What do the numbers mean?

[dsyben]

What do the numbers mean in the seed and peer columns?

I know 2(527) in seed means there are two people seeding the file etc

but what do the numbers in brackets mean?

How do I find good .torrents?

I am downloading at aprx 10kb/s on avrg. but speed test says i should be able to do 1000 - 2000 kb/s?

Any help?

This question has been asked dozens of times already

How do I find good .torrents?

Know what to look for

I am downloading at aprx 10kb/s on avrg. but speed test says i should be able to do 1000 - 2000 kb/s?

Speed test sites measure in *bit/sec where uTorrent measures in *byte/sec.

Use OpenOffice torrents to test your torrent speed capabilities.

Thanks, that was just astoundinglly helpful.

I am sorry if my being new to using utorrent offends you.

I was simply requesting help for somethimg i did not know, not to be chastised for being new.

I hope you feel big now.

Merged double post(s):

I am downloading a torrent fron open office.org at 10-12kB/s

is this slower than usual? Seems slow to me but is alot faster than my other torrents.

P.S.

I have tried the suggestions on the slow page (disable DHT etc)

I would really appreciate the help of someone with some experience in this area.

Am I just downloading crap torrents? If so where do I get/how do I find good ones? (how will i know they are good?)

THANKS!!!
