All Users: Please Enable Encryption!

[j0hn]

in my case, not at all. according to those that designed it, not at all. only some paranoid ppl, or ppl on windows 3.1 486 machines think it makes a difference to speed. it uses a tiny bit more ram, that on any pc made in the last 5 years wont notice. if u have an interest in sharing, enable encryption, so those that are being shaped can get round it.

also, if u enable encryption, it means u can download from traffic shaped users too. isps are also shaping their upload traffic.

i dont understand very well but there are some incompatibilities between encrypted clients and not-encrypted? I read the faq but since my english is not good... ^_^ anyway i've enabled encryption, speed is the same.

how much does encryption slow down a connection if shaping is not being employed?

well, in theory, it'd slow it down to the rate at which your computer can process the encryption, which for most folks, is going to be much greater than the rate at which your computer can pass traffic.

however, if you're encrypting your stream and only accepting other encrypted connections, then the max speed you can achieve is going to depend on how many other people are using encryption.

your best bet is probably to turn it on and see what happens -- you can always turn it back off.
