The amount of seeders are the number of people that have the complete download and are uploading it for you to download. The only way to get more seeders is to get more people to download it in the first place.
It also is dependant on the connection speed of the uploader (seed). I've had torrents max out my connection with only 1 seed. Of course the size of the swarm helps as well

BT Infinity and weird download speeds

Greetings!
This is the first time I've been with BT, I always had virgin media then when I moved out I was forced to go with Sky for my broadband which they could only manage 3-4mb. I've recently had BT infinity installed (3-4 weeks now) and I'm not sure what to make of it.
Although Sky's download speed was lower, I seemed to get more out of it. In the way of I can see on speedtest.net and speedtester.bt that my ping is low (15ms) and my speed is often between 30-35mb (funnily enough tonight it's sitting at 25mb) however p2p traffic is slow (yes I know it's throttled) but even over Internet explorer it's slow. If I was download a file, say a windows update or a patch for a game with sky I would get a constant 1-2mb download speed with bt it never goes over 200-300kb. Surely this can't be normal?
I may give BT a ring but due to work hours it'll most likely be on the weekend now. Just seems strange that everything points to a decent download speed but when it actually comes to downloading it's pretty slow.
Thanks in advance for any tips/help/suggestions.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. At present I have my laptop done over wireless using a b/g/n/ adapter. To be honest I have yet to try and connect my laptop directly to the router as this kinda defeats the point? I'm assuming you're thinking along the lines of I should get faster download speeds over a wired connection, which i agree with. But, surely 300kb is still low on a 40mb connection?
I'm in work at the moment so can't check out the test results. But will post them later.
Thanks,

BT Infinity Torrent Downloads?

Hi, just wondering how good BT infinity is at downloading torrents, (for example what speed would it typically get up to?) Because my current BT Internet is just awful.
Any help is appreciated.

so far, it appears o.k., mind you i only download .iso's for testing & i'm getting approx 2-3mb/s just really depends on the seeding servers really
free your computer, use opensource
i'm a linux user & very happy about it

It does sound like you downloaded the Windows version. OS X doesn't know what to do with file and just opens it up in Text. You can download the Mac version directly from C/NET - Download.com:

Bit Torrent vs P2P?

What is the difference between bit torrent and P2P? EG Acqlite and FrostWire are P2P apps, while Tomato Torrent and Transmission are bit torrent apps.
Do these apps work with iTunes?
I'm just totally ignorant about these things.
Thx!

Practically speaking, how do they differ?
OK, let's try this again. There is no "difference" between BitTorrent and P2P. It's like you're asking what the difference is between a Corvette and a car. The former is an example of the latter. BitTorrent is P2P; it's one of many P2P networks. And you access them via an appropriate P2P client, one that accesses that particular network, be it BitTorrent, Kazaa, Gnutella, Limewire, etc.
If you're asking how BitTorrent, Limewire, Kazaa et al differ, that's really not an appropriate subject for this forum which is for questions about iTunes, and would take a major article to really get into.
If they can't be used with iTunes or QT, how does one use them?
All such P2P systems are just file sharing networks; those files may be software, pictures, music, videos, text documents, or other types of files. So the network has nothing directly to do with iTunes, QuickTime or any other application, per se, though the content you download may open in such an application.
As to how you find files, that's not easy. A P2P application may have a search built in, or you may need to find a "tracker" site. Any legitimate provider of content that is distributing via any P2P network (very rare) should tell you how to download their content. The vast majority of content, particularly media (music, videos, movies) on P2P networks is pirated. Plus P2P networks are a major vector for malware writers to distribute their attacks. Note as well that by default, many P2P applications also set up a file share on your own computer, making your computer a download source to others which can impact the security and performance of your system as well as having possible implications for any data transfer limits that might be imposed by your Internet service provider. So use any P2P network application with great caution, understanding that you're doing so at your own risk.
I hope this clears things up.

BT Infinity and online gaming - has BT changed tra...

We use our internet a great deal for online gaming and a few months ago on our old ISP games started to become unplayable due to extremely slow response times. After a great deal of investigation I discovered the reason for this...
Some ISPs examine the sort of data being transferred and when they think the data is Peer-To-Peer traffic they place this in a low-priority queue. Historically, most people didn't care as 99% of P2P traffic was illegal file-sharing.
BUT, online games are increasingly making use of data packet formats that 'look' like P2P traffic. The gaming data is incorrectly identified as being P2P file-sharing and placed in a low priority queue. This makes online gaming, where responses need to be made in fractions of seconds impossible - you often just stand still for 5 seconds while the rest of the world moves on.
This is what happened with our old ISP and why we looked around for a new provider. Infinity recently came to our area and while browsing the Infinity information on the BT site I was asked if I wanted to speak to a customer service rep. I wasn't expecting a very helpful discussion, but figured it couldn't do any harm to ask a very specific question: "Do you perform traffic-shaping on P2P traffic?" - the rep went away to find out and then responded "BT never shape P2P traffic". (I have screenshots of this conversation as it formed the basis of my decision to subscribe to Infinity).
Flash forward a month. We have Infinity and have been very pleased with it ..until tonight when the same problems started again.
Several speed-test sites report pings about 20ms, download speeds of 30-40mpbs - all very nice, same it has been for the past month.
BUT, tonight all online gaming has ground to a halt.
Typical pings reported in games like World of Warcraft have gone from 50-100ms to about 3000-5000s.
Online chatter is FULL of people asking if anyone else is having problems; and yes, the ones I've spoken to are all on BT.
So -
Have BT changed their policy ?
Are they now aggressively shaping traffic it thinks is P2P-related ?
Are the problems tonight related to a temporary glitch or a permanent change in policy ?
I'd really like to know as I've still got proof of BT's answer to a direct and specific question about this sort of policy and if it's changed will need to change ISPs and reclaim setup costs.
Any information from anyone who knows about this would be most welcome.

Hi ge1971,

Infinity and online gaming

Hello
I am relativly new to infinity and was wondering if anyone could tell me why its so bad for online gaming?
My download speeds are virtually always 37.5mb download and between 8 - 9mb upload although upload drops sometmimes to slightly lower

however i always get loads of lag when playing on xbox live, to the point it is not worth playing, it gets worse than when I was on normal copper wire broadband.
I have also noticed that there is quite a delay before web pages open when browsing the internet in general, my ping used to be pretty consistent at around 17 - 20ms before I switched to infininty but now seems to jump around lot even going as high as 300ms on occasion.
my line profile seems to have set at 38.10mb which I am happy with, and the engineer who installed my infinity said that my line stats were excellent.
all this said then why do i seem to be suffering when using xbox live??

Hi Cameron
No I have been trying it with the wireless disabled, although on our old connection this wasnt an issues, myself and my son could both use our xboxs together on the one connection and still it was better than at presen
I didnt have the cable in the gigabyte port, I have now though, what does this port do?
Yes port forwarding set to xbox live

Problem with torrent-downloading, dont start!?

I have a problem with my Transmission (torrent-downloading), it dont start to download any file. My friends has tried the same torrents-file and with no problems. I havnt had this problem before, it just started recently. I have tried BitTorrent to check if its something was wrong with Transmission but it didnt start either to download (BitTorrent say, "Checking for firewall..").
So have I change some preferences in Mac OS X or somewhere else that make this problems with torrens-download?

Apple Discussions does not condone the use of torrent downloading, usually for pirated software. Therefore, you will not get any help on this forum.
 Cheers, Tom

Installing a Torrent Download of Mac OS X 10.4 - does it work? Is it safe?

Does anyone know about Torrent Downloads? The service is not free, so I want to be sure it's alright before signing up. I want to upgrade my Panther OS to Tiger. I have a 30GB hard drive. I also have a DVD drive.

Kiraly wrote: Leopard won't work for the The OP. He has a G3; Tiger is the end of the line for him.
Maybe I wasn't clear. I wasn't suggesting he install Leopard, I was simply making the case that since Leopard is available from Apple Phone Sales, Tiger might still be, as well. But he needs to try Apple Phone Sales UK (assuming that exists.) But thanks for pointing that out, in case it led him to believe he could install Leopard.

I'd be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and think that perhaps he wasn't considering, or even aware of, the legal implications. I think a lot of people simply don't realize what this means and his post was possibly completely innocent. (It sounded that way to me.)

Any thoughts on Infinity and Windows 8?

Hi,
I have just installed Windows 8 64bit Pro OEM. I dont really like it at all, I first installed a software for a original Start menu key which was missing and I find very frustrating without, but I got that sorted eventually and now I am just finding my way around but very frustrated! I have tested speeds with Infinity and it does seem to be down on the download by about 300 - 400Kbps, upload speeds the same as 7, it seems also the loading times on google chrome, is what I use, seems to be hanging quit badly. I'm not likeing it at all and I'm thinking of going back to Windows 7. I just wanted to know how others got on?. Thanks.

A good RSS reader with auto torrent download capability?

I'm creating a torrent download box using deluge. The problem is, deluge doesn't seem to have its RSS plugin built into it anymore, but it does support auto downloading by putting torrents in a folder that deluge will watch. I now just need an RSS program to download the torrents from an RSS feed with support for regular expressions. Does anyone have any good ideas?
I would prefer not to use ktorrent at all, although even when I tried testing it out, I couldn't find its RSS capabilities.

Yes, you can. The Arch Wiki doesn't have a guide on cron, but the Ubuntu Wiki has a guide here that should help you.
If this is a machine with low specs, you could get by with rtorrent. The only reason I don't use rtorrent day-to-day is because I'm not smart enough to figure out how to limit connections. You could use rtorrent + rssdler and be just fine.

Plz Recommend an "Automatic" Torrent Downloader for Mac/OSX Yosemite

Hello. I was hoping somebody could please recommend an "Automatic" Torrent Downloader for Mac/OSX Yosemite..
I know that there are a few options out there, but most of them seem to be directed towards TV Shows.. which isn't a problem, but I was hoping for one that could be used for pretty much anything.. like applications, music, movies, TV shows, ****, whatever..
Basically, something where you could enter a "keyword" or "artist", for example, and have it automatically add whatever new torrents come up in whatever specific parameters you set (so you could basically set a music artist's name, for example, and specify music only, so that it's not downloading every video, image, or whatever that also contains that "keyword")..
Does something like this exist for Mac/OS X Yosemite? Would really love a recommendations! Thank you!

Wrt54gs AND TORRENTS problem

I just went from a d-link router to a Linksys wrt54gs. Before the light on bit torrent when downloading was always green now with the new router it is staying yellow and the download is real slow. I also have a game adapter WGA54G hooked uo to a xbox 360 which downloads the demos super fast. How do i get the yellow light to go to green????

try and adjust the MTU on the router ....start at 1492 and if necessary go to 1200...
have you forwarded the ports required by torrents on the router ?
