Bittorrent Question...

[Mike Nelson]

I've been using BT for a while now and have just noticed on some of my larger dloads that only a very small part of the file is given out and as the download progresses and evryone in the "swarm" gets to that amount then another little bit is added...

I think this is a great idea as it ensures that there are no hit and run leechers in the torrent (takes a little longer though).

I'm just wondering if anyone else has encountered this, is it a new client or am I hopelessly behind on current BT news! :lol:

Cheers.

The4 original seeder was probably using a method called "Super-Seeding", which basically ensures that the file gets well spread.

Hi,

That is the beauty of Bittorrent,
