sschech Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I'm on version 3.2.3, was also seeing this under version 3.2. I'm using 64 bit Windows 7.Torrent I'm looking at right now:DHT - 85 seedsLocal Peer Discovery - 0 seedsPeer Exchange - 185 seeds4 trackers - two show 0 seeds, other two each showing over 140 seedsActual download - seeds/peers 0.196Download speed - after some tweaks here and there, I'm getting way under 100 kB/s. I have an 8 megabit line at home. No other downloads/uploads currently running.Why is the number of seeds so low? I can't recall exactly but I'm sure in the past I've never seen such a crazy low number on seeds/peers when number of available seeds is so high.Thanks.

DreadWingKnight Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Probably fake seed counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschech Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I could see that if this was an old item but without going into specifics this is something very current and the sort of item that would normally be heavily seeded.

ciaobaby Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 What are the swarm counts for the torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschech Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I don't know what swarms count is or how to get the number.But this is almost beside the point because this is not an isolated incident. I'm seeing this on all torrent downloads in the last couple of weeks - number of seeds is now always 0.x no matter how many seeds are indicated.

ciaobaby Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Swarm counts are often more useful than what trackers report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschech Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Okay, so for this particular one, here are some stats:Seeds/Peers: 0.205DHT - 214 seedsPeer Exchange - 353 seeds, 1598 peersWasted: 100 kB (0 hashfails)Seeds: 5 of 354 connected (167 in swarm)Peers: 64 of 1724 connected (1188 in swarm)Share ratio: 0.966 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 with a ~5:1 ratio of peers to seeds and a and a ~13:1 connected ratio, the down speeds are not going to be great, unless the seeds have a lot of connections and (fast) upload slots per torrent set and/or allow_same_ip is set true which they apparently don't.On the plus side though you DO seem to have plenty of connections and upload slots per torrent available for 64 peer connections to be made to one torrent.
