Also, when a new torrent is posted to a tracker, someone must seed it in order for it to be available to others.
Remember, the tracker doesn't know anything of the actual contents of a file, so it's important to follow through and seed a file if you upload the torrent to a tracker. When there are zero seeds for a given torrent and not enough peers to have a distributed copy , then eventually all the peers will get stuck with an incomplete file, since no one in the swarm has the missing pieces.
When this happens, someone with a complete file a seed must connect to the swarm so that those missing pieces can be transferred. This is called reseeding. Usually a request for a reseed comes with an implicit promise that the requester will leave his or her client open for some time period after finishing to add longevity to the torrent in return for the kind soul reseeding the file.
The group of machines that are collectively connected for a particular file. For example, if you start a BitTorrent client and it tells you that you're connected to 10 peers and 3 seeds, then the swarm consists of you and those 13 other people.
A server on the Internet that acts to coordinate the action of BitTorrent clients. When you open a torrent, your machine contacts the tracker and asks for a list of peers to contact.
Periodically throughout the transfer, your machine will check in with the tracker, telling it how much you've downloaded and uploaded, how much you have left before finishing, and the state you're in starting, finished download, stopping.
If a tracker is down and you try to open a torrent, you will be unable to connect. If a tracker goes down during a torrent i. Often tracker errors are temporary, so the best thing to do is just wait and leave the client open to continue trying. There's no reason to stop them just to do that. Like torrero said, it is best and customary to upload at least to ratio. Beyond that, it's up to you if you can spare the bandwidth.
And in the long run, that will "waste" lots of bandwidth with failed torrents. If you have to, you can stop or pause a seeding torrent for awhile and restart it later. It's better for others to seed when there's NEED no other seeds than when there's lots of seeds. So if you need to choose, stop the seeding torrents that have the most seeds and highest availability between all the peers first.
At that speed, it's painful. The 2nd link in my signature tells decent settings to avoid that while still allowing a semi-reasonable number of torrents running at once.
Techopedia Explains Seed. What Does Seed Mean? A leech, on the other hand, is a BitTorrent user who downloads the files shared by the seeds and does not seed back to other users. The download time for a file shared via BitTorrent depends on the number of seeders available for that file; more seeders mean higher torrent speed. Techopedia Explains Seed In addition to seeders and leechers, there are peers who are users downloading a file, have part of it, yet are simultaneously uploading the downloaded part to other users.
Even though the peers share back the files simultaneously, the actual torrent speed mainly depends on the number of seeders available for the shared file.
For example, assume that a seed is seeding a file at 50 kbps, and there are five leechers to download that file. Initially, the file is shared at 10 kbps each for every leech. When the leechers finish downloading, and if they seed back the file at the same speed of 50 kbps, the total torrent speed increases to kbps. This process continues depending on the number of seeders and leechers for that specific file. On the contrary, if the leechers decide not to seed the file after completely downloading it, the original seeder is stuck as the only one seeding the file.
This means that whenever you download files from torrent, some other user from any part of the world is uploading that very file at the same time at which you are downloading it. So when you are seeding a file, it means that someone is being able to download it. Yup, seeding is safe as per my knowledge. You are just uploding the files which you have downloaded. Beware of data use, as seeding is and infinite process.
You are acting as server for whoever wants to download the file. Yes, if your internet is 4mbps and you upload is unlimited for seeding,the person with 1mbps gets the whole speed of his torrent from you. Also the larger the file, the more seeders they should have. As a general rule, seeding a file for a few days is probably fine, but again it can vary. The term seeding and related terms such as seeded are used in many different several contexts: Sowing, planting seeds in a place or on an object.
Cloud seeding, manipulating cloud formations. Seeding computing , a concept in computing and peer-to-peer file sharing. The term was first used in tennis, and is based on the idea of laying out a tournament ladder by arranging slips of paper with the names of players on them the way seeds or seedlings are arranged in a garden: smaller plants up front, larger ones behind. The population for seeding to end varies server by server and so does the rules.
