Hi list,
I've washed myself, twice. I put on a deoderant. I asked my sig-oth for
feedback, and I simply cannot figure it out.
When I try to download stuff from bit-torrent, I get the same phenomena.
At first I just thought this was because there were better sources
around, but now I'm getting it for a source that it was extremely hard
for me to get peers for, and I can only assume that others are finding
it difficult too (I'm downloading Elephants dream - the new free movie,
in it's highest AVI resolution).
I know what the standard reply is going to be, and it's not it. I opened
a PNAT rule in my firewall, and the bittorrent client is showing a green
light, meaning that other clients CAN connect to me. During the start of
the transfer some actually do, but as my transfer proceeds, so does the
lack of interest.
My logic says it should be the other way around. As my download
proceeds, so should I have more and more chances of having that segment
that other clients are looking for.
My session is currently at 96.8%. My stats show that I have downloaded
749.40MiB, that I know of 26 peers and 428 seeds (maybe this is where
the symptoms come from?), and that, over all, over the past 8 and a half
hours, a total of 8.6MiB were downloaded FROM me. My current upload
stats show that, for over half an hour now, no one was interested.
Now, if I would manage to choke my own ADSL with the download rate I
would simply say "oh, they just have someone better to download from".
That is not the case. It seems that despite the fact that there is more
demand for this feed than supply, my supply is not demanded.
If anyone has an explanation, I would love to hear it.
