Connected to Seeds, but none of them actually doing anything

Recommended Posts

I'm having a problem with my torrents. They'll frequently have many seeds and peers, but when I'm downloading, and click on the "Peers" tab, it shows which of the seeds I'm actually downloading from. I'll be connected to anywhere from 20-70 seeds, and yet I only download from maybe 3-7 at a time. The rest just sit there, with a blank in their "download speed" column.

Why am I connected to them if they're useless?

If they're not useless, why can't I get data from them?

What's the point of having thousands of seeds available if you only download from a randomly changing 3 people, at less than 10kBps?

I have my ports forwarded, pay for a 1mbps connection, have nothing else dragging on my connection...

This is the window I'm talking about. If you want to see all of it, it's posted @ http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=120mpv8&s=7. It's sort of cut off, but it says at the top that I'm clearly connected to 46 seeds of 7406, and 20 peers, of 13405. That's connected to 66 people. My speed is 16 kBps. I'm only getting data from THREE people, and uploading to TWO. What the hell gives?

Someone who actually understands this stuff, please - I'm bloody lost, and have no idea why I'm connected without connecting, and downloading without actually downloading much of anything.

Thanks,

Ryuu
