A peer in uTorrent is simply someone that has the file on their computer and is letting you leech off of them.

Added by Krofs:

There are two meanings to "peer"

  1. Those who have less than 100% of the content associated with the torrent. They download from seeds and other peers and upload to other peers. (Most bittorrent clients use the term this way).
  2. All of those active on a torrent, i.e., those who have 100% and those who have less than 100%. (Most torrent search sites use this definition).

uTorrent uses definition 1 for peers.

The people that are seeding/leeching

Leeching: People that are downloading....not good

Seeding: People that are uploading....very good

You want alot of seeders and not so many leechers

Example

Seeds: 47 Leechers: 62

It will be a slow download

Seeds: 192751 Leechers: 2546

FASTT

Seeding: User's that have the complete file and are sharing it will other on line user's constantly.

Leeching: User's that have downloaded the file 100% but then immediately remove and this is done repeatedly for every file they download.

Peers: User's that are downloading the file but sharing what they have downloaded.

Advise:

The more seeds and less leechers you have on a torrent file, the faster it will download.

Reason: Because you have more user's that are sharing the file.

The more leechers you have more than seeders, the slower the download will be.

Reason: Because you have more people deleting the file after it is downloaded, which will prevent others from downloading a share from it,

What is the most popular torrent downloader in the world?

uTorrent is the most popular torrent downloader. It provides very fast speeds, reliable connections and a clean interface. uTorrent has adjustable download speeds, it inspects the files coming down, and displays detailed information about how it is connecting to peers. Torrentz is a website which finds torrents. When someone searches for an item in that page, Torrentz will generates a list of trackers. Copying those trackers into uTorrent (via the uTorrent link) will add many more peers to connect to and download from.

How do you stop leechers on bit torrent?

Here is an idea I read, does not block leechers but slows them down, click on the torrent you are uploading go to props and tick initial seeding then ok.From what I have read utorrent then seeds evenly to the peers, so if you have some peers that are 90%+ and will soon leg it, then they are put on hold (sort of) and utorrent seeds to the low % peers.Try it and watch the peers.ORYou can get an invite to almost all torrent sites here: http://www.torrentauction.com


Does uploading speed affect the downloading speed on utorrent?

Yes. There are two principles involved. 1. The more upload your uTorrent gives out, the more download it will receive back from other peers. 2. If upload in uTorrent is set too high, or to unlimited, download speeds will suffer as needed communications (resend requests, acknowledgment signals etc.) will not be able to get through. The general rule is to cap upload in uTorrent to 80% of the upload capacity of your internet connection. This will give out maximum upload while leaving room for the communications.
