For a faster torrent download will it be better to have more seeders then leechers?

Answer 1

Not necessarily. It also depends on the internet connection each of those people has, their computer speeds, and where they are based.

Answer 2

More seeders means more resources...
Seeders are the owner of the data or the one who downloaded it already and giving it away..they are the most important of all...without it your download will not continue..you need 1 seeder to download all of the data!

Leechers...well they help little but they boost some resource!
The priority of a leecher is his download speed..so if his/her download speed is maxed out..then the upload speed will decrease same thing happens to you...But it depends on their connection anyway... they are slow

the more the leecher and the seeder the faster the speed!
So the priority is the seeders for resources..

if there are seeders go download it when you have the chance..if not it will go dead or maybe delayed...

Answer 3

Yes, if you have lots of seeders and only a couple leechers, the download will be faster because you have, say, 2 people downloading off of 50 people. If you have more leechers than seeders, you will have, say, 20 people downloading from 5 people. You can see the bottleneck that happens.

Answer 4

well you have online a finite amount of upstream and downstream, if you allow more people to suck on your upstream bandwidth then that DOES limit your ability to download. So throttle down the available number of leechers, and the amount of bandwidth you are willing to give them to increase your download speed. This does however work both ways..so people on the other end might be throttling you..

Answer 5

the more seeders the better. it also depends on their upstream and your available downstream.

Answer 6

the real speed problem is people not opening their ports to allow a proper connection.
