Andy_S Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 Hi,I use uTorrent 2.0 build 17774. Now I have 5 tasks seeding and no one downloading. The problem is that the download speed, displayed at the bottom of the window, is not 0, it's about 5 kB/s. Sometimes ago I similar trouble with up speed.Well, the question is what the hell it is?.. I meen, does the program dowloads something I don't know about or whatever it does? Excuse me, guys, but it makes my paranoia scream... %).
moogly Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 Peer communication, RSS feeds, overhead protocol.
Andy_S Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Posted January 19, 2010 So it's ok, if it's about 5 k, right?Thanks.
Switeck Posted January 20, 2010 Report Posted January 20, 2010 Overheads at their worst can be about 10-to-1 ratio -- if you're downloading at 10 KB/sec, then there's also a 1 KB/sec upload of your end requesting more pieces from peers/seeds. Doesn't sound real bad? Well, if you're downloading at 500 KB/sec that can be 50 KB/sec upload!
Firon Posted January 20, 2010 Report Posted January 20, 2010 Eh, I've never seen overhead be that bad. It's more like 15:1 at worst.
