Re: Best practice for filesharing?

[Christian Grothoff]

Hi Jacki,

It's actually likely a combination of other peer's bandwidth settings
and CADET (and Transport) being still very, very bad in terms of
performance. t3sserakt is hoping to improve performance "soon" (however,
right now, there seems to even be a state machine issue where CADET can
completely lock up, so that has priority).

So to summarize: it's not you, or how you configured things, it's really
things in the lower layers we know we need to fix.

Happy hacking!

Christian
