Dimpl Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 What is the difference between the max number of connections (A of B connected) and the number of seeds/peers in a swarm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimpl Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Thanks, didn't realise there was a user manual xD - it seems that they are 2 different approximations/measurements of the number of connections (? - 'tracker, DHT, and PEX', then 'tracker scrape').

ciaobaby Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 number of connections Nope, connections are ONLY the peers that your client is communicating with directly. Swarms and tracker counts are simply "possibly" available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimpl Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Nope, connections are ONLY the peers that your client is communicating with directly. Swarms and tracker counts are simply "possibly" available.So does that make the total number of connections the number of peers you have communicated with since uTorrent was opened?

ciaobaby Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Nope.Peers and connections are NOT interchangeable names.And depending on various client settings, ONE peer may have one or more connections to a client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimpl Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I'm not sure I phrased the question very clearly - what does this mean (the number circled in red): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 That is the number of peers that ALL trackers are reporting to your client, this is not especially accurate as the IDs are ones that are cached by trackers and may include some peers counted several times under different IDs.The 'swarm' count (in parenthesis) is the number of peers that are being reported by the tracker scrape to be actively (currently or very recently) serving some, (peer) or all, (seed) of the pieces that make up the payload of that torrent job, as indentified by the info_hash ID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
