Ditto.

When it comes to downloading a torrent, will the file download quicker if there are more seeds and leeches or only 1 or 2 of each?

thanks

With torrents the more seeders teh better. The seeders are the people feeding the file to be downloaded. So having only 1 or 2 seeders only means that 1 or 2 people are uploading the file and the transfer will be slow.

Thank you for the info.

I combined the thread you had in the Windows are with this one. They are both Torrent Related and should be here.

Seeders have the whole file, leeches have parts of the file. Once you start DL'ing you are a leech, once youve finished and are sharing, you are a seed(er), Once you stop and leave, you are a bum....LOL
