Zhukov Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 When downloading I'll get a reading of something like "8 of 8 connected (69 in swarm". Why can't I connect to more seeds when there are so many? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Because everyone has limited connection slots. There's probably hundreds of peers on that torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 It's not even necessary to connect to all seeds anyway, so this isn't even a speed problem =o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 It would be cheating in fact to connect ONLY to seeds. You'd have no one to upload to, and thus upload nothing while getting the whole torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
