How come? Peers dl.

Recommended Posts

How come peers dl. are higher by ALOT, say x6 from my DL speed? It's a specific torrent, nevermind which, and I got uTorrent working properly with the port forwarded. I'm having 10 kbits dl rate from 12(80) seeds, and uTorrent shows peer dls ranging from 60 to 280.

I got edimax-6204wg, max down speed is (limit) 50, it doesn't get to there though, upload is 5 kbps (limit)

Sometimes it doesn't even DL... what is up with that?

By the way, what's the "(80)" value means?

Thanks in advance!

It's a public torrent, I doubt anyone cares about that. Also my ratio is 0.9. It's not a problem, I will seed, but I didn't DL the torrent and they don't upload it. Why are others having such high down rates?

2.2mbits downrate, 0.22 uprate. I ran it while uTorrent was on though.

I won't get rewarded for seeding.

EVERY peer you connect to chooses who THEY upload to based on who gives them the most download speed. If you upload very little to them, they may even block you from downloading from them. On torrents with lots of seeds, this isn't a big deal...but when you get on torrents with as many or more peers than seeds, if you're not uploading at a reasonable rate potentially EVERY peer may ignore you!
