i considered creating a new topic....
mods, create it in a new one if they think it would be appropriate.
better bandwidth control is essential IMO, UBT does do 'a' job but some people need a more dynamic option.
Using 'ping' is out of the question (will cause permissions and firewall problems)
I've recently read the development with 'uTorrent' and there introducing something very interesting;
<quote>
uTP, the micro transport protocol. This UDP-based reliable transport is designed to minimize latency, but still maximize bandwidth when the latency is not excessive. We use this for communication between peers instead of TCP, if both sides support it. In addition, we use information from this transport, if active, to control the transfer rate of TCP connections. This means uTorrent, when using uTP, should not kill your net connection - even if you do not set any rate limits. In addition we now implement NAT hole-punching for uTP connections, so connectivity should be improved for peers that do not have their ports mapped.

also, I've read this protocol is being developed for use with the linux kernel
so think of it like the
Wonder Shaper script, but dynamic.
discuss?
