Dante177 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Well I am trying to download the file named "HOW TO DRAW MANGA" and there are barraly ever any peers who let me download. <_< :( I have been trying to download it for 3 days and I am up to 75.8%. Getting really anctious and wondering if anyone who has that file might let others upload at this moment. And should I disable DHT? And if so, then how?

The UnUsual Suspect Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I see no reason to disable dht from your post. Does your torrent have seeders present? There are many reasons your torrent could be slow. Suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante177 Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 (edited) My torrent is fine. All others work like a charm. Its the peers. Right now 1 conected to me and helped me get about 2%. Its better than nothing. I guess I'll just wait for more to show up. Im up to 78% but the peer who gave me the 2.2% wont give any more. I'm no pro with bitcomet or torrents so is there a way to either directly download some or find peers easily? I'm not sure if peers either come from the whole world or just near you. I live in NY if that matters/ Edit: Now there isn't even one peer! So i can't even begin to download. Man this torrent is taking to long for 220 something MB. The 1GB torrent (ff7) I downloaded took 4 - 5 hours this one isnt done after 3 days! <_< Edited October 27, 2006 by Dark_Shroud (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Shroud Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Look at the health of the .torrent. If it's less than 100% then the .torrent probably won't complete. Are you the only person download? Are there any seeds? I'm betting your .torrent is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante177 Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 There were no seeds, and I knew all u said ^^. Now my download is at 89.6%. A seed came along, sadly he gives like 1-2KB/s . . . <_< It is taking a while but I'm willng to wait as long as that seed does not stop letting me upload.

The UnUsual Suspect Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Although this seed is doin you a favor by uploading, but if you assume there are dozens of peers trying to download, and only he is sending 2kB/s... it could take him days to provide you with complete file/s, and all peers will finish at same time (approx). If he instead seeded just this one torrent for an hour at 50kB/s, then at least one peer could complete, and take over seeding. This is another example of the futile nature of running lots of torrents at the same time. And since your only getting 2kB/s from him, you feel you need to run other torrents, since this one is using so little bandwidth. Therefore one bad peer creates others, and so on... I can only hope that members read such posts as this are avoid being a "bad seeder". Suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
