When you start a new torrent, and are limited to 10 half open connections, what happens if your client trys to make connections that are blocked by peer guardian?

Is it possible that these attempted connections to blocked IP addresses could cause more then a momentary delay?

In short no, the client will just have to wait until they time out and are then closed/dropped. I believe this is around 300ms.

In short there might be a delay of a few seconds depending on someone's blocked lists. But that's what that get. Peer Guardian should not be recommended for use anymore at this point. Due to the lists at Bluetack being extremely bloated.

I was watching my peer guardian the other day when I started a torrent for a popular new movie, and I had the same outgoing IP connection blocked, over and over... so it started me thinking how that would effect my ability to obtain useful connections if it keeps failing to connect to the hostile IP

It did manage to get a reasonably good speed, but may have been delayed by this unusual circumstances...

Regarding Peer Guardian, using the bluetack lists is optional, isn't it? I use peer guardian, but the only bluetack list I use is the level one p2p, which is a redundant copy of the peerguardian p2p list (added because the peerguardian list often fails to update).

All of the lists provided by Peer Guardian use the lists from Bluetack.
