1c3d0g Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Yes. BitTorrent depends on everybody contributing back to the swarm with their uploads...if there are too many leechers and just a few seeds with limited upload, you can bet it'll take a long time. This of course is assuming you have "Network OK" in your status bar and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animorc Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 And of course, it depends on your maximum speed as well. If your downloadspeed is limited to 50kB/s, it will take a bit more than 20 hours to download 4 GB.And 1c3d0g: It's peers, not leechers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 I specifically said leechers to imply the lack of upload... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
