Ants P2P is designed to protect the identity of its users by using a series of middleman nodes to transfer files from the source to destination. As additional security, transfers are Point-to-Point as well as EndPoint-to-EndPoint secured.
Change Log:
Random Walkers: Ants will check your peer connections at regular intervals to see if you have an inactive peer. If you do, Ants will drop one and replace it with a new peer. It is probable that the reason your peer is inactive is because it is too far out of the way of you current file transfers. By replacing inactive peers, it is possible that you will acquire a new peer in a more advantageous position to facilitate your transfers. Ants will do this continuously until all your peers are active.
Results:
The results of this method have shown great improvement in upload efficiency. It is reasoned that by improving upload efficiency, download speed will ultimately benefit. A more detailed analysis shows that prior to this version 24% of upload bandwidth was used for file uploads and 76% of upload bandwidth was used for proxying and overhead. In this new version, results show that 33% to 50% of upload bandwidth is used for file uploads and the balance is used for proxying and overhead.
Connection Hints: It has been noted that firewalls, as well as selecting an improper IP number in the settings panel, have been the main reasons why most people cannot connect to the network. Ants will check to see if you have a firewall in place. It is very possible that you have the Windows XP Firewall running. It is usually on by default unless you shut it off. You can find further information on shutting it off or allowing an opening for Ants here: http://www.myjavaserver.com/~gwren/Ants/ANts_Firewall.txt You may also test your port using an independent site such as this: http://www.grc.com/port_4567.htm The default port numbers for Ants is 4567 and 4568. It should be noted that on your settings panel, you should examine the IP number to be sure it is the correct one. You should do this every time you reset your Internet connection, and have it set so it remembers it for the entire time you are logged on. You may see another IP number in there that begins with 169. You should not use that unless you are on a private network (WAN / LAN).
