Elowan Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 New to bittorrent et al. In the app windows I see an upload section and amount uploaded. What's being uploaded from my system whilst I'm downloading?
Determination Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 You are uploading parts of the file you are downloading to others. Peer 2 Peer, isn't it great?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bittorrenthttp://www.utorrent.com/beginners-guide.php
Elowan Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Posted August 31, 2007 Ah so! I guess that's great. It surely 'great'ly increases the time it's taking.
Ultima Posted September 1, 2007 Report Posted September 1, 2007 It doesn't increase the time it takes to download unless you've got bad settings. Just realize that P2P isn't just a regular file transferring protocol. It relies on other people's upload bandwidth, which often won't max your connection's download speed out.
