bobcat72 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Until today I have not had this problem. Right now I have the situation that there are hundreds of seeds in swarm but I am not connecting with any. I am connecting with 36(568) peers but my down load speeds are 0.0kB/s most of the time. What is going on?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 What is the availability for the torrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobcat72 Posted January 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Availability is 0.972. But this is with my being connected only to 30 of 563 peers. There are, apparently, (1051) seeds in the swarm but i have not connected to any, i.e. 0(1051). How can I connect to seeds?thanks for your help.

Switeck Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 With availability of 0.972, that means between the 30 peers you're connected to AND counting what you already have, there is only 97.2% of the torrent available. It CANNOT be completed by combining everything everyone you're connected to already has.The seeds on it aren't real.The torrent is a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobcat72 Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 So, the seeds are not real, the torrent is a fake. Any way I could have known that before I started?Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Once you are connected for even 5 minutes, you should have a clue whether you're connecting to any seeds.If there's no seeds and you're connected to 10+ peers...and availability is less than 1.0 then it's likely a fake.

bobcat72 Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Thanks. There were over a thousand seeds listed but I wasn't connecting to any (i.e. Seeds 0(1051)) both five minutes and and couple of hours later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
