Seeds would not really impact you that much as it does not take-up any downstream bandwidth, only the upstream. You can also limit the upstream bandwidth that your torrent software takes so that you do not experience any problem with real-time software like VoIP and online games.
Lastly, take note of the copyrights that are associated with the materials that you are downloading. Copyright infringement is a crime punishable by law. And the penalties can be very heavy.
Anything that you need to pay for is usually copyrighted and downloading them for free is something to avoid. Seeds are complete copies of the file wile peers are those who are still downloading the file. More seeds mean faster than downloads while more peers mean slower downloads. Peers who do not remove the file after downloading it becomes seeders. Cite APA 7 , l. Difference Between Seeds and Peers. In regards to PEERS , if my display says 38 , it means 38 people are actively downloading "in progress" from my Utorrent feed as I download the torrent, but there are total people that are trying to access that same "in progress" feed, correct?
If this is so, for purposes of this discussion assuming a temporary "static" amount of downloaders, as people on that list of 38 drop off, some of those may get the chance to connect directly and become part of the list of 38?
I do realize the numbers will change constantly, but I'm trying to refer to each side left and right of the character left parenthesis to avoid confusion. Reasons people might drop off the left side could be that they close Utorrent and stop downloading, or they finish downloading completely and start seeding, or maybe some how they got bumped off due to some internet glitch or connection quality issue, etc.
The number they see may be 3 or 4 or 10 or whatever, and that means that their are either 2 or 3 or 9 others seeding in addition to the 1 I am seeding, correct? The 36 is the number of completed seeds the tracker saw possibly in the last day, many of those are actually no longer connected or firewalled or already have max connections for that torrent Hm, actually, I might need to update my definition of the Seeds and Peers column a bit For the torrent jobs list, it displays tracker scrape data ONLY IF the torrent is stopped and the option to scrape stopped torrents is enabled.
Peers displays the number of peers you are connected to, and the number of peers in the swarm within the parentheses. If the torrent job is stopped, and bt. Indeed, as Switeck explained, the number in the parentheses is the number of actual seeds seen in the swarm. Regarding the questions for when you're seeding The seed count in the parentheses should increase by 1, but the seed count outside the parentheses should drop to 0 seeds don't need to, shouldn't need to, and won't connect to other seeds.
Yes, your download should drop to almost 0. And yes, to the last question -- you uploaded more than you downloaded, which is good for BitTorrent. I'll read through this and try to digest it. If I have any more questions, I will post and ask for clarification. For some reason, the whole thing seems "abstract" to me - kind of ethereal - so I'm having a bit of a hard time grasping it.
But I greatly appreciate the explanations. Thank you for taking the time. Direct connection would be faster, but I can still get the data, it will just bounce around a bit and eventually find its way to my client, is that right?
I'm not sure this question would be relevant, depending on the answer. Is it possible for the SEEDS column to have a 0 on the left side the entire time they are downloading? If so, am I only downloading from the seeds in the parenthesis?
If so, how am I able to download? Regarding post Keep in mind that this is still just client communication, nothing more. The number outside the parentheses only increases if, and ONLY if, you actually connect to the peer. There is no "indirect" connection by which you can still receive data "indirectly. Thanks for trying anyway. Inside the parentheses means nothing in terms of who you're connected to. It's just counting how many seeds or peers there are in the swarm.
It's connected versus the potential number of people you can get connected to but aren't necessarily connected to. As anoxan is showing it, it's simply a fraction ;o. The connected people are the ONLY people you can possibly transfer data with at any given time.
The people you're not connected to, you'd have to connect to them first before you can possibly transfer data with them. Ok - is it possible to get downloads if the value on the left is at ZERO, as in 0 I really appreciate your patience.
I'm mad at my stupid brain for pulling a Homer Simpson. Being able to download isn't entirely a simple matter of how many people you're connected to -- the dynamics of it all is more complex than that. So if I load a torrent and it always reads 0 number , where number is the only value that changes, I will not be able to download that torrent, correct? If all the seeds left on a huge torrent but enough people had different parts of it then availability might still be over 1 and you could still in theory complete the torrent.
However if someone with a KEY piece that nobody else has leaves, then everyone else cannot complete the torrent till someone else restarts that torrent that has that missing key piece. I mean, logically, you'd think "Hey, if the thing is Zero, I can't get it, if it is above Zero, I'm golden" but it don't sound like that works.
A file will be downloaded faster if more people are involved in the swarm. A user who wants to upload a file first creates a small torrent descriptor file that they distribute by conventional means web, email, etc.
They then make the file itself available through a BitTorrent node acting as a seed. When a file is completely downloaded by a peer, it becomes an additional seed.
Source: Wikipedia. Technology News Security news Gadgets Guide. Sign in. Seeders: Seeders are the people who have completely downloaded the torrent file, and now they are sharing it with other people peers who are still downloading the file.
Peers: Peers also known as leechers are the people who are still downloading the file and receiving the data. Peers also share data just like seeders, but only share the data that they have already downloaded.
Seeders and peers for a particular torrent file decide how fast it will download The more seeders and peers are available for a particular torrent, the faster the download will be.
Trackers are sources that track and provide seeders and peers for a particular file, the more trackers you have, there is a more chance of finding more seeders and peers. You can manually add trackers in uTorrent for any particular download.
