BitTorrent Dictionary (By a noob, for noobs!)

what do you mean with that? how well a torrent is seeded? i don't understand it.

The number of full copies of the file available to the client.

what's wrong with that? i think everyone should understand it. you might as well just call it the "number of seeders in the swarm"

i think it's more a client expression than actual bittorrent talk.

instead of asking how available a torrent is, people would just ask "how many seeders?" or "how is it seeded?"

"availibility" could also be understood in a sense of how many trackers list that torrent.

i'm pretty sure when you ask here how available a certain torrent is, people would rather tell you first where to find it and then how well it is seeded.

it's a bit confusing. i recommend not to put in on the list, but it is yours. so do as you please.

p.s. did you get a tl invite?

Yeah, you're right. Availability isn't a very importent term to know.

And no, I don't have a TL invite. I figured I'd have better luck next time they opened invites. I should have better ratio proofs and hopefully some BT rep to show by then.

Bump. Any suggestions?

Bump, still taking suggestions.
