omg polynomial bullshit worked see below
darius
the very new "else" {
darius
coEff=maxPeersField^2-4*maxPeersField-16
darius
effMax=CEIL(maxPeersField-coEff/(bandwidth + maxPeersField))
darius
} // don't ask for a proof :D
orignal
when do you guys are going to start the release?
orignal
*are
dr|z3d
I follow the canon schedule.
darius
i back, if that curve i made doen't make sense pls ask its basically for establishing an effectiveMaximum of i2psnark peers based on the desiredMaxPeers and the bandwidth allotted i'm not a mathematics expert or anything so if you see a way to improve the function go right ahead, but yeah i think i reduced it down as much as it could be.
RN
darius, who are you talking to?
darius
i think zzz handles i2psnark
darius
but yeah, its an open comment, i made a calc spreadsheet if anyone wants to tinker with the desiredMaxPeers and bandwidth and see what the effectiveMaxPeers is.
RN
you'd get his attention better by posting on git
zzz
no, here is fine ))
zzz
this is all madness. we're not reducing the minimum d/l to 3.5 KBps, that's dialup speed, there's no way to make it work well at that rate
zzz
bittorrent is tit for tat and you're not going to keep a d/l slot very long when you're that slow
zzz
there may be some tweaks we can make on the margins but there's no magic fix to not having enough bandwidth
zzz
at 3.5 KBps you're talking a month to d/l a video
darius
4kbps is what i suggest. it works well and matches a lot of peoples background rate, i'm not suggesting people use it all the time but when you just want a steady stream of low bandwidth it seems to work really well.. but it just had a hiccup when trying to connect to too many peers.
darius
hence the function
darius
not everyone is d/ling videos and movies, old games are tiny, books are tiny, artwork and designs, podcasts etc, there's a lot of small good stuff over torrent
zzz
i2psnark.maxConnections in i2psnark.config may help, default 24
zzz
what do you propose to set it to for your dialup rate?
darius
if (desiredMaxPeers<8) {effMaxPeers=desiredMaxPeers}
darius
else {
darius
coEff=desiredMaxPeers^2-4*desiredMaxPeers-16
darius
effMaxPeers=CEILING(desiredMaxPeers-coEff/(bandwidth + desiredMaxPeers))
darius
}
darius
/ spreadsheet spits out (effMaxPeers=8)
zzz
pseudocode doesn't help me; tell me what you're setting your bw and max peers to and give me test results
darius
i have 8 peers right now and its working great. initially there were 15 peers and that baulked. none worked.
zzz
whats your bw setting
darius
20. after another torrent downloaded is when it had the 15 or so peers, I had to stop all the torrents when it baulked and restart and then it worked fine ever since hovering at 7 - 8 peers.
zzz
20 down? up? both?
darius
oh hang on 20 (Total uploader limit) there is no downloader limit??
zzz
I've asked 3 times, what are your bandwidth limits that you have for your 8-peers max test
zzz
the max peers setting is i2psnark.config only, as stated above
darius
I already said a couple days ago I changed it to 4kbps
darius
ah ok
T3s|4
darius: what you have set on 127.0.0.1:7667/config?
darius
300 in, 600 out lately
darius
i just checked my i2psnark.config.d/i2psnark.config and there is only i2psnark.uploaders.total=20 and no downloaders
darius
there is no "i2psnark.downloaders.total" is what i mean
T3s|4
darius: do you actually mean 30,000 / 60,000 KBps In / Out?

Word of the day (dedicated to darius): throstle - A machine for spinning wool, cotton, etc., from the rove, consisting of a set of drawing rollers with bobbins and flyers, and differing from the mule in having the twisting apparatus stationary and the processes continuous; -- so called because it makes a singing noise.

lols :D
dr|z3d
<zzz> i2psnark.maxConnections in i2psnark.config may help, default 24
darius
look all i'll say is its worthwhile having a way to derive an "effective" maximum that is derived from a user defined max and bandwidth. sue me, lol
darius
i must go
