Utorrent question

[gameranand]

btw i use Torrentz
which torrent search engine u use

Thats better not be asked but what you use is not good IMO. I use others thats are better not be said in public.

Piracy probably wont ever come to an end. Torrents are self sustaining.(like Andromeda strain).

I dont think there is any way to stop torrents. They will only keep on increasing.

Yeah Bram Cohem really revolutionized the piracy.

Actually speaking of features its best but if you want simple user interface and just wanna dl then utorrent is best.

hey in the trackers tab list some of the trackers status is shown as 'scrape ok'?what does it mean?

also for one file the seeds is 85 & peers is 725.i m getting low D/L speeds...
is it bcoz of high peer to seeds ratio??

 

[asingh]

^^
Information being correctly passed to the tracker.

With 85 peers you should get decent. Probably your ISP.

 

[gameranand]

also for one file the seeds is 85 & peers is 725.i m getting low D/L speeds...
is it bcoz of high peer to seeds ratio??

It also depends at what speed your seeders are uploading the content. And also peers are many as compared to seeders.

 

[Zangetsu]

is this scenario possible ???

Seeds: 0(0) Peers: 4(12)

 

[Zangetsu]

guys cud u post the kind of errors u get in trackers list
like i got these
1) offline(timed out)
2) could not connect to host as the target machine actively refused it
3) no hostname found


Q.what is [peer exchange] in trackers list?

Seed to peer ratio is important. Say 10 seeder and 5 leecher, you get good speed. And 20 seeders and 50 leechers your speed will be not so good. Upload speed of peers is also an important factor.

is this scenario possible ???

Seeds: 0(0) Peers: 4(12)

possible, provided after uploading the original uploader just doesn't seed.

Yes this is possible. You will never be able to complete that torrent . Dont bother downloading it .

1) offline(timed out)
2) could not connect to host as the target machine actively refused it

Q.what is [peer exchange] in trackers list?

Those errors occur . Let them be .

Peer Exchange is you are sending data to someone who is downloading and he is sending data to you while you are downloading . Mutual Exchange .

 

[Zangetsu]

Yes this is possible. You will never be able to complete that torrent . Dont bother downloading it .

so that means i m not gonna get the file 100% & also its availablity will be
less than 1

Q.what is [peer exchange] in trackers list?

1. The tracker is not responding. So the data your client is sending to the tracker host is not being recorded.
2. There is an active seeder/peer, but his machine is refusing connections with the protocol.
3. Again a tracker issue.
4. The cumulative totals for seeds and peers.

 

[modder]

so that means i m not gonna get the file 100%

Yes you're gonna/you may get stuck at a certain % *generally* unless someone with 100% completed starts uploading or Peers a+b+c+...+n=!100%

also its availablity will be
less than 1

Start the torrent & you'll see it the 'General' tab. But its not always true. For example follow:

1. A torrent containing say 2 files
2. Seeder A is seeding the the ^torrent

3. Peer B is dl-ing only file no. 1, skipping file no. 2
4. Peer C is dl-ing only file no. 2, skipping file no. 1

5. Peer A>completes dl-ing only file no. 1>50%>seeding>but shown as a peer (not seeder)
6. Peer B>completes dl-ing only file no. 2>50%>seeding>but shown as a peer (not seeder)
7. Seeder A stops seeding/stops the torrent, disappears from the connected/peer list

Stats (before):
1 [Seeds]
2 [Peers]

Stats (after):
0 [Seeds]
2 [Peers]

But availability (after) is still '1' as B+C=100% and they're still seeding but are acting as peers

 

[xtremevicky]

so that means i m not gonna get the file 100% & also its availablity will be
less than 1

Yes . The File wont be able to reach 100 % . You need atleast 1 seeder to complete the file .

 

[gameranand]

Yes this is possible.

True.

You will never be able to complete that torrent

Incorrect. You can download that torrent given the condition that availability of the torrent is more than or equal to 1. And also many times some seeders usually come of that torrent but yes it is not sure, but its incorrect to say that you can't download these torrents.

Yes . The File wont be able to reach 100 % . You need atleast 1 seeder to complete the file .

No you don't need at least one seeder. Say there are 20 pieces and peer no. 1 have 1, 10, 5, 9, 20.
Peer no. 2 have 3, 7, 11, 14, 16, 19.
Peer no. 3 have 2, 4, 6, 8, 13,
Peer no. 4 have 12, 15, 17, 18, 1, 20.
In the above scenario you don't have any seeder but you'll be able to download the files 100% without any problem. Do you disagree???
