I pick 1 out of 50 files to download, loads of red lines?

Recommended Posts

Whenever I pick a multi file torrent (eg loads of tv shows) it downloads fine and the torrent starts with a few blue lines and slowly fills up until it is full. However afterwards the other files in the torrent slowly get red lines as if they are downloading and fill up, what is going on here, am I getting sent data I don't want and is it counting towards my limit? or do they mean something else?

Thanks. = )

Red simply means the peers you're connected to do not have those red pieces. That it progressively turns red means the peers that you were once connected to had those pieces, but you disconnected from them subsequently (since you didn't need them any more -- you already got the file you were looking for).
