 Re: Chunksizes of 97 KB
Quote: Originally posted by TranceTip
97 KB is quite a small chunksize. Other Gnutella clients (e.g. GTKG) have chunksizes of 500 KB minimum and 5 MB maximum (but this is configurable). Small chunksizes mean lower throughput when downloading/uploading files, because a new connection must be established more often and the risk also is that the upload slots are full on the server previously connected to. | The TCP connection is persistant - it won't be dropped and reestablished until the download is completed. Only the HTTP headers are exchanged once again after a chunk has been downloaded.
