For optimistic unchoking, at any one time there is a single peer which is unchoked regardless of its upload rate if interested, it counts as one of the four allowed downloaders. For short, we say that a peer is a leecher when it is in leecher state and a seed when it is in seed state. The unchoked peers need to be sorted by upload speed so that the slowest node will get choked as part of optimistic unchoking. The optimistic unchoke algorithm has been fingered as one of the weaknesses of bittorrent,,, since selecting a peer to unchoke is random and does not consider reciprocity.
