![]() These rules generally vary from private site to private site (i.e. If a user falls below the designated share ratio standard, that user can risk being restricted or banned from the tracker and/or website. Naturally, if a user downloads 10MB of data and uploads 20MB of data, the user will have a ratio of 2.00. ![]() However, if a user downloads 10MB of data and uploads only 5MB of data, the user will only have a share ratio of 0.50. If a user downloads 10MB of data and uploads 10MB of data (whether it’s with a single torrent or across a series of torrents associated with that tracker), then the user will have a share ratio of 1.00. This means that you have to upload a certain percentage of what you download. The most famous of these rules is maintaining a general share ratio. Private trackers also usually operate under strict rules. DHT is also disabled amongst most (if not, all) of these trackers, so if the tracker goes down, there typically isn’t a backup mechanism in place. Private trackers are basically like gated communities and typically requires membership to an associated website. Public trackers can be accessed by anyone with a compatible torrent client. There are two kinds of trackers that one should be aware of though: public and private trackers. Some clients utilize what is known as DHT which can help peers find other peers and seeders in the event a tracker goes down. Generally speaking, a tracker helps maintain the swarms. ![]() In many instances, these swarms are governed by a web application called a “tracker”. Peers (or leechers) are users in the swarm that have part of the file (whether still downloading or actively only sharing parts of the whole torrent). Seeders are users sharing everything in the torrent. There are generally two types of users in each swarm: seeders and peers/leechers. These small networks are called “swarms”. BitTorrent, on the other hand, generates a network for each individual torrent. Traditional file-sharing networks have users connect to one large network and search through it to find the files you are looking for. BitTorrent can be considered a network, but in practice, it is actually a series of small networks. In this guide, we will show you the basics of using uTorrent. BitTorrent is a popular file-sharing medium for users.
