I've noticed that searching and the number of results is variable - sometimes quick and lots of results, sometimes slow and perhaps even no results at all. On a couple of occasions I think this is - at least partly - due to a single peer dropping lots of blocks.
With no means to selectivly remove them - I remembered that there is some kind of threshold.ini file that monitors peers and dropped blocks and that this could be setup to do the job automatically. So:
1) does anyone know what the file is and what the setting in it should be? and how the setting is calculated?
2) Is there a case for making the default much more rigorous so that peers with block dropping problems are persistenly removed from everyones connections - and notified as well about their performance problems. This I think would speed up the network substantially - a bit hard on the problem peers but still...... In fact it would be intresting to see one's performance -I had to check mine by running two sessions.
Best regards
