sarahfoxnz Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Hello. Bittorrent 7.9.2. Windows 8 When I am Downloading a torrent, I look at the PEERS area, and see a % (percentage).. Can anyone advise me what this means ? I see the maximum percentage for any given peer is 100%, however i am still downloading that particular file from that specified or other peers. What is 100% of ? When uploading or downloading (any file), i see a SEEDS / PEERS figure. These are not specified as a percentage, but as a straight figure with 3 decimal places. Is this the number of times that particular file has been uploaded to other people ?? Also, secondary question. I understand that i can stop / prevent uploading of a torrent after a certain time / value. can anyone advise what this is called, & how to change it. Basically, so i can stop it after it has been uploaded to other people 10 times (or something), or turn it off so theres no limit on uploads.

Harold Feit Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 100% means they have 100% of all pieces. Just because a peer doesn't have 100%, it doesn't mean the percentage they have necessarily only contains pieces you already have too. That's why you download from others. The ratio/time limits are set in preferences - queueing where you can specify the ratio or time and what happens when that goal is reached.
