Some Statistics on Ants

[tsafa1]

I'm gona post some statistics for you guys to kick around.

ver .0.8.1
Uptime 57 hrs 7 min
compressed download 2% upload 4%
total download 1,750 mb total upload 2,311 mb (proxied files plus own file transfers)
own download 121 mb own upload 513 mb (own files transferd only)

i don't download muc cause i have everything so the own files downloaded can be discounted. I am contantly uploading. it seems i have very popular filesto share. My max download speed is about 100 kb/s , my max upload speed is about 13 kb/s on my dsl line

For now, that the good, the bad and the ugly.

[nms04]

thx for the stats, but is realy someone using it?? now there r only 4 users online ... the network wos 2much" bigger some weeks ago .... but ant's is getting better and better and the interface is nicer than in the privious versions

You must be in an old channel. The correct channel is #antsp2p the server is irc.us.azzurra.org you can view that chanel with any irc program (mirc, mozilla chat, etc.)

At current there are 35 users in the channel. the most i have seen was 47 yesterday. Someimes on off hours it getsto a low of 20.

I invite other users to post their stats for comparison sake. My stats show that i am using almost 100% of my upload bandwith. the current ratio is about 78% for proxying other users files and 22% for uploading my own files. On a few occasion i have come near a 50-50 split but that is rare. My tests focus on uploading because that bandwidth is more limited for most people. In any p2p network, even with swarming, your total downloads on the network are limited by total uploads.

bandwidth controll is working well

[ANtsP2P]

tsafa Do you understand this bandwidth control setting as I don't?

my connection speed 512 kbits down 256 kbits up

So what should my setting be?

Should it be 256 kbits?

Or Should it be 50 K b/s?

I really do not understand the units.

Is it in same units as 512/256 or is in in same units as when you download for me at top speed 60 K b/s?

[tsafa1]

Unless i missed something, just set your seyting to DSL . The rest will be automaticly set.

The bandwidth contol mean that in your case your max cpacity for uploads and downloads will be 256 kbits. prior to this version you had an imballance where you could download more then you could upload. This caused a probelms when you were proxying files, resulting in a lot of information being lost. The loss of information made the transfers stick.

The bandwith control is automatic. keep your settings as you had them. When Gwren gave me the update, he did not tell me to make any further adjustments. We will ask him when we see him in the channel, but lets not change any settings untill he tells us.

also, post your stats here with your peer info so we can see whats going on.

[ANtsP2P]

no, no, no. just set your seting to DSL . The rest will be automaticly set.

OK BUT its a slider you can adjust it!

yeah, i stoped myself short and just edited myself as soon as i made the post. We need more info from Gwren. I think better not to make changes unless we know for sure.

[CactusChris]

It had to be someting simple causing the problems! Well done those who figured it out. Now - does the same apply to MUTE?

[tsafa1]

Of course Gwren, figured it out. Its a sure bet that the same applies to mute, since Ants routing theory is based on mute. I sent an email to the mute developers regarding this new discovery and solution.

[tsafa1]

abc, your download stats look good. i'm concerned about your upload stats. The ratio between your own uploads and total uploads should be close to 50% or at least above 30% . Do you find that you have 0 speed uploads or .1 kb/s uploads. or are your shared files just not popular ;-P This version specificly targeted that issue off 0 speed uploads (stuck downloads)

[tsafa1]

ver 8.7
uptime 11 hrs 5 min
compr down 4% up 3%
total down 1612 mb up 2369 mb
own down 43 mb up 373 mb

The ratio for my uploads is low too now. I think the throtel slider may need adjustment.
on the settings panel i see the bandwidth throtel the defualt for my cable conection is 500 kb/s for EACH neigbor. I think that is way too high. I figure that for 10 neighbors the limit should neigbor sould not the limit be more like 7 kb/s for each neighbor??? sent email to gwren

[infringer]

The biggest issue is the amount of bandwidth being used on a contstant basis many ISP's take note of the amount of bandwidth you use even though your connection is "Unlimited" If you download gigs and gigs of information daily eventually your ISP is going to step in and say something to you for using up a large amount of bandwidth on your node. Maxing out your bandwidth downloading or uploading at top speed is a tell tale sign for some providers... Though the proxing of information is totallly legal on the other hand... I really do however say that in all actuality theres no way to prove if you were simply proxying data or downloading the file short of checking your harddrive and even then whos to say that you didnt rip that movie from a dvd you borrowed from a friend or a cd that you borrowed from a friend or at one time you didnt own the movie or cd from which you ripped it off of ...

So really in truth there is no plausible case against anyone yet that can be mounted thats why I love the concept of this program.

-infringer-

[tsafa1]

infriger, has you ISP actualy sent you or anyone you know a warning? They make a general statement against filesharing, but that is just so they can keep themselves legaly out of the fight withthe RIAA/MPAA . For the most part know if it was not for p2p programs we would all still be on 56 k connections. on two occasion, when i was resloving connections problems, I told the tech i run my p2p programs 24/7, they seemed fine with it. They just wanted to get it working again so they could continue the monthly billing.

I would not mind using ANTs, but frankly, having only 35 people in a channel just doesn't cut it for me. If it ever gets as big as the content shared on edonkey or Bit Torrent, I may give it a try, but the network itself seems too small for me right now......

[tsafa1]

OK BUT its a slider you can adjust it!

I was getting some slow uploads today so is started moving that slider round a bit. The default was 500 kb/s. (maybe miss-labelled) I increased it to difrent levels untill, i went all the way to the right whereit read 10240 kb/s. My uploads returned to the level that i had yesterday. getting total uploas speeds of 68 kb/s and own file uploads at 13 kb/s.

not sure, just experimenting, i thing Gwren is too.

[infringer]

No when I got banned it was without notice from the corperate company but I'll admit I was a hog somedays downloading 4GIGs of information ....

As for my ISP they just wanted me to sign an agreement to say that I would stop downloading infringing materials but I never signed it and they kept billing me without service... So I canceled them and moved on down the line, one of the tech guys there told me flat out "Between me you and the wall do not sign the papers provided you will be admitting to guilt"

So I said screw it time to ISP hunt.

ver 8.7

own down 30 own up 422 mb

Gwren said meter is right . if you max upload is 300 kb/s, set it to 300 kb/s

[tsafa1]

tell use you what your internet speed is too, so we can see if the upload speed is being fully utilized.

[tsafa1]

i calculate you uploaded at 22 kb/s

i forgot what the ratio is between kb/s and kbits . can someone please comment.

[tsafa1]

ver 8.9
uptime 6 hrs 2 min
compr down 3% up 2 %
total down 985 up 1645 (avg total speed up 77.6 kb/s) proxy + ownfiles
own down 34 up 444 (avg own file upload speed 20.9 kb/s)

I concentrate on upload stats more , becase they feed the network and are in shorter supply. I am curently not downloading much, but my uploads are always running.

my opinion:
i am consistaty seeing very good speeds. Maybe not as fast as Bit-torrent or Edonkey, but i think the cost/benfit ratio of using ants is starting to reach a level where you are giving up a little bit of speed for a lot of security. The best part is tht Gwren says there is still a lot of work to be done. That means we can expect the cost of high security to come down in the next few months.

[infringer]

Hmmm yeas I'd have to agree the rates are a little more within reason but the amount of content available and sources for the content still seems to be at a minor shortage that will change as more users join in on the fun.

I am wondering what your connections speed is

[CactusChris]

or maybe the throughput slider is set too low.

Chris

[fnordprefect]

300 K bits/sec down.
64 K bits/sec up.

I usually have ANts set to the ISDN defaults (IIRC) I'm not at home so I'm going from memory.

What settings would you recommend? I'd be happy to change them and then report back on the results.

yeah that 64 k upspeed is killing you. you have to set the slider to 64 k otherwise the imballace will cause you to loose packets of information.

[fnordprefect]

I'll have a go a bit later.
Thanks.

[fnordprefect]

I'm going to try these settings this evening:

Max neighbours 3
Max DL to server 4 (minimum for this setting)
Max allowed sec. connection 10000 (default)
Connection Speed 56K
Max sources per DL 4
Max concurrent DL 3
Bandwidth up/down: 5 (Impossible to get the slider to this setting without using 56K as connection speed.)

Will post stats later for comparison.

tdafe, how much do oyu pay for underwear and dsl ?

dsl is $30 per month. just signed 1 year contract. its a great deal from verizon. Underware, i get the cheep stuff too :upside I go all out on vacation, spare no expense, but i'm very economical in my day to day.

latest ants 9.6 c is giving me some really good performance now that the hashing of big files is done and it is hashing small ones cpu is falling as low as 25%, meanwhile uploads seem strong.

ver 9.6

own up is 56% of total up. That is a dam good ratio. That is the ratio i was seeing with last 9.5 version. That is also the sort of ratio that i think is acceptable to p2p users at large. That is the lowest overhead i have seen for ants.

This version has been running great for me. As mentioned before, the search still needs to be worked on. But other than that, things have been running smoothly, with 1 Source downloads i have been getting speeds between 10 and 20 KB. However, they will stay constant for a while then sometimes they stop, i get lots of interrupts, not sure if that is because people are coming and going from the system or not.

[Undercurrent]

Furthermore, about my search results, how come when i do a search, i get lots of results, and 80% of them have nothing in common with the query i typed in. Like ill type in a word like "Apple" for example, and ill get results like "Orange." Am i making sense? Why does this happen?

[ferrarimodena360]

fanboy the idea is not how much u can download but what u can download

That could be due to the full indexing: If a text/pdf/doc/rtf file is called "apple" but has the word "orange" in it, then the file will be returned as a result on either keyword if you have the Content checkbox ticked.

[tsafa1]

fanboy the idea is not how much u can download but what u can download

hmmm. From development point of view. i only care about how much can be uploaded. Upstream bandwidth is more limmited, and uploading is the key to a good network. I uploads are fast and efficient, downloads will surly follow.

Wow, compressed data really went up in this version.

[Hornet]

wow, the new ants version 098 with protocol 018 is as fast as shareaza or emule, I have download speeds constantly with 15 kibs, sometimes 1- 3 kibs as well

and the ratio is 100 : 50 mb downloaded.
(upload is 5 : 1. because no one is interested in my shared files)

So 2:1 for download with compression only for 4 %


ABC the reason the download speeds are so high is because the network is small.

ANts is improving and is fast now but it needs to scale.

Gwren is working on it and with other developments like Kerjodando in the pipeline anonymous P2P will definitely scale.

Hornet :bk :;) :bk

Actuly Gwren said that he shut off the new scaling feture today temporarily, so he can try to isolate a bug.

He also said that anyone that wants to use ants to download should get verion 9.6c from the source forge and use that. The 9.7 series will be very experimental for some time to come. 9.7 is only for hardcore bata testers that can stay up to date with new releases and report.

[nms04]

i have a question: who likes /uses ants? :-/

[CactusChris]

I do and I do.

[tsafa1]

me too. it is the cutting edge of p2p. Even if you use other program to actualy download, as i do, every one should be interested in the development of anonymous and secure technology. Dispite what your favorite 2nd generation program is. all fileshare's should pick a third generatin program and help test it. You have many choices so one should be to your liking. Ants, Mute, Winney, Frenet, I2P, Nodzilla, gnet... i'm sure i forgot at leat one.

i have a question: who likes /uses ants? :-/


See http://www.myjavaserver.com/~gwren/GWebCache/stats.jsp

This shows there are currently THREE ANts networks with at least 250 users in total.

ANtsP2P/beta0.9.4 with approx 49 users

ANtsP2P/beta0.9.6c the STABLE version with approx 100 users

and

ANtsP2P/beta0.9.7wxy the UNSTABLE version with very approx 100 users.

These figures under state the numbers on ANts P2P as users have to check a box to use the Gwebcache where these figues come from.

If users don't use the webcache they can connect via IRC, local cache or manually to trusted peer.

So in total today ANts has at least 250 users spread accross three networks.

Hornet :playboy :love :playboy

[.:sp00ky:.]

seems strange to split it up into 3 networks when its small as it is.

[Abyss00]

There are more then three networks. Everytime the protocol changes it makes a new network.


We need to get it down to just two networks. The STABLE and the UNSTABLE. Currently most people don't really know what version is the STABLE version so they stay on an older version or they update to one of the test versions that quickly become outdated.

People that don't want to update Ants everyday should be using the STABLE version and we need to come up with a better way of letting people know which version is the STABLE version.

[tsafa1]

yeah, this is due to all the rapid protocole changes and the delay in people getting up to date. At one point Gwren told me that there had to be alomost 10 difrent netowrks. Anyway this does not mater, the rapid progress justifies the temporary breakup of the netowrk.

now we on 9.7y keep reporting those thread numbers. Gwren is asking me for an hourly report.

[Abyss00]

But this does not need to be the case.

Gwren just needs to have a note on the download page saying something like:

Here is the stable version of Ants for everyone to use.

If you are interested in beta testing you can get the latest unstable version through this java web update here.
Note beta testers will need to update dayly and report back problems and stats.

tsafa1 would you pass that on to Gwren.

He did, and i posted it in this forem somewhere. He said to use the last 9.6c That is the only installer version on the source forge and it is the only one he recomends. All the other say "unstable bata"

From IRC:
Iesius: hmm I haven't uploaded anything since beta 1.0.0 -- what's up with that!
Iesius: this seems to happen every so often (using webinstall version) and then I end up uninstalling ants completely and starting over...and what do you know it then transfers data again
Iesius: does anyone think this is a problem with ants?
Iesius: or am I just stressing over nothing?
Abyss00: Sounds like a problem to me.
Abyss00: I have been getting really low speeds too, but I thought it was just bug in the current version and not a recurring thing like you are talking about.
Iesius: I've mentioned it to Gwren before but he was no help. Gwren doesn't mean to ignore me when I tell him about it I think he doesn't understand what I am trying to say...
Iesius: and yes there is also a significant traffic decrease in the traffic I pass along as well
Iesius: there were version that lit up my router and ants reported that I had transfered over a gig in a day! as of 1 and a half hours ago I have transfered around 10 megs
Iesius: it's hard to tell what's going on it could just be small network size...

Why did the speeds just die? The version didn't change.

Hello Tsafa 1 and Abyss (and others that contribute to testing),

I am new to the forum, and I would like to contribute also with my
computer time, to the development of the Ants network.

The question is, which version should I use? The project seems to be
under heavy development, and to say the truth, I am a little bit lost.
I have 1.0.0 , 0.5.1

Also are there any special settings that I should apply for the testing?

Thanks in advance

Tsafa and the ants we need some feedback.

When is the client going to be documented so that we can fix the bugs.

Has Gwren flipped out or has he been over-whelmed by Irish hospitality.

There needs to be development of ANts or why are we testing it?
