#238 closed Defect (fixed)

If warranted, ban peers, not just pieces

Description

The current auto ban implementation only prevents T from downloading pieces it has learned are corrupt from that peer. However, if all a given peers pieces are corrupt, T will continue to download from that peer, slowly banning individual pieces until all are banned. This wastes bandwidth, as T may download all the pieces from that peer, only to hash fail them, and in turn ban each piece.

At some point (say after a certain number of banned pieces), T should realise that the entire peer is corrupted, not just certain pieces from that peer. It should then ban that peer, rather than continuing to download new (most likely corrupted) pieces from it. This is a much more efficient method.

IMO this is a defect because in certain situations it makes normal operation impossible. If the torrent is poisoned with bad data, downloading the complete torrent is impossible.
