arcman Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Last week I accidently deleted a 6.5gb file in the middle of a download. Rather slow, it had taken the better part of half a day and was 33% done. A bit pissed at myself, I then started downloading the file again and noticed it was extremely slow. We're talking a best of 5kb slow!So far it's been running eight hours a day for a week and it's only 66% done. Seeds are 5(6) and peers are currently 6(23). There are usually five or more peers showing they have 100% of the file but some of these show no connection at all and the others are a whopping .5kb or so.What's strange here is today I downloaded a 1.5gb file that hit a high of 565kb and the file was done in less than an hour. It had less seeds and peers.Since I'm new to this I don't have a clue. But I thought it was odd that this file was considerable quicker to download the first time and now it's a slug and other files dl just fine. I could only find this file listed one place and that wasn't using PB.Any comments as to why this could be happening?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Peers and seeds on that slow torrent may have set their priority and/or upload speed VERY low since you started. Or they just quit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
