hi, credit handling is still broken and nagging me a lot.
yesterday & today with cvs (cvs20050428, but exact version doesnt matter) i noticed 3 peers which connect and get served again and again.
first: these peers seem to have a broken parts file or whatever, which creates maximum trouble. they seem to try to get the last chunk of the same file. they connect, get served that chunk and after minutes they connect again and are served this chunk over and over again. this way i probably have sent only these 3 more than 500 MB within the last 2 days. i don't know what exactly is wrong on their side, but can tell about whats going wrong on mine:
they connect, wait their respective time until their score is high enough, then they get sent their chunk. it is the last chunk which is shorter than standard, so they dont get sent the maximum 9.28 MB data. they disconnect. Maybe even befor this shorter chunk is finished, i cant tell. For their own fault they find a problem and request this chunk again. Now they get served very fast. they dont enter the queue at the end: Their "Waited" time is not set to their new time stamp but remains at the old time stamp. so they get a high score immediately. This repeats ad infinitum. As another hint it seems that the Data transfered in this session does not accumulate (though the total data transferred does)
see attached screenshots and there those with nick saruman, utena, DarkRider:
Bild 1: after approx. 15 hrs running
Bild 4: after approx. 22 hrs running
Bild 2+3: after 15 hrs, from the "Show details" popup for utena + DarkRider
for now i have put them in the ipfilter.dat, but they show up again whenever they change their ip.
hth, m2kio !
