[core-dev] Bandwidth Balanced Swarms?

Hello again -- I posted this to the forums, thinking it was more along the lines of a question the end user community could help with, but since I'll want to have full speed from my own nodes I thought I'd repost here in hopes that I can be pointed in the right direction. Curently I'm looking in ManangedDownloader and HTTPDownloader to relax this balancing, if possible. Is that the right place to look? Regards, Brian

Hello... I can't be certain, but for me (Limewire Pro 4.2.3) it looks like Limewire is balancing bandwidth between the various sources when swarming a download. I have tested this with my own server, which drops in upload speed (to the test client) shortly after the client finds more sources -- my client starts off downloading at full speed from my server initially, since its the first source it finds, but then the upload speed dramatically tapers off once the client finds other sources. For example, with only my server as the source the transfer rate is about 100KB, but that drops down to about 5KB once the client finds other sources.

Is this how Limewire was designed? I ask because I wanted to use my own server as the main source (fastest downloads), with only minor amounts being downloaded from the larger Gnutella network. But no matter what I try I can't seem to keep a full speed download going from my server once other sources are available to the client.

Is there a way to do that?

With thanks for any insight into the Limewire design you can offer!
Brian
