atifa905 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I am new to utorrent and would like to know the difference between seeders and leechers, their functions and how to determine which file to choose from the numbers next to these. Thanks to all that help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celdalo Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Why does uTorrent only have a good connection at night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Because your ISP doesn't filter the bandwidth during the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zybt Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 to cut it short , seed the copy after u have downloaded it, get atleast a share ratio of 1:1 and then u can go as high as u want, then there is no problem , if u dont do that then you are a leecher( share ratio below 1:1 generally) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogly Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 In theory, to ratio 1:1.In practice, following your criteria: torrent rarity, swarm size/request, ratio to keep etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogly Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Yes, many ISP do that to preserve their bandwidth. They allow only HTTP traffic during the day (or some day hours) when the use of their network is very high and during the night all the traffic is allowed.Just ask them.
