What is scalable about a client?
- CSDude 8y agoIt can scale to your all 4 cores and burn your battery.. kidding aside most bittorent clients handle hundreds/thosuands of connections and sparse files as the splits and number of running clients increase, so scalability is a concern here
- StreamBright 8y agoI think it is not the definition of scalability. It just means it is resource efficient. Scalability usually means that a service can handle the load beyond a single node capacity, at least for me.
- anacrolix 8y agoYou're associating the word scalable with the typical web-scale definition. Don't do this. The OP didn't specify what kind of scaling, and a torrent client has a lot of scalability (vertical?) in the way it manages connections and DHT.
