![]() In many cases such trackers have an abundance of seeds and very few incomplete peers. These were introduced in BiglyBT 2.7 and are designed to help with the specific case of private trackers that track the amount of time that a torrent is actively seeding regardless of whether actually uploading or not. This is because for overall swarm speed it is important to transfer pieces (chunks of the files) quickly to other peers as they can't start redistributing the data until the entire piece has been received. The BitTorrent protocol limits the number of peers that can be uploaded to at any given time in order to avoid uploading to lots of peers but individually at a slow speed. If you are connected to lots of incomplete peers and yet you are uploading slowly you might want to increase the number of "upload slots" per torrent, either globally (under Options->Transfer) or on a per-torrent basis via the torrent's options. You can see the assigned seeding rank by hovering your mouse over the 'Status' column or enabling the 'Seeding Rank' column by right-clicking on the table header and selecting 'column setup' Increasing Seeding Speeds Seeds that are not yet scheduled to become active will be shown as 'Queued' Things considered when ranking a seed are, for example, the number of incomplete peers, the download's share ratio and how long it has been actively seeding for. The highest ranked seeds will be activated in preference to lower ranked ones. Seeds are ranked according to the various seeding options and sorted by this rank. In order to limit the resources consumed by BiglyBT it runs a limited number of active seeds (each active seed is consuming memory, cpu and network resources, even when not uploading). ![]() The Seeding Rules are configured under Options->Queue and Options->Queue->Seeding. Once you have read and understood the above you also need to understand the 'seeding rules' within BiglyBT. ![]() One of the most often heard complaints from users is 'why aren't my seeds uploading?'. So even if you are connected to an incomplete peer it might well not bother requesting anything from you as it might be getting all it needs from other seeds. Likewise if there is one incomplete peer and 1000 seeds all trying to upload data to it you will find it hard to upload any data to it as it has the opportunity to grab data from the other 999 as well as you.Īnother thing to note is that as a seeder you can't force your data on another peer, the other peer has to request it. That is, if there are no other incomplete peers then it is impossible to upload. In order to upload data to other peers there have to be other incomplete peers in the swarm (pretty obvious when you think about it). Seeding is the act of uploading data to other peers from a completed download (of course you can/will upload data while downloading as well but this isn't generally referred to as 'seeding')
