What have I downloaded?

Do you ever wanted to know if you could get harmed by any law for downloading illegally pirated movies apps or music?

In Fact it could be possible that you could get be pleased to charge for someone else!
Most ISP's out there use random IP Adresses (DHCP) out of an IP Pool for they residential customers. So if someone downloaded an pirated movie before you get to this IP Adress you could get harmed through this!
Well i know thats weird but you should have a look at this website:

http://www.youhavedownloaded.com/

YOUHAVEDOWNLOADED . COM shows what was downloaded with your IP (only torrent data is collected) but torrent data is the most popular way to pirate stuff!

So be aware and just think of this tiny fact...

In future i will post about correct anonymisation to get rid of such problems and not getting into harm for someone else who does illegal activity ;)

Have a nice Day folks!

Will Torrenting over UDP kill the Internet?

Torrenting here and there, it's said that P2P traffic uses more than a half of the whole internet Traffic that is done around this world! So the big part of this is handled via die TCP Protocoll based on QOS technologies which claim to hold Torrenting and other Transfers around 1024+ Port Numbers "low" or keep em "bulk" so on if an higher Priorized service will step in, it's bandwith amound will be drained und used for the higher Priorized service, eg TCP P 80,8080,81 (<=1024).

Nice system, it works for so long and nobody ever is really influenced by that large amount of Traffic all over the world.

TCP has become such a star because it ensures reliable and orderly delivery of information. It is responsible for initiating, negotiating and maintaining a connection to virtually any server with the guarantee that information won’t be corrupted when it is sent or received. This error correction and avoidance comes at the expense of speed, as parties participating in the exchange of traffic must yield bandwidth to the overhead of reliable delivery.
Meanwhile, TCP’s counterpart, the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), another member of the IP suite, comprises less than 2% of all traffic generated today. It has fallen into relative disfavor because it guarantees neither the delivery nor integrity of the data it is charged with managing. While it has become the transport — that is, sending and receiving — protocol of choice for delay-sensitive services like IPTV, VoIP and online gaming, its unreliability has made it a poor choice for web serving, email, or other bulk data delivery services.


I started to play around with my rtorrent.rc config file to see if i can improve anything, and got across this little option: Rtorrent.RC config file 

Dont know where this option will lead me and if i will be an part of the Internet killers in the future :) so i take a look what will happen.

I only miss the option disable TCP Trackers ^^

64	# Set whetever the client should try to connect to UDP trackers.
65	#use_udp_trackers = yes
