Neru Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 How does the availability and percentages-complete work out when I have selected "don't download" on, say, all but one file in a torrent (let us call this "File X")?More specifically - When I click the list of peers, and see % beside each peer, is that how many percent of File X *they* have downloaded, or how many percent of entire torrent they have downloaded? Also, how do other peers see my %? Do they see my percentage as how much I have of file X, or do they see my percentage as how many % of the entire torrent I have downloaded? Same with availability - Is this affected by what files I have selected to download/skip?Ta.
DreadWingKnight Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 It's all calculated based on the entire torrent, not your selection in it.
Neru Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Posted October 24, 2011 It's all calculated based on the entire torrent, not your selection in it.So if I am trying to get one file from a rather large torrent with non-ideal availabilities - I might still get that file even though availability is <1 ?
ktetch Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 If you turn on the 'relevance' column, you will see which peers have data you want, because their value will be grater than 0.0. The value will be a percentage of the overall torrent you are interested in. So if there are 20 identical size files in the torrent, and you want one, a seeder will have a 'relevance' of 5.0 to start with, as would any peer with 100% of that file. As you get more of that file, the amount will decrease until you get all of it.
Neru Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Posted October 25, 2011 If you turn on the 'relevance' column, you will see which peers have data you want (...)Will I see how relevant I am to other peers (and visa versa), or is such information not shared?
Neru Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Posted November 2, 2011 What is up with peers with higher percentages than me with upload speeds varying between 0.0 and 0.1 KB/s, then? If percentages are of the entire file, I mean - They should have stuff that other peers lack.It is not connection problems as far as I know, because I have uploaded to them at normal speeds, I just do not get to download anything.
