How to use utorrent to download/share a file.

Now we're at the next tab, this time we're downloading the file hence it shows how much we've downloaded of the file in the window above. There is 1 seed present while there are 3 seeds overall & 1 peer who's not there at the moment. My swarm in this case would be 3+1+1=5 people. It also tells of the download speed at the moment & how much time estimated time it'll take at the present rate of download.

Now we come to the Peers tab.

All the seeds & peers are shown in this tab (except oneself). In this case I'm downloading from somebody from India (due to the 59. ) IP & he uses 64531 port . For queries on port forwarding look up this article . It also gives things such as the client he uses, flags , now this is interesting one, to put it simply it's like traffic junction signals or railway signals. D here is for Downloading while E is for encryption. again some things would be tackled later on. Percentage, percentage is how much the peer has or seed has, there are occassions when you might be downloading from a peer who doesn't have the whole file but has some bit of it, one starts downloading in the hope that a seed would come sooner rather than later.

Relevance, this one is again interesting. One comes across situations when one has downloaded similar percentage wise but there might be some pieces that I've tht the other peer might not have or vice-versa. In such a case this column provides useful info.

Down speeds , the speed at which one is downloading, up speed happens when one is uploading, peer downloading is when one is uploading & the peer is downloading from more than 1 seed. If one sees constantly a peer downloading more than what one is seeding it means tht there are more seeds/peers from where it's able to download.

A really good start, and should get most people of the starting line... repped .............. but I think it would be really great if you could explain the importance of seeds and peers a little more. If I was a noob, I would not know from this, that a torrent with 1 seed and 2 peers of 300mb could take a year to download.... or a torrent with 2 peers and no seeds may never finish downloading. This relationship is extremely important, and will save a lot of noobs from wasting their time.
Maybe in part 2 you could cover the settings for the "Global maximum number of torrents", and the "Maximum number of connected peers per torrent"
