Spector Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I have read a number of site and can't get my head around how torrents work exacatly. My my question is what when i pick any torrent does it not download until late at night. I pick one with 165 seeds and 97 peers and get, (0)165, (0)97. I'm in the UK so initally thought it was due to seeds being in America and not online, but then surely they wouldn't show as a seed.I have unblocked ports and all sorts as per many posting but i do get the torrent. Just not right any???Ta,S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spector Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 I thought encrypting it should get round that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 They use other methods to detect that it's BitTorrent traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 It'll be tweaked for 1.8 most likely, but it can only do so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Protocol Encryption is a feeble attempt. It won't help in most cases. Just a few.(Not saying PE is bad. It works for some people and that is what counts.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
