thelittlefire Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Well 0(1) means there are 1 seeds listed in the cache or scrape data from the tracker but you are not connected to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelittlefire Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Would the explanation that sites have out-of-date scrape/announce information suit you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neuropyro Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 sure so long as its a reason that makes sense i just wanted to know if one of them was wrong i was assuming the sight but i figured id see if there was a different reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Depending on the size of the site, they may update torrent pages every 6, 12 or 24 hours. The only "true" account of active peers on a torrent is starting it up and actively trying to find peers. Scrapes on the tracker when starting the torrent are next-best to accurate, though in the meantime additional peers may have joined or left. Have you looked at some information ABOUT bittorrent and the process of torrenting ?? http://dessent.net/btfaq/#what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neuropyro Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 sometimes i connect to the one seed for less than a second is there anything i can do to get it to stay connected, and the trackers page says there are no seeds is that just because im not connected to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
