Comments on news posted 2007-03-15 12:28:39: First there was BitTyrant, a self-professed "selfish" BitTorrent client based on Azureus. While the client optimized download speeds for the individual, reports indicated it harmed the overall performance of the swarm. ..

 No honor among thieves

They wrote a song about this:
TOBY KEITH LYRICS

"No Honor Among Thieves"

This world's a jungle there ain't no justice
Laws of nature rule this land
Better hide your horses, bury your whiskey
Hold your woman any way you can

Cause there ain't no right or wrong, nothing's carved in stone
It ain't cheating if you don't get caught
Jokers laugh and losers grieve
Cause out here there's no honor among thieves.....

So much for community good will.
And is anyone surprised?

I love it.

I quit ftp sites and irc channels due to the ridiculous upload/dnload ratios. Most people don't have high speed uploads and I'm not sucking up my entire 384kbps upload and render my web browsing useless. Now the dnloading will be fun

And for each person who thinks like you, the download speeds drop a little more, until...

Who says you need to use your entire 384kbps upload? Set the limit to something lower - the only consequence is that you'll have to seed longer in order to bring up your D/U ratio.

Re: No honor among thieves

They agree with you in this case, yet these exact same lyrics apply in the real world between nations and you can rest assured they are not going to agree with you when we act in our own interest.

It seems that the constitution really is a suicide pact after all.

could see a need....

I could see why people might semi-legitimately want to use something like greedy torrent on private trackers....I download UK tv shows not available on DVD via UKnova and man there are like 400-700 people seeding at the same time as me to only 100 or less leechers....it is a pain in the butt trying to get a leech to connect.....

et tu, leecher?

it's actions like this that suck all the honesty out of piracy. i thought this was all about taking a united front against the escalating prices and inferior products being circulated by the entertainment industry. i mean... i could have expected this sort of behavior from some folks on the internet, but certainly not my file-sharing brethren.

Good thing I use private

Private sites like torrentleech and oink ban users who cheat or have low share ratios

One small problem with BT and Ratios...

I like obscure files sometimes.
Ones that few people wish to download.
So, I download say a 1.2GB file and no one is requesting that file, ever... there went my ratio, huh?

BT is great for popular files... but not all files.
Ya gotta select your sources wisely!

I'm Sorry RIAA, but I didn't upload anything. I have Greedy Torent running that makes people think I have uploaded all the stuff you say I did.

P2P...It's own worst enemy

One of the ways to get rid of something it to add to it rather than trying to subtract. We have seen this before. When the RIAA, or whoever, saturated the Kazaa networks with corrupted mp3s. Madonna added her song with a nice little message. I wouldn't doubt it if the P2P opposition was helping people make and promote these types of clients. With no one sharing, P2P would collapse.

P2P, or greed, is really it's own worst enemy.

This tool....

won't hurt overall performance of the swarm, because it doesn't fool other clients. What it does is get around ratio rules make up by people who don't understand that not everyone can have a ratio of 1:1 or better.
