DCSemi Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 Hi guys, I am currently downloading a few torrents and I am wondering something...Why I am connected to only 56 peers, when there is like 6 000 peers in total. The same applies to Seeds, I am connected to 2 or 3 and there is a total of 300 seeds for that torrent.Can anyone help me?Thanks
thelittlefire Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 You don't want to connect to all peers on a swarm. It'd be much more overhead than any ACTUAL DATA you could transfer.
DCSemi Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Posted July 28, 2008 What about seeds?I would get higher DL speed, no?
thelittlefire Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 Same end-result. uT automatically tries to connect to the fastest peers. When you start out you get a list of peers to connect to. Sometimes they are fast, other times they aren't. Roughly every 5 minutes (default settings) you can get a new bunch of peers (if you're connectable... it may take much longer if not). For flaky/unstable connections you want to connect to fewer, not more peers.
