Someone asked earlier "How can you find out the status of a download, without killing the downloader and starting it up again?" Well, here is a pretty simple...
A feature -- two, actually -- is needed for the tracker to enhance BitTorrent's ability to handle clients with dynamic IPs that may change during the session....

... Well, I always use the --ip Parameter and specified my DynDNS Addess, this always worked, unless the tracker ignored the parameter....
... There's no real reason to do that, ya know... the tracker knows well and fine your IP public address since you connected to the tracker via http with that...
Hi, I see from the protocol description that the client checks in occasionally with the tracker. I was wondering if anyone had considered using this...
NAT'd clients *do* make outbound connections to other clients, so they are already pushing. The tracker doesn't currently keep track of which blocks each...
... DC, BitTorrent basically already does this. It will send the NAT'd client a list of other clients which it may connect to....

Does BitTorrent have any (unimplemented) ability to share data between torrents? For example, the Gentoo 1.4 Pentium3 LiveCD contains the following files...
I'm working on partial downloads (which I think is what you need) in my client. With that you would be able to build a single torrent with all of the files...

Ok, I have a version of LibBT in CVS that supports specific file downloads from a multi-file torrent. This is just an initial implementation, but if anyone is...
... Ah, thanks. I guess a follow up would be: has anyone done analysis to see what percentage of BT users are behind firewalls and which are not? My own...
... Well, (1) BitTorrent is meant more for the use of the ordinary person, and not the computer-savvy teen who's trading MP3s with other pirates. Some people...

Ok I wrote a quick and dirty perl script that scans my tracker log and compiles stats on the versions of clients being used. This is from a single torrent...
This information is provided in the tracker log. The client provides this information during the reannounce cycle. Below is a sample of the tracker log: ...

Where do you get the client ID from? The protocol document doesn't give any ID field, nor does the 'BitTorrent/track.py' module seem to support any fields...
... It's the HTTP User-Agent field. That's why most of them just show up as "Python-urllib", but apparently John added a custom one to the Shad0w client, and...
... The feature was added to the official CVS some time ago; I adopted it. BTW, there are other identifying markers in the peer ID. Several clients have this,...
