Swarming strategy

Open pfrazee opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

Should we:

  1. Use one swarm for all archives at one port, or
  2. Use a separate swarm for each archive, each on a different port

IIRC doing 2 has the advantage that it (effectively) binds an archive to the port so that you always know which archive is being synced when a connection is made. That said, there's only so many ports on a system.

After hunting down what firewall was blocking incoming Dat connections, I’d prefer ♯1 :)

Hashbase went to #1 I think as did hypercore-archiver. Code here is just a bit behind both.

Yeah we went with 1
