Bram prefers downloader to leech because BitTorrent's tit-for-tat ensures downloaders also upload and thus do not unfairly qualify as leeches.
In typical client operation the last download pieces arrive more slowly than the others. This is because the faster and more easily accessible pieces should have already been obtained.
In order to prevent the last pieces becoming unobtainable, BitTorrent clients attempt to get the last missing pieces from all of its peers. Upon receiving the last pieces a cancel request command is sent to other peers. Fake [ edit ] A fake torrent is a torrent that does not contain what is specified in its name or description e.
FreeLeech [ edit ] Freeleech means that the download size of the torrent does not count towards your overall ratio, only the uploaded amount on the torrent counts toward your ratio.
Grab [ edit ] A torrent is grabbed when its metadata files have been downloaded. Hash [ edit ] The hash is a string of alphanumeric characters typically hexadecimal in the. Torrent files contain information like the file list, sizes, pieces, etc. Every piece received is first checked against the hash.
If it fails verification, the data is discarded and requested again. Hash checks greatly reduce the chance that invalid data is incorrectly identified as valid by the BitTorrent client, but it is still possible for invalid data to have the same hash value as the valid data and be treated as such. This is known as a hash collision.
Torrent and p2p files typically use bit hashes that are reasonably free from hash collision problems, so the probability of bad data being received and passed on is extraordinarily small. It shows if all pieces of the torrent are available to download i.
Health does not indicate whether the torrent is free of viruses. Hit-and-run [ edit ] To intentionally 'leech' a file; downloading a file while seeding as little as possible.
Index [ edit ] An index is a list of. An index website can also be a tracker. Interested [ edit ] Describes a downloader who wishes to obtain pieces of a file the client has. For example, the uploading client would flag a downloading client as 'interested' if that client did not possess a piece that it did, and wished to obtain it.
Leech [ edit ] Leech has two meanings. The term leech also refers to a peer or peers that has a negative effect on the swarm by having a very poor share ratio, downloading much more than they upload. Leeches may be on asymmetric Internet connections or do not leave their BitTorrent client open to seed the file after their download has completed. However, some leeches intentionally avoid uploading by using modified clients or excessively limiting their upload speed.
Lurker [ edit ] A lurker is a user that only downloads files from the group but does not add new content. It does not necessarily mean that the lurker will not seed. Not to be confused with a leecher. The method is not limited to BitTorrent data. See Magnet URI scheme. Overseeded [ edit ] In private trackers using ratio credit, a torrent is overseeded when its availability is so high that seeders have difficulty finding downloaders.
In other words, each computer is capable of both responding to requests for data and requesting data itself. Peer [ edit ] A peer is one instance of a BitTorrent client running on a computer on the Internet to which other clients connect and transfer data. Depending on context, 'peer' can refer either to any client in the swarm or more specifically to a downloader, a client that has only parts of the file.
Piece [ edit ] This refers to the torrented files being divided up into equal specific sized pieces e. The pieces are distributed in a random fashion among peers in order to optimize trading efficiency.
In such a system, those users with greater amounts of bandwidth, hard drive space particularly seedboxes or idle computer uptime are at a greater advantage to accumulate ratio credits versus those lacking in any one or more of the same resources. Scraping [ edit ] This is when a client sends a request to the tracking server for information about the statistics of the torrent, such as with whom to share the file and how well those other users are sharing.
A peer or downloader becomes a seed when it starts uploading the already downloaded content for other peers to download from. You can also speed up your torrent downloading on clients like qBitTorrent, BitTorrent, uTorrent, etc. But first, you should understand the fact that torrents breathe the uploading done by users.
Whereas, you can keep the download rate 0, as it is considered as maximum. Although, if you do hit and trial with the settings you might get a better result. Leave the upload slot as it is.
