How to interpret Seed/Peer[all] column?

During downloading, for example, if the Seed/Peer[all] contains 2/100[4/250], what do the numbers mean?

When we are seeding is the Seed/Peer[all] always start with 0, as in 0/100[2/500]? what do the numbers mean?

Thanks!

You are connected to 2 seeders

You are connected to 100 leechers

There are 4 seeders in the swarm

What does it mean that there are 4 seeders in the swarm? Since I am connected to 2 seeders, does it mean that the other 2 are offline(task has been stopped)? Are they all performing seeding at that moment?

Thanks Kluelos!

the other seeders are connected to other peers.

Here is a good link to explain as much, or as little as you want to know about bit torrent protocall…

do some reading about how it works, then ask about what you don’t understand.
