Norse10 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 What does the attached screenshot tell me? Downloading a file where those that have 100% seemingly stopped uploading yesterday. The last 24 hours I've gone from 94'ish to 97%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_B Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Have you searched in the help file yet? We have lots of acronyms in the information age. The one that applies here is RTFM. And this is said in full realization of the inadequacies and incompleteness of the supplied document. But please hit F1 first and read up on your program's capabilities.

Norse10 Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Have tried, nothing happends. Even gone into the menu and clicked "BitTorrent Help F1". I know it's available on the nett, but it's not really what I'm asking about I ask what it tells me. As in, are the seeders slacking? Do they have an incredibly low upload rate? Things like that. Is there any way to see what their quota REALY is, not just what they put into preferences? If so, is it possible to let the upload speed reflect their quota? I have no idea about what the different acronyms are except for STFU and ROFL, I seldom use acronyms, not a good habit when writing to someone you don't know.

mike20021969 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 The last 24 hours I've gone from 94'ish to 97%. Private message me a magnet link to the torrent and I'll try it (right click active torrent>Copy Magnet URI, paste it into message).If one person has 100%, you should be able to download the whole thing.

Bill_B Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 If one or more of the seeders is at 100% AND is not already committed to uploading other torrents' pieces to others, you have a better chance to get completion on the torrent you're seeking. I have the sneaking suspicion, without any solid experimental evidence, that some trackers may give some sort of preference when managing the traffic to those stations that are seeding at or near their upload capacity. Imagine a traffic cop in the intersection. Longer gate times may be awarded on the basis of the cop's opinion about who should go and who should stop. As to the local help file, I find that reading and re-reading the glossary section helped quite a bit. I'm not an expert, but it's getting harder and harder to stump me on some topics. your screenshot shows theBitTorrent User Manual > Appendix A: The BitTorrent Interface > Main Window Detailed Info Pane at the peers tab. the help page for the pane has a short list of the prominent tabs including peers. clicking that link takes you to a more detailed information page about the information provided in the peers tab for the selected torrent. Let us know if you are having trouble navigating around in the help file. Mine took at least 20 seconds to load just now while several torrents are being uploaded rate of over 700. If your help access is slow, you may have other system problems not related to bittorrent itself. sorry about the scattershot fontage. I pasted one thing and fonts got unmanageable fast.
