DHT Nodes #574

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
This is related to a software called qBittorrent, which is using this 
libtorrent C++ library.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start qBittorent and observe the DHT Nodes number at the bottom.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I used another torrent client called uTorrent and the DHT nodes where something 
like 400-500. In qBittorrent I see 140-160.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Currently tested on:
Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit
qBittorrent v.3.1.5 using 
libtorrent 0.16.13.0 and
boost 1.55.0

Please provide any additional information below.

I just would kindly like to ask you this. Does the DHT number of nodes affect 
my download and upload speeds? Do you know, why in uTorrent I got bigger number 
of DHT nodes? And finally, is this configurable in libttorrent? Can perhaps a 
better utilization of libtorrent produce comparable results that I got with 
uTorrent, like 400-500 DHT nodes?

THANKS!

the number of DHT nodes does not affect your upload/download speed (if 
anything, more nodes will cause more DHT traffic and slow down your torrent 
transfers).
The number of nodes is primarily determined by the size of the routing table. 
recent versions of uTorrent use a larger routing table, so does newer versions 
of libtorrent (but probably none declared stable yet).
