- modeless 16y agoIf clients implemented that spec then burnbit wouldn't work because it requires specific server support. Here's a different spec using standard HTTP range requests, which makes a lot more sense: http://www.getright.com/seedtorrent.html http://www.getright.com/seedtorrent.html
- Zev 16y agoI forgot about that one. It is much simpler to implement on the client-side, as well. And Bram and Arvid apparently contributed to its development. The main benefit that I can see to the bittornado spec over getright is that it wants to be able to "Intelligently tell peers how long they should wait before retrying." Which seem like a pretty reasonable things to want to have the server be able to tell the client. Rather then simply block the user.
