themoleman Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I am uploading a torrent and I can see that it's mostly being distributed from the back end first (dark blue on the right and barely blue on the left in the availability bar).It's up to 200 peers and I'm the only seed. Would super seed work now even though I've heard mostly negative things about uTorrents super seed mode?I don't want to seed forever... it's a 30GB torrent. Thanks for your insights.

DreadWingKnight Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Super-seed is currently broken in uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodStaindHurricane Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Yeah, if you enable Super-Seed in utorrent, it completely kills your upload speed (0kB/s) on that torrent, or at least, that's what's its done with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themoleman Posted May 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Here's what I've found:====================1) Super seed mode is actually connecting to peers (first time ever for me personally). I'm guessing because there are more peers in the swarm looking for a connection. Usually when I started a torrent and put it in super seed mode, nothing happened.2) Distribution didn't change much. Still %42 availablity. Ah well, will seed normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 BSH: no, that's not the problem with it. the problem with it is you get even worse distribution over normal seeding, and it often stalls at 99.9% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
