Hi all,
I''ve been spending a lot of time over the past few weeks on
RubyTorrent.
All the changes are in CVS. Highlights are:
- Transfer speeds should be much better, thanks to a better piece
selection algorithm, and being more aggressive about dropping boring
peers and adding new ones,
- Download/upload rate limits now work.
- Many bugs fixed.
- .torrent creation now supported (make-metainfo.rb)
Note that rtpeer by default has a download limit of 20kb/s and an upload
limit of 10kb/s. If you''re actually using it to transfer .torrents, you
might want to change those. (I should probably give it some command-line
arguments.)
Like I said to Eko, I''m planning on releasing an 0.3 in the next few
days. If you''d like to help out by bug-testing the code in CVS, here
are the instructions from the RubyForge page:
Anonymous CVS Access
This project''s CVS repository can be checked out through anonymous
(pserver) CVS with the following instruction set. The module you wish
to check out must be specified as the modulename. When prompted for a
password for anonymous, simply press the Enter key.
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@rubyforge.org:/var/cvs/rubytorrent login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@rubyforge.org:/var/cvs/rubytorrent co modulename
Updates from within the module''s directory do not need the -d
parameter.
Let me know how it goes.
