Once a peer downloads the parts of file he does not have and upload the parts of the file he has, he will them become a seed. The number of seeds and peers is also related to the speed of downloading of the file. If the number of seeds is greater than the downloading speed will be more as the peers will have a greater number of sources to download the file from.
Also, if a person is a peer or a seeder does not remain fixed. A peer after downloading the file will automatically become a seeder. Seeding in the sharing community is greatly encouraged. More seeders will not only contribute to the fast speed of downloading for other people but also makes everything a lot faster for everyone else on the platform.
They may have parts of the file or may have none of the parts of the file. The number of peers greatly affect the speed of downloading of a file. If the number of peers is more than that of the seeds then the downloading speed will decrease as there will be a greater number of people competing for the same bandwidth. The peers can also offset the download bandwidth that they consume as although they are downloading the file, they also upload the parts of the file they already have and other people can download these parts of the file.
This alleviates the consumption of the bandwidth that is provided by the seeders. Seeds are basically copies of the entire file that has been placed so that other downloaders have a source. Peers are the people who are also downloading the file. They may already have portions of the file or none at all. In general, the number of seeds and peers are directly correlated to how fast you can download a file. The more seeds mean that you can download files much faster since you have more sources to concurrently download from.
More peers mean that there are more people who are competing for the bandwidth provided by all the seeders. Although peers may be downloading the file, they may also offset the download bandwidth that they consume because other people can also download the sections of the files that they already have, thereby alleviating the consumption of the bandwidth of the seeders. But as an overall rule, a torrent with more seeders than peers will have better speeds than a torrent with fewer seeders than peers.
Whether a person is a peer or a seeder does not always stay fixed as you become a seeder right after you finish downloading. Seeding is a practice that is greatly encouraged in the file sharing community as it not only allows other people to download, it also makes it a lot faster for everyone else.
Seeds would not really impact you that much as it does not take-up any downstream bandwidth, only the upstream. You can also limit the upstream bandwidth that your torrent software takes so that you do not experience any problem with real-time software like VoIP and online games. Lastly, take note of the copyrights that are associated with the materials that you are downloading. Copyright infringement is a crime punishable by law. If your file is not complete, this might mean that none of the Peers needs any of the pieces you have.
A tracker helps clients to connect to each other and collects data about your swarm. It is basically a "dumb pc" that only knows how to connect your BitTorrent client to other BitTorrent clients that are downloading the same torrent.
An indexer is a website that hosts torrent files for download. So piratebay is an indexer, but not a tracker. So your time and effort wasn't by any means wasted - I'm sure more people find your post very helpful. I don't think that there are no seeders online bcoz the peers ratio is increasing time to time this means the some of other guys who are leeching are able to connect to seed but i am not. My question is what i need to do to connect to seed? Ratio does not increase just because there are seeds in the swarm.
Availability may , not ratio. Ratio is what you get when you divide the amount of data you've uploaded by the amount of data you've downloaded -- it has nothing to do with what other peers there are. Just because a peer is a seed doesn't mean he's faster than any other peer.

Ultima Posted December 3, Switeck Posted December 4, Posted December 4, Ultima Posted December 4, Seeds displays the number of seeds you are connected to, and the number of seeds in the swarm within the parentheses. Posted December 5, I'm still just as confused as ever. I give up. I don't know how much more obvious I can make this.
Ultima Posted December 5, Posted December 6, Ultima Posted December 6, Now that starts to make sense. Switeck Posted December 6, Oh man!
No wonder I get so confused! It's good to know I'm not alone in being a bit "dense" when it comes to this. Serial Posted May 31, Posted May 31, Hopes this helps anyone that is still confused about the numbers. Ultima Posted May 31, Posted February 24, Ultima Posted February 24, Posted June 12, The question posed is: What do the Seed and Peer numbers mean in uTorrent?
First let's do some definitions. Peer: aka leech someone who does not currently have the completed file. I hope this answers all the questions and help folks in the future. One last tidbit: Trackers are Not Web Sites A tracker helps clients to connect to each other and collects data about your swarm. Thanks for your post. But it's been explained Bacatwaca Posted August 9, Posted August 9, Hey Legolad, mind not jewelisheaven's comment.
You post is much needed and appreciated. Kudos form New Zealand! Sriborn2do Posted November 18, Posted November 18, I have a problem and i thought this is right place to ask. The problem is : I am not able to connect any one of the seed 0 2 but i am abie to connect to peers 7
