voidsurfer Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 This has happened more than once, there are lots of seeds(30+), and peers (150+), but in my swarm of 44 peers, not a single seed and this situations has lasted for 2 days. Our downloading is trickling along at fractions of a kb/s and our "downloaded" vs "available" numbers are virtually identical. This is annoying when we see so many seeds out there, how can I connect to another swarm that has seeders? Is there a way to manually switch swarms? I have lost downloads because they never finished because of this situation, I am talking patiently waiting for over a month for a file and having to give up on it even though it showed seeders out there. Assistance would be greatly appreciated, or if there is a rationale for this condition, that would at least soothe my savage breast somewhat and I could quit sacrificing chickens while performing the curse dance to the swarm gods.

Harold Feit Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 You can't. The swarm is defined by the infohash of the torrent. You can't hop swarms for torrents like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voidsurfer Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Thanks for the info, it helps a little. Know why that happens when you get excluded from seeds? Very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Most likely because the seeds aren't actually there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
