Why is my .torrent file taking so long to download? - Answers
20/01/ · In an active Torrent transfer, if the number of seeders is less than the number of peers, your file will take longer to download. The greater the seeder-to-peer ratio, the slower a file will download. For example, if there is only one seeder for a file, and ten peers, it will download much slower than a file that has five seeders and ten blogger.comted Reading Time: 3 mins Why does it take so long to download seemingly popular torrents? For instance I'm trying to download torrent that as of right now has seeders and leechers, and download is going excruciatingly slow when usually I download the same amount of data in less than 5 minutes For some reason seeding a torrent takes so much longer for me than downloading it. I'm aware that seeding uses upload bandwidth which is usually slower than download on most internet connections, but my home has a symmetrical gigabit connection (1Gbps up and down) and yet when I'm seeding a torrent it takes so much longer than to download it, how come?
Why does torrent download take so long
By timsplittJanuary 31, in Speed Why does torrent download take so long. When adding torrents to uTorrent, they will sometimes take anywhere form 5 minutes to several hours to start downloading, why does torrent download take so long. This is not due to lack of seeds, this happens to torrents with hundreds of seeds. Within seconds of the torrent actually starting downloading after doing nothing for a lengthy period of timeit can start downloading at several megabytes per second.
I am also way below uTorrent's connection limit. I use no software anti virus I am a big enough nerd to know that I won't get viruses or spyware or firewalls, but I am hardware firewalled, but this doesn't prevent other torrents from functioning as they should. Even opening the torrent that has been stalling for an hour in uTorrent in a different bit torrent client can make it start downloading in the new client within seconds.
The torrents always manage to announce properly and get scrape data from the tracker, but that's where it ends for an extended period of time. I'm running Windows 7 x64 and my settings are set to what why does torrent download take so long speed guide thread on this forum suggests.
I have tried to set the max active torrents much lower previously, but it had no effect. Out of all the torrents I seed, I rarely have more than 50 connections spread out over torrents. Most of the torrents will probably only be active a few times per year. All the majority of them would do is announce every 42 minutes, and to me it seems like that would be some very insignificant bandwidth on a 1 Gbps connection. Anyway, is there any way for me to be able to seed hundreds of inactive torrents while still being able to instantly start new torrents, or will I have to pick only one?
The problem is caused by the fact that your global connection limit gets exceeded far before you run out of active torrents. I see this question coming up a lot in this forum and others, and nobody has ever answered it in a way that actually works. Well I have figured it out.
I've been experiencing this problem for years with uTorrent, and recently realized that in my case, at leastit is happening whenever I have a large number of torrents that I'm seeding; several hundred at least. In this case, why does torrent download take so long, whenever I want to start a new download, I have to STOP all the seeding torrents first. Allow the new downloading torrent s to connect, and then restart all the seeding torrents.
After restarting, the new downloads will retain their connections and the seeds will connect for uploading, as if there was never a problem. This works every time, regardless of the number of torrents I'm seeding. Everyone else who has ever given advice about this problem, such as changing Bandwidth, Queuing, Connection, or other preference settings, have just been throwing out wildly inaccurate guesses trust me, I've tried them all in every conceivable variation.
This is clearly a resource limitation within uTorrent, that no setting changes will correct, but this method works. Try it! That tells me your connection limits and active torrent limits are horridly wrong for your connection. I have done some more experimenting and found the real source of the problem. The culprit here is TPB torrents tracking in the same client uTorrent as private tracker torrents. When Why does torrent download take so long shut down just my TPB torrents, this problem completely goes away.
Doesn't seem to matter how many TPB torrents; as long as there are any active ones, why does torrent download take so long, they interfere with private torrent trackers starting up and staying connected. My bet is that most others who are having this problem, are seeing it on their private trackers as well.
If this is the case, then try this. It worked for me like a charm. I am a member of 3 private tracker sites, and there doesn't seem to be any problem with any of them playing together in the same uTorrent client. Only when I mix TPB torrents with them.
I know this sounds very weird, but it's true. I tested this in several dozen variations of different trackers, and all results pointed to TPB torrents as causing the problem. So, to deal with TPB torrents which I'm not ready to give up yet I installed another torrent client, and manage all my TPB torrents in a separate app.
The 2 apps running at the same time chew up a pretty good chunk of system resources, but it works. When I need some overhead, I'll temporarily shut down the 2nd client.

In addition, it greatly slows down my download speed on other files
