ZeframCochrane Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 As it happens, sometimes (actually, very often) I leave my client to seed, even if I have completed every download. When I do this, it confuses me to see that some 100% completed dowload show .1-.2 Kb/s of download speed, it's very low, granted, so it's nothing to be worried about, but I'm just curious.If the download is completed, what kind of data do those .1 - .2 kilobytes being downloaded every second represent?

Ultima Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#Why_does_it_show_download_speed_when_seeding.3FHeh, the FAQ even has the exact speeds you're seeing (which is a rarity) ;DIt's basically communication overhead with peers, and DHT if you have that enabled. µTorrent has to get information from the peers about which pieces they want, what their progress is, or what infohash they're looking for, so that's what you're seeing (to get the information means it has to download the bits of information from the peers).
