Hi,

Do you guys know why this happen to my version of BitComet 0.70?

Among the 3 downloading, the other 2 have less Seed/Peer but have 20kpbs download but unfortunately the most seed/peer only have 1kbps.

Thanks in advance.

More information would be useful, but it’s not the sheer number of seeds and peers that counts. It’s the connectivity. You must view the swarm as an aggregate, and its activity holistically. Everyone is exchanging as much as they have, as fast as they can. If they don’t have much, or their connections to you are quite congested, or both, then this is going to be a slow download.

Thanks for the useful information.

Please also understand that peers that run multiple torrents are usually not good uploaders. In fact running multiple torrents is the main reason torrents run slow.

Most users have a very limited upload speed, so when that is divided among several peers, then again divided among several torrents, no one gets any worthwhile speed from you.

Unless you have a very high upload speed, you really should limit your torrents to one at a time.
