About DHT network session limits

BitComet BitComet Feature Requests

i am wondering if there is any possibility to add a place where you

can set the “total connections at a time” when connecting to the DHT

network.

since many schools have session limits for students and will secure

your MAC address when you excess the limit(say 1000 sessions or so ), it would be very nice to

have this setting.

I see that in utorrent, you can simply adjust the “dht.rate” and

“bt.connect_speed” to avoid this problem…

but as a bitcomet fan, i’d prefer using bitcomet :slight_smile: it’s really good!!

That’s not what those settings do. With µTorrent you have to be careful and the names aren’t always the best with the internal settings. DHT uses UDP to search for & initiate connections and really can’t be limited.

You should explain what they mean by “sessions.”

I’m pretty sure that it’s either 0 or 1 “total connections at a time”, and you can find this option in Options → Preferences → Advanced → Connections (the first one there) :wink:

“The user in DHT Network is called node, every node knows some of the other nodes. Thus, if a client connect to one of the node in DHT Network, it can connect to more nodes, so it is connected to the DHT Network.” - quote from BitComet’s Wiki.

edit: BTW, just checked my BC:

DHT connected node: 1408

17 running tasks

~40 BitComet’s connections in my firewall (Outpost)

Here you can find how to set the total connections:Options->Preferences->Advanced->Connection->Maximum Connections per task(default “Auto”,but you can choose the number)
