glorious Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Is there any way to increase the peer connections when I'm seeding? My connection seems to be OK, and I can upload some things. But I routinely have 0(4), 0(5), 0(17) peers. Seed/peer ratios are only 2-3, but they sit there forever without uploading. How can I upload more?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 You can't.If there's no demand for your upload, it won't get used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glorious Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Thanks for the reply. I understand, but I thought if there are say, 30 seeds and 15 peers, and I'm one of the seeds, I should be getting some of the upload traffic. At what seed/peer ratio would you say there is not enough demand to expect any seeding?Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Not always.Seed to peer ratios aren't as cut-and-dry a metric for how much upload you do as you seem to be assuming.If the combined upload speed of those seeds is massively greater than the combined download speed of the 15 peers, there's a very real possibility you'll never upload, especially if your client can't accept incoming connections.

glorious Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Thanks. One last question (just a figure of speech). If it says "Connection working" with a green light in the Network pane of Preferences, does that mean I can accept incoming connections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
