sithsithley Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Basically the file I'm trying to get, there's only one seed, and the flags on this one are "dS E". I read the FAQ and some other posts about snubbing and optimistic unchoking, and I understand maybe half of it. What I want to know is how do I get this peer to stop snubbing me?

jewelisheaven Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 You have it backwards, snubbing is a term used on your end to refer to peers which have been inactive and which can possibly be receiving data from http://btfaq.com/serve/cache/23.htmlIf the seed keeps sending to you, there's naught you can do except be patient. If you don't want the torrent taking up a queue slot, right click, "Force Start". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sithsithley Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 OK so then how do I stop snubbing this person? They've got a perfectly good complete copy of the file I want, and of three different torrents of the file from three different sites, this is the only one with any peers...

Firon Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Your client snubs them because your client asks for data, they say they'll send it, but don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sithsithley Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Ok I think I get it, that's probably what the lower case "d" in the flags means, right? According to the FAQ, that means interested and choked...So how do I unchoke? I guess I was asking the wrong question...I tried raising bandwidth allocation to high, I tried Force Start, Start, Update Tracker, is there something I'm not doing that I should be doing, or am I doing something I shouldn't?
