Seeds are people who have completely downloaded the torrent and are only uploading, and peers are the ones still downloading it. Read More. Seeds are good. Seeds are your friend. A 'LEECH,' also know as a 'peer,' is a person who is downloading a file, but has not yet fully downloaded it. Leeches are bad. Leeches are not your friend hence the name. When a leech finishes downloading a file, they become a seed. When using torrents seeders have the entire item you are downloading while leechers only have a part of the item.
When you are downloading and uploading an item at the same time you are a leecher. Public Domain Torrents has out of copyright movies and Legal Torrents has music videos as well.
This feature is available in uTorrent version 1. You can not change file names and keep seeding with earlier versions of uTorrent. You can use this guide if you move or rename the folder in addition to changing file names. It is possible to change file and folder names because they are not really parts of the files. They are like ''labels'' that tell the computer where to find the content of the files.
After such changes, you need to retarget the files in uTorrent if you want to keep seeding the torrent. The procedure for doing this is the same no matter if the torrent is already loaded in uTorrent, or if you add it as a new torrent. If the torrent is already loaded in uTorrent, right-click it and choose ''Stop'' if it is not already stopped.
If you put the files in the correct locations, you can simply load the. Once it does that, you should resume properly. I think that I will be running the restore in the next week or so and if I have any problems I will post again. I have a question about resuming downloads that went sour. I'm downloading two torrents with multiple files each and at a certain point in the downloading torrent line it appeared de message: ERROR: is a directory.
I've removed the torrent from the download list an tried to reload it, but after making an automatic check returned the same message. Existing user? Retaining restarting torrents. Probably a bug, especially for the stalled torrent in the screenshot with 3 seeds and 1 peer. Does stopping and restarting the torrents help? If that doesn't work, what about stopping and rechecking the torrent?
Are these torrents on a nearly-full storage drive? I was able to get all 4 of them to finish by adding them to Transmission so it likely wasn't an issue with the torrents or the seeders. I've seen this too, over several previous versions, including the current on Linux Mint. I've noticed that this tends to happen if I have an internet outage, but cannot categorically state that this is the only time it happens.
If it's not too much trouble due to lots of active vs queued torrents , please test with Torrent Queueing disabled. I was going to download and try qBittorrent, but after reading this it looks to have the same issue as UTorrent does for me. When adding torrents to uTorrent they sit on 'Connecting to peers' even though they are seeded. This happens to me most days, not for every torrent but on a consistent basis for which I can't account for. Does't happen with my uTorrent
