Number of peers returned by the tracker. Is is always 200?

Post by sledgehammer_999 »

I have been observing this for A LONG time but it didn't bother me much. In the tracker tab the peers numbers is always 200 for working trackers. It never goes more than that although the tracker's page shows a lot more peers. Anyway, I tested it a little bit and it seems that this is a libtorrent bug. Can you confirm that you never saw a different number than "200" in qbt?

I filed a libtorrent bug->https://code.google.com/p/libtorrent/is ... ail?id=416

I can confirm this, especially with popular torrents it never goes over 200 even if there is more users available. Torrents with less users show 3 or 5 for example. What I would love to see is the complete seeds and peers per tracker like other clients.

Like this maybe:
                                    Seeds    Peers
DHT                              20        20
PeX                                4          15
LsD                                6          10
udp://tracker.istole.it:80 - 1500    500

Instead of 200 this would be much better in my opinion.

Unfortunately libtorrent doesn't expose this info.

Confirming that 200 is max for each tracker on every version of qbt I've been using.

And the number of dht nodes shown on the status bar is 180s at most.

Thats interesting too indeed, DHT never goes above 175-180. Maybe a higher number nodes is not needed, but I have seen 300+ with others in the past. Not sure if it makes any difference though.

Yes, I can confirm this, too.
