WeBsmartRocks Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 After I do the initial seeding of a torrent I create, and I wait say, 24 hours or so to let the seed propagate, have I done my duty such that I can stop seeding that torrent and seed new ones now?I guess I am wondering how this works because I am totally new to uploading torrents. So, once the torrent is seeded I need to leave my PC on so the files which the torrent refers to on my PC will be available to the community?Thanks for your help and I am grateful to be in this community.
moogly Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Usually 5 or 10 seeders after you are enough to guarantee the spread of your torrent. Anyway it's depends if the torrent is large and multi-files, because in this case some leechers can do hit-and-run and pick only the files they want without seeding...
WeBsmartRocks Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 So how do I know if there are 10 or more seeders? Where do I look?Also: So, once the torrent is seeded I need to leave my PC on so the files which the torrent refers to on my PC will be available to the community?
moogly Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 uT diplays the number of seeders. If you leave your PC so the best solution is to set "seeding goal" in % or min in uT.
WeBsmartRocks Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 I have looked in the GUI and in the Help file but it is not evident how to set a seeding goal. Can you tell me where to set that?
Ultima Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 The default is set in Preferences > Queueing, and is based on a percentage ratio of the downloaded amount. It can be changed on a per-torrent basis in the torrent properties.
