BitTorrent etiquette dictates that once you've downloaded files, you also seed them to help others' downloads go quickly. If you need to move or rename your download, everything's thrown off. Reader Jake Champion explains how to seed after moving or renaming files.
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. On the following pages, we'll not only show you how to get the most out of uTorrent, but out of BitTorrent in general.
We'll cover both basic and advanced tips, and then toss in some of our favorite third-party add-ons for good measure. Whether you're new to BitTorrent or a seasoned vet, there's something in this guide for you. Before diving head first into the world of BitTorrent, take some time to familiarize yourself with the protocol's language. For example, do you know the difference between a tracker and a leecher?
Why are leechers frowned upon, and how can you avoid becoming one? These are just some of the terms you'll need to know as you traverse the BitTorrent universe. Here's your handy cheat sheet:. Torrent: Lazy linguists sometimes substitute Torrent in place of BitTorrent, but it actually has a definition all its own.
A torrent is a small metadata file usually just a few kilobytes in size. It contains information about the file s you're trying to download, such as file names, file sizes, where to download, and so forth.
The torrent file. Peer : Any other computer on the Internet which is both downloading and uploading portions of a file at the same time. Leech er : There are two meanings for this one. The most common definition of a leech is someone who disconnects and stops sharing a file as soon as they've obtained a complete copy.
The fewer people there are sharing a file, the longer it takes to download, and for this reason, leeching is highly discouraged. Peers who haven't finished downloading a file are also referred to as leechers, but not necessarily in a derogatory way.
Seed er : It's good etiquette to continue sharing a file even after you've finished downloading the entire torrent, if only for a short while. This practice is known as seeding.
Reseed: When no more seeds exist for a particular file, then anyone who was actively trying to download it will be unable to finish. A reseeder is someone who has the completed torrent, reconnects to the swarm, and saves the day. This includes peers, seeds, and leeches. Tracker: A central server which stores the torrents, coordinates the action of all the seeders, peers, and leechers, and manages the connections.
The Pirate Bay TPB is the largest tracker on the Internet and often the center of media attention due to ongoing legal issues. Not all trackers are public; there are several private trackers which require a membership.
A share rating of 1. Not everyone uses BitTorrent for, ahem, legitimate reasons, and for them, there are plenty of less scrupulous tracking sites littered all over the Web.
