alirazz Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I am not that computer/torrent savvy.1. Under seeds and peers, there are numbers in brackets beside another number in the torrent line--what are the different numbers? What is a swarm?2. What does the "logger" do?3. What are trackers and what do they do?4. Under "Peers", what is this info (I think IP addresses) and do I need it?5. What's "hash"?6. What does it mean if you are downloading and the little down arrow box is red?Yep, these are probably some pretty basic questions for most people!! Thanks for your help . . .

thelittlefire Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 The INFOHASH is how the peers you connect to know what you're downloading A swarm is the collective name for all people interested in any particular torrent. "The swarm downloading yesterday's Heroes episode will probably peak by Friday"More specific to bittorrent is @ http://dessent.net/btfaq/#what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
