btw, why are you on super-seed mode when you ain't got the whole download muchspl ? not much point in that.

Super-seed mode is *NOT* recommended for general use. While it does assist in the
wider distribution of rare data, because it limits the selection of pieces a
client can downlad, it also limits the ability of those clients to download data
for pieces they have already partially retrieved. Therefore, super-seed mode is
only recommended for initial seeding servers.

its automatic when I start any torrent because I set it to be, but most shouldn't use ss mode, its for the people that seed files

just distributes it better than normal mode

and the reason no one talks about it is its considered cheating, just seed afterwords
again it works, every computer/every
just do a experiment for your self, start downloading on unlimited, once you get pretty good speeds, say 5-10 minuets, drop it down to dial/up
it will work, its a givin, the only thing I can figure is your doing it on torrent with 1 seed then nothing really you can do

It only works well is there are a lot of people using the torrent and it is very well seeded. Ive gotten speeds of 340 kB with my cable connection when putting my upload at 3k. If i decided to set at at 40k (like i should) then my dl does to about 60 kB. Ive only noticed problems with the "dial up hack" when there are not a lot of people downloading or if the torrent can just been creating and is currently seeding.

I like to get the file as fast as i can copy the file and then set uploads to unlimited until i go to bed or play online games.
