Hello, I do not know if this is the right section for this and since I am new here, I was wandering if you could help me out here?

I had a few general questions:

1.) I see:

Seeds Peers

33 (208) 59 (579) can anyone tell me what the numbers in and out of the parenthesis mean?

2.) What are trackers and what do they do?

3.) What and how does ratio and avialble mean?


Thanks, I hope I am not being a pest.

1> connected(suspected to be there)
Before you ask, connecting to more does NOT guarantee you better speeds.

2> Trackers are the primary entry point into a torrent's swarm. It gets you your initial peers to connect to. Forcing updates/announces/whatever it's called in your client does NOT improve your speeds.

3> Ratio is your upload to download ratio. Higher value = more upload than download. 1.0 = you uploaded equal to your download. Availability is the number of unique times 100% of pieces are there. 1.0 = 1 complete copy. 4.99 = 4 complete copies and 99% of a 5th. Availability >=1.0 means that you can complete regardless of the number of peers that are there.
