known Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Well yesterday my computer turned off at night so I was unable to dl my downloads. I have two downloads, one at 39.1% with 0(2) seeds and 57(788) peers and another at 5.5% with 3(18) seeds and 52(413) peers. Well when I turned on my dl, my dl with only 0(2) seeds and 57(788) peers started to dl at a rate of 140 KB/s while the one with 3(18) seeds and 52(413) dled at about 20 KB/s, what gives? after the dl with the 0(2) seeds caught up with the rest of the people, it obviously slowed considerably down, but why did it get that fast, and the other remain slow, and still is slow at about 15-20KB/s (compared to first I mean).

1c3d0g Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Some torrents are just slow in nature, nothing you can do about that. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 The seedless torrent caught up faster because everyone else was probably at the same place, so it was sort of a free-for-all, grab-all-the-bandwidth-you-can "buffet" for you to download and catch up to them. That's why you observed the slowdown when you did catch up -- you became one of them, not (or barely) getting any new data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
