Pierced Musie Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Christ! Couldn't you find a better download? With more seeders than leechers?
Cal Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 I still don't get the whole seeder yoke. But it's OK for now.
Pierced Musie Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Hang on. I'll make a few screencaps for ya and try to explain
Pierced Musie Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Seeder: People who have the complete file and is seeding it to others through a torrent. With torrents, most websites say they would like you to leave the torrent going after it is complete. When you have finished downloading, and leave it going, you become one of the seeders. The more seeders, the faster the download. I remember also downloading something that had 2 seeders & one leecher. I got the download within an hour. Leecher: The people who are downloading the torrent and have the incomplete files. If I remember rightly, by setting your upload limit, you are also uploading what you are downloading, which helps others. Now I could be wrong, but I think that if you have a load more leechers than seeders, it does go slower than usual. This happens with new torrents put up, like newest episodes of shows. Understand? Oh and that image is from mininova, when I searched for the Little Miss Sunshine OST.
Cal Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Oh, it makes sense now! Thanks, Musie. So if there are more seeders than leechers, the DL is quicker?
Pierced Musie Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Yep, in theory. Where did you get your torrent file from?
Cal Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 torrentspy - A pile of crap. It's just full of Porn and stuff. That one in Mininova is coming in really fast, thanks.
Pierced Musie Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 Try mininova & isohunt for torrents. And thepiratebay is also a good one to find good torrents
