Do the seeds in the first case just turn off their clients? Does the tracker decide to go quiet? This happens frequently. Tell me it isn't so. Conversely, sometimes when I've had files ready to download, there's no downloading taking place even though there are peers waiting. Same issue? Sorry to say, but there are many selfish and mean people.. Also you might have no connected peers to get files from. But I never understood: why are users presented as "seeds" when they're not seeding?
Why an 0 2 , for example? Is this a longstanding convention? What then differentiates a seed from a peer? I appreciate the mini-tutorial. I currently have only 1 download taking place, it's an old TV miniseries called Holocaust. I show 7 11 seeds and 2 13 peers.

I had the problem. The cause was the client being unauthorized. Adrien H Adrien H 1 1 silver badge 5 5 bronze badges. Most useful for me. Thanks — Valentyn Hruzytskyi. Perhaps my isp is blocking ? I understand that this is common port for torrenting? That is a very good possibility. Or perhaps you're in a NATed network where something else is using the external port, making you unreachable to the outside world? Many possibilities.

Once you have enabled all the options you want click Add to start your downloading. The Options window will disappear leaving only the Transmission main window.
Within the Transmission main window you will see your download progress. You can then select the download and click Pause to temporarily halt the download or you can remove the download. You can even close out transmission and, upon reopening the application the download will resume. Once the torrent is complete you will receive a notice it has finished.
Once the download has complete, if you leave Transmission open, you will begin seeding other torrents. By seeding torrents your machine will be used so that others can torrent from you.
If you have a problem with this you should close Transmission immediately. Out of the box, Transmission works like a champ. But there might be some tweaks you'll need for your particular set up. If you go to the Edit menu you will see the Preferences entry.
Click that to get to the the preferences goodies. One of the more important preferences is the Block List found under the Peers tab.
This blocklist is a Blutack Level 1 Blocklist. There are many more options to get into, the blocklist should be the first you take care of. In the case of a single file, you have to select that torrent file on your hard disk when prompted to provide a save location. In torrenting several files or a folder, all you do is select the specific folder containing the torrent files whenever you are prompted to a save location.
It then contacts the tracker to indicate the information. Some of the torrent site clients use color-coding to show the status of a torrent. By default, most torrents immediately go green after seeding.
Most torrents will go green when others start downloading the torrent files that you have uploaded. This rarely happens when you initially start seeding a torrent.
This is because no other user has downloaded a torrent file from you yet. Below are useful guidelines to keep in mind:. It would be pretty irresponsible of us to talk about torrenting in without really addressing the issue of online security and privacy. Violating the laws in these places can have severe financial or even criminal consequences. For that reason, we highly recommend you use a VPN Virtual Private Network , which will help to hide your true location.
This is done by spoofing your IP address, meaning you can use an IP address from a location anywhere in the world depending on the VPN service you use. This helps you to use a private tracker to seed and download torrents on your private tracker. As earlier said, it is important to seed one to one. First, it helps with the speed of download.
The more seeders there are on a torrent, the faster the download of the torrent. This happens because you are not downloading the torrent from the actual torrenting site. Instead, you are downloading from another user that has the downloaded torrent file on their computer. The factor of faster downloading speeds is sequential and benefits those who download the torrents from other users.
When the torrent upload is complete, each leecher will try and get the torrent file from the uploader. That means that if there are 10 leechers, then each of them will be downloading at a speed of 10kbps. The 10 leechers will soon finish downloading the torrent file.
Each will also be seeding at kbps, the same as that of the initial uploader. This translates to a download speed of kbps. The chain goes on. If 11 more leechers wish to download the torrent file, they will be downloading the file at a speed of approximately kbps.
This indicates a faster speed compared to the 10kbps for the initial downloaders. This is because there is a ratio of one to one per seeder and leecher. This is the importance of seeding.
