To download a torrent,you have to be online 24/7?
-
Ok,me noob about BT. Question as above. If the seed goes offline,I have to wait for him to come online?
I downloading a BT now,the download rate reads 1kb/s....45 more days... -
it depends.
if someone with broadband is connected it will be much faster. -
There are alot of seeds to dl from. So no worry ... when suddenly all the seeds get connected, ur dl rate will be like 30 or 40 kb/s ... you can go offline .. no problem ... just reconnect when u are online again ....
-
There is this slider thing that says maximum upload rate which can be adjusted...What setting should I leave it at? I am using Starhub Maxonline 2000
-
but i leave mine online cuz it sometimes get very low.. nowadays my total speed can't exceed 100kbps. i've opened and forwarded all my ports liao.

I put it at unlimited. Share share share. And i notice that when my upload rate is high, my download rate will be high too. =)Originally posted by Marco_Simone:There is this slider thing that says maximum upload rate which can be adjusted...What setting should I leave it at?

The seeder list is 2 while the leecher list reads 4,averege progress=47%.are there any implications of this?
-
if i not wrong ... u are leeching from 4 person (dling from them) while seeder means u are sending to 2 person (sending to them).Originally posted by Marco_Simone:The seeder list is 2 while the leecher list reads 4,are there any implications of this? -

i don't understand how to tweak at all.
all i know is open my ports and forward all the traffic to my comp on router. -
"Downloads may be slow:probably firewalled/NATted"
What is this? -

Seed means a person who has the full file(s) and sharing it online. Leech or peer means someone who has the incomplete file(s), downloading and sharing at the same time.Originally posted by Marco_Simone:The seeder list is 2 while the leecher list reads 4,averege progress=47%.are there any implications of this?
Brief explanation. The more seeds the better. The more leechers/peers, the higher the number the seeds have to distribute to and this may lead to slower download, unless the leechers/peers are generous enough to have high upload (sharing) rate at the same time. If only leechers/peers are present, you can never acquire 100% of the file(s).
I usually leave my computer on overnight to download. If your BT software can set listening port, set it to above 50000, any number. My upload rate is 8kbps max -
My download rate on bt is always below a crummy 10kbp/s is this normal?
-
Rather normal. My download speed now is only 4kbps. Ultimately it depends on the number of peers and seeds. Some seeds are NAT Traversal, not sure what it means though but most of their upload speeds are hell fast, around 60kbpsOriginally posted by seow:My download rate on bt is always below a crummy 10kbp/s is this normal? -
actually i managed to get 100% b4 from a d/l that had no seeds. i guess i was jsut lucky the relevant parts where around.Originally posted by chanff8:Seed means a person who has the full file(s) and sharing it online.

Thats really lucky. I've encountered a few torrents which several peers got stuck at 80+%. Once I got stuck at 99.8%, darn...Originally posted by hisoka:actually i managed to get 100% b4 from a d/l that had no seeds. i guess i was jsut lucky the relevant parts where around. -

Surprisingly, the video file still works when I tried to open it. But the video got jammed at certain parts -
actually you can go the irc channel or forum of the fansub who made the file to beg some one to seed it for like half hour for you to complete it.Originally posted by chanff8:The torrent remained dead ever since.
