In contrast, BitTyrant will rank all peers by their receive / sent ratios, preferentially unchoking those peers with high ratios. If you’ve unchoked 5 peers, existing clients will send each peer 10 KBps, independent of the rate each is sending to you. Q: How is BitTyrant different from existing BitTorrent clients?īitTyrant differs from existing clients in its selection of which peers to unchoke and send rates to unchoked peers. In our paper, we consider situations in which peers use clients which attempt to both maximize performance and conserve upload contribution, but BitTyrant, as released, attempts only to maximize performance. The details of this are explained further below. When all peers use the BitTyrant client as released, performance improves for the entire swarm. Specifically, peers which upload more to you get more of your bandwidth. BitTyrant does not change the amount of data uploaded, just which peers receive that data. FAQ Q: Isn't BitTyrant just another leeching client?
