Overall Results:
This was not a clinical analysis, and the statistics should not be considered valid or standard. Whether or not Top-BT works better in a Linux environment, we couldn’t speculate. Additionally, perhaps Top-BT works better with torrents that have a smaller peerlist - again, this is inconclusive on our end. Finally, Top-BT may have more success when connected to other Top-BT (enabled) clients, but again this is purely speculation.
Link-Hop Aware=ON - Our Synopsis:
When Top-BT topology "Link-Hop Aware" was set to ON, it seemed to slightly increase the download speeds, and we also tested this on-the-fly (on and off) during the torrent transfer to monitor the differences. Thus we would conclude that it
does work to some degree. Nonetheless, Top-BT/LH-ABC could not compete with µTorrent’s DL speed, regardless of the client settings.
AS-Hop Aware=ON - Our Synopsis:
With AS-Hop enabled, we were clearly unable to generate quality download speeds on the two torrents that we tested. For us, it just did not produce. After one hour or so, we managed a top download speed of just 13.0 KB/s.
