I know you guys are pretty busy the way it is, but I'd like to see KTorrent once and for all be uTorrent-competitive.

Two important features towards this goal are peer exchange and the ability to save the current peers to a file (and restore them the next time the torrent starts).

What are the plans to implement these features? I would expect saved peers to be the easiest to implement...

Saving peers shouldn't be that much of a problem. I can add it to my TODO list, but can't guarantee it'll make it into 2.1

PEX surely won't get into 2.1, that I can tell you

I'll do the peer saving, shouldn't be much trouble to add.

PEX will have to wait until after 2.1.

Hmm, it doesn't seem like peer saving actually works... I'm testing a particular torrent where I got 5000 peers, then I stopped the torrent, exited KTorrent, set iptables to reject the tracker's IP, then I started up KTorrent again... and it's at 0 peers and slowly gettin 'em thru DHT.

It seems to work here, what kind of logging output do you get when you do this ?

It seems like it was my fault for jumping to conclusions. I turned off DHT and it was still finding peers fine. So, it works just doesn't update the total # peers in swarm indication, which makes sense

never mind
