haklin Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 hey all,i'm trying to download a torrent with 2000 seeds in the swarm and around 3200 leachers. it's impossible to get anything above 1kb/sec....though another torrent is chugging away at around 35 kb/sec..with far less seeds and leachers. is there a scenario where a torrent can be so overly populated that only ppl with extremely quick uploads (my max is 14kb/sec) can get a decent download rate?this torrent is extremely new and i've found it's happened before with new torrents. i just thought its wierd as i was thinking a new torrent with so many users would suck my connection dry.cheeers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 If you have LOTS of connections at once to your computer, the normally tiny amount of bandwidth needed to maintain each connection adds up to a huge portion of your total linespeed.So if you can only upload at 14 KB/sec at best, then if you are connected to 100+ ips you might be lucky to upload at 5 KB/sec.
