i think maybe we are misunderstanding something here...

xunlei aims to offer better speed by faking its headers, to make they seem to come from "innocent" software such as internet explorer, etc. by doing this, tmnet's throttle mechanism let those packets pass without any slowdown in speed.

now that i think about it... only torrent packets SENT BY A XUNLEI CLIENT will pass tmnet's throttle mechanism. if u use xunlei to download a torrent, but all the seeders of that torrent use utorrent or anything else, then their packets (sent to you) will still be slowed down by tmnet. on the other hand, the packets that you send to other leechers will be faked as an internet explorer packet (etc) and will not be slowed down.

the bottom point is: using xunlei (only) increases our upload speed, since packets we send out will be faked as something else to fool tmnet's throttle mechanism. to get good download speed, we should encourage more and more people to use xunlei.

i'm not a torrent protocol expert, so if i'm wrong, somebody please correct me...

Added on May 20, 2007, 11:24 pmif my theory is correct, this is why those who download stuff from chinese trackers get high speeds - perhaps a lot of those chinese seeders use xunlei...

on the other hand, if u use xunlei to download a local malaysian torrent, unless ur lucky that many of the seeders use xunlei, u'll only get very low speeds. many malaysian seeders use utorrent, etc., and the packets they send to u will still be throttled by tmnet...

WTB english translation

Yesterday night downloaded a PSP3 game movie trailer from xunlei.com website. Guess what? Mine is on 1mb package, and I can reach max of 102kb/s (average ~85kb/s) just to download this movie trailer of 71 mbytes in file size.

Just to share with you guys. I guess to reach the maximum download speed, you will need to get the torrent file from xunlei.com website. Once you add this torrent into the xunlei torrent client (thunder), it will downloading using its own protocol and whereby our TMNET can't throttled it, hence reach the max download speed.

If you are download a torrent from, say, Mininova.org, whereby a lot of people are using uTorrent, BitTorrent and etc, then you won't reach the max speed as you can upload full speed to them but they can't upload full speed to you, because whatever they are upload to you, their speed just going to be throttled by TMNET (caused TMNET can throttled traffic from uTorrent, BitTorrent and etc but not Xunlei)

In short, if you are connected to a torrent whereby a lot of people using xunlei torrent client to download, then you will be in fast speed, else, back to the snail speed.

Correct me if I were wrong.

3. About extension file, i give a example. E.g U got a incomplete file download from bitcomet, so it's name is ABC.avi.bc!. So u wan to transfer to Xunlei continue the download. So u change the extension from ABC.avi.bc! to ABC.avi.td. Make sure ur file directory are correct.

Depends on the BT application, bitcomet is .bc!, xunlei is .td
