![]() ![]() So, would that not mean that the theoretical max percentage of altruistic clients is something around 33%-50% (aka the altruistic clients do 100% of all uploading), and in practice the swarm would likely break down and stop functioning well before this limit (as all non-altruistic clients will be uploading as well). But for every torrent swarm the upload/download ration must be 1:1, so the non-altruistic clients have to compensate to bring the ratio to 1:1. Jonathon wisnoskiThe entire point is that you are forcing your client to upload twice as much as it downloads. BramcohenIf you join a swarm in Altruistic Mode in which everyone else has already finished downloading you will do hardly any uploading or downloading.A peer in Altruistic Mode will initially download a little bit slower than a regular peer even in a swarm with lots of upload opportunity but the difference is small and disappears completely after a few round trips.There can be more altruistic peers than 50% and everything still runs fine because they’ll stop completing downloads, which will also limit their amount of upload. ![]()
