Rough notes on how requests are determined. piece ordering cache: - pieces are grouped by shared storage capacity and ordered by priority, availability, index and then infohash. - if a torrent does not have a storage cap, pieces are also filtered by whether requests should currently be made for them. this is because for torrents without a storage cap, there's no need to consider pieces that won't be requested. building a list of candidate requests for a peer: - pieces are scanned in order of the pre-sorted order for the storage group. - scanning stops when the cumulative piece length so far exceeds the storage capacity. - pieces are filtered by whether requests should currently be made for them (hashing, marking, already complete, etc.) - if requests were added to the consideration list, or the piece was in a partial state, the piece length is added to a cumulative total of unverified bytes. - if the cumulative total of unverified bytes reaches the configured limit (default 64MiB), piece scanning is halted. applying request state: - send the appropriate interest message if our interest doesn't match what the peer is seeing - sort all candidate requests by: - allowed fast if we're being choked, - piece priority, - whether the request is already outstanding to the peer, - whether the request is not pending from any peer - if the request is outstanding from a peer: - how many outstanding requests the existing peer has - most recently requested - least available piece
