No, I don't think so. OK, some hits are indeed delivered via UDP. But let me quote myself: > Now, does this decreased gnet "quality" really lead to a decreased > upload throughput? Yes, it does.

As I said, my average HTTP upload bandwith utilization has dropped significantly since then. If the decrease in query hits delivered per node was only because they were delivered via UDP instead, there wouldn't be such an impact on resulting uploads. Instead, my upload should even grow with the gradual adoption of UDP. Also, the change was too fast, literally within one week or even one day. Since my shared files didn't change, I assume that there are indeed fewer queries reaching my host than before. But why? Changed size of keyword tables? Something about query routing? Or a topological change by Bear/Lime? I can merely guess :-( Haxe ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
