bajaresident Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Out of 773 seeds I can seriously only connect to 2? The torrent in question is only downloading at around 16kbps.I use UnPnP and it works perfectly, staying green.I usually get average around 120-200kbps speeds. This torrent I am attempting to get has 2 (773) seeds and 16 (1092) peers. How can it be I am only connected to 2 seeds and 16 peers if the cache has so many listed?Is it possible to re-scrape? Would that even do anything? What do I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Why do you think that connecting to more will actually improve your speeds?If you're maxing out your connection's potential, connecting to more will just slow you down.

bajaresident Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I did not know that connecting to more seeds/peers would slow me down? Why is this? the torrent in question is only coming across at 16.5 kbps right now and like I said I usually get over 100 easily.I figured if it had connected to more than 2 I would see an increase above 16 kbps?

DreadWingKnight Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Connecting to more slows you down by dividing your connection more ways than is practical.Additionally, connecting to more generates more protocol overhead which takes bandwidth away from actual transfers.
