It means Total time left to live (or words to that effect)
On some trackers, as soon as the total reaches 0 (from usually 30 days) the torrent gets deleted from the tracker, regardless if there are seeders or leechers on it.
I have personally never really seen the point of the feature, but i suppose for a 0 day tracker where they dont care about longevity and want to keep things up to date, it could be useful.
Or i suppose if it is instead of seeders/leechers, it could be the total number of peers on the torrent (seeders and leechers) but i have never seen it used that way.
thankss stoi(BCG) for reply
The only tracker I cant think of that enforces TTL is TB. If you look at the oldest torrents there, some have 50+ seeders right before they get removed. Most trackers will show TTL but will not enforce it
time to live or time to leech its not really a usless feature as if youre dl a 40gig pack and its only got 1 hour to live you aint gonna get it !! :D plus the time usually starts from a set number and counts down so you know how long the torrent has been avaliable on that particular site :naughty:
Filelist also does that, and its generally pretty bad.
But if there was no total, you could download it anytime, without worrying about it getting deleted.Quote:

21/04/08 = 1 year on the site
TTL = -7790 hours (= about a year if it starts at +30 days)
but the top one is a lot easier to me.
I still dont see the point in it, hence why it was 1 of the first things we took off years ago.
TTL = Time To Live
