Ok but just forget TL forget BCG forget Public Trackers.

The way Bittorrent works is, as default in Utorrent anyway, you can increase this slightly but your connection will probably fail if you increase it to much.

Its set to 50 connections/peers you can connect to per torrent, and 350 peers/connections globaly over all your torrents.

So just because a torrent has 1000 seeders does not mean your going to get it fast, because you can just connect to 50 of them anyway, and if your downloading/seeding a few torrents all with leechers on them, that 50 goes down even further.

And that doesnt go just for you, but everyone on those torrents, if everyone is seeding 400 torrents from different trackers (just to get Global ratio up) and 20 have peers on them, thats about 38 connections you can have on each torrent, 40 have peers on them, thats 18 connections for each torrent. (seeders and leechers)

And you may just get unlucky and never connect to a fast seeder on the torent/s.

thats why, just because a public torrent has 5000 seeders, you only get it at 20-30KBs because most are capping their uploads, or have far to many torrents in their client, and if your seeding a lot, your connections go down as well, so you get it even slower.

its all a knock on effect, and its the way the Bittorrent Protocol does it, so the same as what happens on a Public tracker, can happen on a Private tracker, the only real difference is, Most Uploaders and initial seeders on Private trackers, have seedboxes, so the chances are you will get it faster, but your not garanteed to.

Edit to add: Thats why somewhere like S*T you will get it blazingly fast 99% of the time, because its virtually a membership requirement to have a Seedbox, on trackers like TL and BCG it is not, and we probably do not have that many seedbox members, which means obviously that speeds are slower, but what do you expect.

Double Edit: this is a poll on BCG from a few weeks ago.

Just asking if members had a SB or a TF account

Always use it, never use home connection 6%
I have one, only use it occasionally. 4%
Used one in the past, would like another 4%
Used 1, did not like it. 1%
Never used 1, but may have to soon. 16%
Never used 1, dont intend to use 1. 69%

over 4,000 members voted as well.

I bet if S*T done the same poll, the outcome would be a hell of a lot different.
