Does transmission torrent seed when downloading

I'm currently trying to download AN UNNAMED TORRENT. I WILL MAKE NO REMOTE REFERENCE TO WHAT THIS TORRENT COULD POSSIBLY BE, SO THE MODS WON'T REMOVE MY POST FOR A THIRD TIME. I started off using Vuze. Vuze says it's connected to 1/1 seeds and 2/4 peers. Then I tried uTorrent, which says it's connected to 0/3 seeds and 1/4 bltadwin.rug: transmission. Yes definitely. Torrent is a peer-to-peer technology which means all of those people who have that file will keep seeding even after you’ve stopped. Do note that if you have created a torrent file yourself, and you want people to download it, then you will have to seed it until more seeders are added to bltadwin.rug: transmission. Users find a torrent of interest on a torrent index site or by using a search engine built into the client, download it, and open it with a BitTorrent client. The client connects to the tracker(s) or seeds specified in the torrent file, from which it receives a list of seeds .

Yes, follow option B. in OP. @Igor/ all. I been wanting to do this also, but I am getting up to speed with qemu and insuring the box (or virtual box) will only connect to internet via VPN (I do not connect to Internet otherwise, and this is much easier to manage "in person" / on desktop than it is headless / on a server or VM running all the time -- otherwise I would already be doing so). Answer (1 of 4): Yes. It consumes data. Unknowingly, I uploaded GB data. I was suspecting someone hacked my wifi, later I realized, torrent is culprit. If everybody wanted to download a torrent file from one uploader, there would be congestion when downloading. Failing to seed at a one-to-one ratio would see the uploader always stuck when seeding. In this case, the speed of the torrent would hardly go up since the leechers always outnumber the seeders.

For an hypothetical torrent, there might be 2 seeds and 3 peers. When I look at the stats, the seeds might have %, the peers something less -- but no downloading is bltadwin.ruile, for other torrents, other downloads are happening just bltadwin.ru the seeds in the first case just turn off the. Once the torrent is complete you will receive a notice it has finished. Once the download has complete, if you leave Transmission open, you will begin seeding other torrents. By seeding torrents your machine will be used so that others can torrent from you. If you have a problem with this you should close Transmission immediately. Preferences. This is not in the spirit of torrenting and makes you a leech. Click the Speed tab and check Upload (kB/s): enter 0 or your maximum desired upload rate. This covers making Transmission automatically stop seeding when it completes a download for you on Windows, Linux and Mac OSX.
