire file against the SHA1 hash. During the progress of a...
... Even though I haven't been asked directly, I'd like to add the way Phex does segment selection. It allows the user to select four different strategies: *...
... For the case of surrogates, I had discussed this issue years ago, and had described the problem in this list after discussing with a past Japanese ...
... No, they aren't. What's the use of sending two hashes that identify a resource? Of course one could argue something along the lines: "what if SHA1 becomes...
Hi.. Phex drops QRP messages in case, the host is not reporting to support QRP in the handshake or if the message appears to be invalid e.g. when the messages...
... When the entry bits are not 4 or 8, this should not happen. The recipient just need to adjust the entry bits value with a LOWER one. * If the entry is...
... I believe you completely misunderstood. Gregor was not talking about the QRP value, but about the number of bits that the patch claims to use to encode the...
According to the QRP, which is one of the few proposals which is documented quite well, the ENTRY_BITS field MUST be 4 or 8. There is no client known to me...
