Single source performance is good if the source uploads with the desired download speed for a single leech. This is not always true.

- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoWell... Sure? Unless I've missed a trick, I don't think it's physically possible to make a protocol that's not bottlenecked on the cumulative upload speed, which in the single-uploader case is the upload speed of that uploader. I would argue that the question is purely a matter of if bittorrent can or cannot saturate a given uplink if there is a single uploader, and I thought the answer is either yes or that it can get really close.
- extraduder_ire 2y agoIt's also a little extra chatty if the seeder turns on super-seeding mode. (refuse to send more pieces to a peer until that peer sends it to another) Bittorrent can be almost (hashing) as fast as http if you add a web seed though, something many people don't know about.
