#DELUGE CLIENT KEEPS SEEDING EVEN WHEN UPLOAD IS SET TO 0 DOWNLOAD#

This method greatly increases the speed, because you can download from several peers at the same time and they don't have to wait for a complete download to upload to others. This means you can download pieces of the file from someone who has 100% of the entire file downloaded, but at the same time from someone who has only 1% of it.Д®ach user sharing the same file can contribute, by uploading to you or to other peers () in the swarm (), as long as it has a single piece of the file and you don't have the same piece. This is possible because you don't download a file from a single source and the file is not transmitted in sequence, but broken into several small pieces (). It is popular not only because of availability of all sorts of files, but because of the high speed downloads. Nevertheless, further reading is strongly recommended.Д«itTorrent () is the most popular peer-to-peer () file sharing protocol these days.

So, I will present only the essential information to let you understand the basic concepts and properly configure your Ubuntu box for torrent download. I wish I could explain everything, but then you probably wouldn't read it. I have included several links throughout the tutorial, most of them to Wikipedia articles, which has a lot of good info on torrents. You can check a list of available clients and their respective features here (). Nevertheless, most of the contents of this tutorial can be applied to any client, since the concepts are the same and most clients have the same sort of basic features. I consider Deluge the best BitTorrent () client for Linux and Windows. Nevertheless, I hope you will enjoy torrenting even more after reading this tutorial and I expect to be much easier for you to optimize and troubleshoot your download speeds.ДЇor the purpose of simplifying this tutorial, I will be using Deluge 1.1.9 () as an example when explaining configuration of clients (). In this tutorial I try to explain the basics as simply as possible, but this is not easy to do in a few words, specially for someone like me who doesn't have English as native language. Understanding the technology is essential, in my opinion, to get the best of it. There are many legal uses for the BitTorrent technology, including downloading Ubuntu releases, which helps to distribute the load over Canonical severs, specially the day a new version is released. That's solely the responsibility of the user. The BitTorrent technology is not designed, as many other Internet technologies, to do illegal activities. Warning: I do not support downloading unauthorized content, so any questions related to copyrighted material will be ignored and I will ask a moderator to delete it. But that's another bug entirely.The objective of this thread is to provide a comprehensive list of BitTorrent optimizations and troubleshooting common issues (this is a work in progress). Having an auto-prioritizer would allow Deluge to ensure that I keep seeding as much as possible without having my list of active torrents blocked by torrents without peers.ДЇurthermore, Deluge should display the number of seeds and peers on inactive torrents, which it currently does not, so I could know when to manually move a torrent up to a higher place in the queue.

This effectively stops me from seeding at all. Thus, the 5 active torrents with 0 peers stay at the top of my queue, never reaching the required share ratio to stop seeding, and never letting me move to other torrents that might have peers. However, if the 5 active torrents have no peers, Deluge doesn't check the rest of the torrents for peers, so I'll never even know if the 5 inactive torrents have peers. Thus, 5 of my torrents are sitting beneath my active queue. I use and often have the maximum number of torrents running at one time (say 5) and more than that many torrents queued (say 10). Right now, Deluge does no auto-prioritization. It would be really wonderful if Deluge was able to automatically de-prioritize seeding torrents without peers and prioritize torrents that have peers.

Deluge client keeps seeding even when upload is set to 0
