Title: kad contacts and source seeds
Post by: stoatwblr on March 02, 2012, 04:08:00 PM

It'd be useful (for me) to make the  number of saved kad contacts tunable along with the number of sources required to declare a file "rare"

(I have a couple of situations where there may be 40 sources for a file but they're all missing the same chunk - and reacquiring those sources takes up to a day after a restart. I'm having to restart frequently at the moment because I'm testing ZFS)

Hm, shouldn't take that long. Unless these sources connect only part-time and with switching IPs of course. Then the seeds won't help you either.

If you want to play with it just tweak in PartFile.cpp

Code: [Select]

void CPartFile::SaveSourceSeeds()
{
#define MAX_SAVED_SOURCES 10

// Kry - Sources seeds
<snip>

if (GetSourceCount()>20) {
return;
}

Increase the 20 to turn on the seeds feature for files with more sources.
Increase the 10 to save more seeds per file. (must not exceed 255! )

It's quite likely they're only part time.

With most of the KAD world on some form of broadband connection, IPs don't change much anymore.

Thanks for the pointers.

And be warned that source seeds have a 2 hour life-time, i.e. source-seeds older than 2 hours are not used...
