Forum Overview :: Rants :: I made a torrent once.

[quote name="Fussbett"][quote name="Zseni"]before you come at me all "<i>buh</i>, any torrent with 81 peers already has a full copy...somewhere in there..." Also, it wasn't 81 peers and two seeders, it was 81 peers and the first two to complete bailed, leaving 81 peers and 1 seed. That's half as many seeds as your ivory tower fantasia.[/quote] Because of BT's penchant for non-linear downloading, 81 peers and one completed download means there are probably 3 distributed copies. Or 14. This is why I'm failing to weep for the loss of one or even two seeds. Maybe I'm not understanding the petri dish here, but all 81 leechers should be enjoying high download speeds despite having only one saintly seeder. [quote]Anyway it's obvious this is a totally academic exercise for you and you really just don't give a shit about other people's feelings[/quote] Well there's the breakdown of it all: I'm just using a computer program that uploads for me, and you're doing people a favour.[/quote]
