A few newbie questions

[Cybrsk8r]

I have a few questions about the utorrent main screen. Most of the columns are pretty obvious as to what they mean, but I have some questions.

I believe a "PEER" is a person who has some of the file, but not all, and "SEED" is someone who has the whole thing. I'm thinking the first number in these columns is the number of connections I'm making and the number in parenthesis is the total number of clients online. Is this correct?

I want to do my part, so I leave the torrent open after D/L. The ratio column seems to be a ratio of the amount U/L versus D/L. Most of mine are over 2.0 which my research indicates makes me a good person. But what does the next column "Avail." indicate?

I found the menu that limits upload speed. Is it a good idea to limit my upload speed? Comcast has a 250Gb per month limit and I don't want to leave my computer on overnight to finish a D/L and blow thru 50 Gigs of uploads in one night. What is a reasonable upstream limit?

Thanks.

why not read the help file first?

I found what I was looking for. I had to drill quite a ways down thru various help menus to find it.

You see? Answers exist. If you'll practice it, next time it will be shorter.

A reasonable upload limit is one that's far enough below your line's limit to not cause problem.

...And high enough to still be useful to others.
