Ok some proposed to accept only encrypted connections (if Xunlei really do not support encryption) but that would also cut off a part of other peers not willing to accept encrypted connections. So only a one by one IP selecting an entering in the ipfilter.dat would lead to a result (for those not changing the IP regularly). with uT not having a way to ban on a per client basis. But even then it's practically a pain in the a.

So what is the way to handle this problem?Ĭould be a solution if not all or the major part of the pieces would be "in the hands" of Xunlei peers. Whatever it is, the fact remains that if all the Xunlei client would only fully leech then this client would not be the most used in the world?!?. So of course the idea crossed my mind that they may (by design?) prefer to share with other Xunlei clients. Some are sharing the way it should be in P2P BT.įinally there is another group of Xunlei clients which wont' give nor take, at least not with uT (or Tixati I also tried alternatively). On the other hand I observed that not ALL the Xunlei / Thunder peers are acting like that. In that case uT is again and again unchoking (randomly / optimistically) and sending MB of pieces to these leeches yet never getting anything worth to mention in exchange. I observed that they unchoke my client but they never send any block of the piece my client requests.

They remain (connected) in the swarm taking everything they can yet never giving a block back or maybe a block (16kb) every 2 hours.

The recurring problem with these Xunlei / Thunder peers is that most of them just leech out and give back almost or simply plain nothing. Though many people on "this side of the wall" may think that only a marginal fraction of the BT users are using this weird (at least not natively available in English.) client in the world, uT having the Lion part, they are fully mistaken according to some statistics published not so long ago on TorrentFreaks. Recently I have been more involved in swarms with a lot of far east peers, most of them using the Xunlei 0.1 client.
