#1471 closed Enhancement (fixed)

better heuristics for which peers to unchoke

Description (last modified by charles)

In 1.3x and 1.40, the code that decides which peers to choke and unchoke uses the download speed from the peer to us as its primary key. This is an error since we choke/unchoke peers to indicate that we're interested in uploading to them, not downloading.

download speed could be used as a secondary key if we are concerned with tit-for-tat, but upload speed should be the primary concern.
