What's the difference in HTTP & UDP trackers?
What's the difference in HTTP & UDP trackers?
yo
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Datagram_Protocol
udp is windows xp only
i wouldnt really advise using only a udp tracker, most sites offer both.
e.g
http://tracker.sitename.com:1234/announce
udp://tracker.sitename.com:1234/announce
i'd add both trackers when downloading.
that way u get the http users, who dont run windows xp (and who simply dont use udp)
and also the windows xp users who arent using the udp tracker.
UDP is considered faster, but less reliable. I've never used it.
