uMonster Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Don't know about the new build,but i presume it's the same.On the 1st tab with all the info about the torrent,under where it says seeds,underneath that,you've got web seeds. Could someone please tell me what web seeds are? Come to think of it,i've never seen a value of any kind next to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Glossary... in the Manual @ http://utorrent.com/download.phphttp://www.bittornado.com/docs/webseed-spec.txt is a description of it. Basically webseeds are HTTP servers which are included in the .TORRENT file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 It does. I'm not too fond of it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhodeder Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 If there's a torrent with a lot of leechers but little seeders. Could I create a web seed for that torrent and apply it to it would it let everyone download from my web seed also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Only one or two peers actually need to download from webseeds for them to relay data into the swarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhodeder Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 So if i was to add a webseed to the torrent locally it would then let everyone else download from that seed also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Not directly, but the pieces would be relayed through your computer to the rest of the swarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus48 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I would like to know how to set up a hardrive stricktly for uploading files I've downloaded... I think this is called seeding... sorry to sound ignorant but I just want to help out with uploads... sick of having to wait all the time for files that download so slow when I have high speed internet. Can I run two uTorrents at same time... one for downloading and one for uploading... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
