How to upload only to several peers with 'highest progress'
Posted: Mon Dec 11, 2023 8:50 am
Hi, new here and also while I used qbittorrent for some years, I actually don't quite understand the settings. Maybe what I want can't be achieved or is a mistaken approach.
--------------------
There is a hundred peers with everybody stalled on 30% because nobody has more of the file. All leaching and seeds may be gone or just not online.
I downloaded the whole file over http and I want to seed in some efficient way but my upload is scattered over multitudes of peers, even those who just joined at zero %
I would like to upload only to few of those on those 30% to pull them faster to 100% and then they can join me in seeding much faster.
I played with the setting and was lowering the numbers but still I waste my upload on one or two new peers on 0%
global max connections 100
max # connections per torrent 6
global max # upload slots 6
max # of upload slots per torrent 6
I cut it down drastically and I don't quite get what is a 'slot' here, all I see is that I can't bump of those who just joined the torrent and who slow everybody down.
Even at these low numbers I think even the peers who have most of the files might be switching for others who don't have as much. Is this pure socialism or what?
Is maybe my logic faulty, that of first topping up only several peers to 100% (because I can do it faster) and then open it up again to let my upload be diluted among the multitude, even among the late stragglers? Of course it relies on those who when they get to 100% they will stay to seed alongside myself.
