Salut all, Philippe Verdy, one of the GDFers and responsible of LW translations, told at the GDF that Cabos was using a modified LW core that could hurt the network: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/the_gdf/message/21828

Since today, heavy_baby also use the name "acqlite" a software abandonned by Pozytron, its former programmer, to gain marketshare. http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/12747

I got him to respond to some of Phillipe's claims:

heavy_baby:
>>Also it performs automatic download requeries every hour, instead of waiting
for user interaction when a download fails.

It's not true. acqlite does not automatic requery.


>> It also silently ignores minimum quality and minimum speed from results

This should be fixed in the next release.


>>It also increases the number of connections with matching prefered locales
from 2 to 4

It's not true. acqlite prefer default value '2'.


>>It also shares the content of the "Incomplete" directory as normal files

Resistered incomplete files will not be shared. Even on download folder.


>> removed the support for Chat
LimeWire Chat is not needed, and LimeWire user can disable it on the preferences.


>>WhatsNew searches,
What's New search will be added in the future.


>>Daap sharing for iTunes..
Daap is already supported.

me:

Are you trollling? You avoided to talk about the worst tweaking Philippe was talking about:

"uses an
unusual default for the number of connections that leaf nodes maintain to
ultrapeers: 5 instead of 3."

That's sucks. Just as I told Dave of Acquisition, but he didn't listen completely because he was afraid of its users reactions (he dropped from 6 to 5 and first told me he would lower to 3 -- has yet to happen).

"It also computes the dynamic queries from
ultrapeers using 300 expected results per connection instead of 150"

That's what I call network congestionning, this can cause way more than 2 times the traffic to get 2 times the results.

"When downloading, it swarms with 2 additional sources for modem or T1 or T3
users."

Thus lowering download slots for other users....

"More seriously, its ultrapeer will forward all query hits it receives, even
if they don't match a past search (using GUID matching)."

Bad.

"It also shares the content of the "Incomplete" directory as normal files
(simply because it locates this directory within the shared default download
folder, and not within its parent): are users happy with those results for
incomplete files?"

hum...

You should respond at the gdf ASAP, you would have done so long ago if you were actually clean.

Hope you "get it" unlike Dave Watanabe. You can always talk to me about it at gnutellaforums.com if you feel so or don't understand the consequences of the changes you made.

What do you think?
