 Posted: Sun Aug 17, 2003 3:32 pm Post subject: Cycling the offered chunks of shared files.... |
 |
|
Hi!
Actually that's two features. First, i'd like never to offer any shared file 100%. and 2nd i'd like to cycle the offered chunks for shared files, say every 6h. is there such a feature? is it on the to-do list?

| This kinda sounds like the emule-plus "kickstart" releaser feature. |

i don't care about the mpaa but here (germany) a new law is about to be released which could get us into serious problems. but still leeching is more legal then offering. so obviously they will will first hunt all those who offer full sources. in that case i see 2 possibilities: either such a feature or it's getting to hot 4 me. don't understand this as a request to program that. i just want to know if such a feature has a chance to be included into the project. the work would be ours.

personally, i don't think that enforcers care to complete the entire download of 2 gigs of the two towers from each and everyone, just to be able to rank out the ones who share the highest percentage. you're not even allowed to redistribute trailers you know... the donkey protocol is really efficient at giving you up, all they need to do is to see what md4:s they can get from you, that's pretty strong evidence.
and, yeah, i think that the mpaa are the guys that already have your ip and are just waiting for that new law of yours... you're probably fucked already, in wich case you need to do something really radical, join the raf or something  otherwise try GNUnet or freenet or something. |

still the laws here are different from usa. and i don't know a single case where a american association (mpaa, riaa etc.) could benefit from a german law. besides that would means a lot work for a really small achievement.
.... still, that wasn't my question |

i started working on something like that..
ist not much tested!
first version :
http://mitglied.lycos.de/esel2ksearch/mld/suxxx-randomchunksv1.patch
todo:
currently the patch hides on EVERY filechunkrequest some chunks from COMPLETE files.. the next version will update the list of hidden chunks only every x hours.
bye suxxx |

Hi,
your patch sounds very interesting. What I would like to see (but unable to code;-))
is a limitation of this mechanism to a certain amount of files, lets say only
for a special directory. A quick hack would be to define an option which
would look like this:
minimum amount of slots for a shared directory which gets random chunks
0 = disable
1 - ... = number of chunks, for example 3
List of shared directories in this example looks like this:
prio0 -> 1 slot - low priority
prio1 -> 2 slots - medium priority
prio2 -> 3 slots -> medium power release with random chunks
prio3 -> 5 slots -> maximum power release with random chunks
Greetings, spiralvoice |

[*] Array.length file.file_chunks = file.file_nchunks (by construction)
[*] The if ... then stop at the end of the statement (that is, just above the (*change by suxx*) comment, not before the next "in". You can try
| Code: |
let hide1 = if chunklistcount > 3 then Random.int (Array.length file.file_chunks) else -1 in
let hide2 = ...
|
[*] Be very careful about doing side effects on file.file_chunks elements. I'm almost sure you're actually losing the chunks you're trying to hide.
Resurrecting the "hide chunks being uploaded" patch to hide 10% of the visible chunks (if Random.int 10 = 0 then visible_chunks.(x) <- false) should work too. |

Hi,
how can I disable that patch if I build a core supporting it?
set sxhidechunkupdate 0 ?
