JZ1111 Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Why is it that there can be 25 seeders in the cloud, but not one active seeder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Because there's a ton of peers and they have no connection slots for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZ1111 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 When a slot arises does the number of active seeders appear? In other words, when you see active seeders are they feeding you? How is the number of connection slots determined? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Uhm each client has different methods for determining that. In uTorrent for example you setup or have the speed guide (Ctrl-G) setup how many slots you have per torrent to upload to people.Additionally uTorrent allows a different number of connections per torrent... if it's say 50 and there are 500 peers in the swarm with only 10 seeds it's highly likely you won't get a seed initially. Over time as old/slow peers are removed from your slots you should hit a seed 1) as long as you're connectable and 2) as long as you're a good uploader yourself.In swarms with small seeders it's highly likely the seeds are masking as peers meaning the more you upload from THEM the more they upload to YOU.

JZ1111 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Do you get more seeds if you seed files yourself? Does this, 1(10), mean that there are ten peers and that one is uploading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 It means you connected to 1 of 10 uTorrent sees in the swarm. You should check out Ultima's manual. He spent alot of time getting it to be clear and include alot of information. You can access it from F1 within uTorrent now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZ1111 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I am reading it now, but why do none of my own seeds have any upspeed stats? Are they working anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
