-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I can personally give details of the error involved in one of the BNBT variants, as I wrote the code (based off of the code of another modification, taken from the BNBT forums) that bans based on HTTP User Agent. The error generated from this ban in my code is "Client version is banned, check with tracker administrator." I have a feeling that the key flag is for one of those user-specific download enforcement methods described in the snipped part of Brian's message. Harold - -----Original Message----- From: Brian Dessent [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, September 25, 2004 8:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BitTorrent] protocol violation "key flag"? <snip> Finally there are some tracker admins that have taken to banning certain clients based on their HTTP User-Agent string. I think the notion here is that they don't want peers that are using old/broken ccode, or those clients that have otherwise been deemed "leecher-friendly." Some of the BNBT variants support this. None of the above should affect someone using the current released (or CVS) mainline, so I think the original poster is mightily confused. Brian - --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
