Sure it does. In my experience it happens rarely though, depending on the trackers/communities you participate in of course. In at least a year I haven't have had a single bad torrent. And that's my point already. Don't blame the algorithm for seeders dropping out early and other peers misbehavior. Blame the people. And if everybody wanted to escape these issues, all would just download sequentially and void the major advantages of bt. Kind of astonishing that this has to be repeated over and over again. With P2P, there is no free lunch. That's actually the whole point of it. _______________________________________________ Libtorrent-devel mailing list [email protected] http://rakshasa.no/mailman/listinfo/libtorrent-devel
