FOR EXAMPLE: Actually I find that under seeds tab in the upper window of uTorrent it is 12(45) and under peers 67(89). So my question is what does this 12 , 45, 67 and 89 represent? AND also what does the reqs tab (6 I 0) represent? it is in the lower window of uTorrent and as a last thing i would want to know how to manually add a peer? PLEASE HELP ME……..

Answer:
The first number is how many people you are interacting with, such as sending and recieving info. The second number is how many people have the torrent file and is online at the moment. I think the reqs tab, the first one means number of requests for incoming info, and the second is for outcoming info. And for manually adding a peer on uTorrent, click on the torrent file you want to change. Then click on the peers tab on the bottom screen. Right click, then add peer. Here, you would enter your peer’s IP address Hopes this helps

Answer:
Torrents are a P2P (Peer-to-peer) file-sharing protocol. A .torrent file contains the information regarding the torrent’s contents and the location of the tracker that will connect the users. To use the .torrent file you must have a torrent client such as BitComet, uTorrent, etc. When the client opens the file, it connects to the tracker and locates the people sharing the file. The client will then begin downloading the file from the connected users, as well as uploading the portions that you have already recieved. This is basically how P2P file sharing works.

Answer:
To start with the basics, a torrent file is a file that you are downloading from a series of sources called “Seeders” The number of seeders greatly increases the speed of the torrent and the quality, Torrents can be uploaded by anybody so be warned that some people like to make viruses, say they are a wanted file and laugh as you infect your computer. You will also need torrenting software such as Utorrent or Bittorrent. The number of seeders can help you determine if a file is genuine because 200 people won’t be uploading the same virus. When you torrent the file, you are taking pieces of the file from each location, the program that you use will tell you how many of the seeders that you are downloading from at a time. For example you may have a possible 1000 seeders, but only be torrenting from 40 of them. Torrent files can be anything from a word document to a word program. A movie trailer to a movie to a movie editor. After downloading a torrent, you can decide to seed it if it was good which will help speed up future downloads for others, or not to seed the file. You can also leave comments on the file, for example, if the file was a virus, its good to leave a comment warning future downloads. Also, be warned that torrenting files that you have yet to purchase is ILLEGAL and a violation of copyright, For example, if you want to torrent, Final Fantasy VII, Advent Children, then legally you must have purchased a copy of it first. The torrenting site will not ask you about it and will have no way of knowing, but if you torrent a file without first owning a legal copy then ARRRGH! you are a pirate my friend! Once you have downloaded the file, select the download destination (it is usually, My Downloads for windows users, not sure for Macs) and open the download there. It should be in a folder labeled the name of your torrent there. Open the folder and follow instructions for more complicated items that you may have downloaded. If you have any further questions please feel free to email me as I know that it can be confusing at first.
