GTHK Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 LINK:Does µTorrent support Super Seeding mode?. Please check the FAQ's and such first . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTHK Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Super seeding is a feature of some BitTorrent clients that attempts to minimize the amount of data which must be uploaded by the original seed until the first completion of a downloading peer. The feature was conceived by John Hoffman and first implemented in the BitTornado client in mid 2003. This feature should only be used when there is no more than one seed. It is called Initial Seeding in µTorrent because it is only supposed to be used when there is only one seeder.That was linked to in the FAQ, there's more information on that page .

Ultima Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 http://bittornado.com/docs/superseed.txt <-- explains the utility of super-seeding(also in the chain of links starting from the FAQ entry)Read the documentation, and you'll realize that your questions aren't really relevant in the context of super-seeding...1) It doesn't make sense for super-seeding to work outside of seeding mode2) It works best if there are at least two non-seeding peers in the swarm, and no other seeds in the swarm. Why? Because having other seeds in the swarm may mess up µTorrent's knowledge of which pieces are available in the swarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 It's probably ok to use super-seeding/initial seeding if the only other seed is very slow.The sudden appearance of new pieces should only cause minor confusion to uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
