I have 863Kbps of upload bandwidth that I
finally figured out how to use for seeding torrents. I guess this is an approriate place to ask a few questions...
Here, for an example, I'm attempting to seed all the movies from the Concept Demos page (I intend to eventually seed published movie on the site). I've pointed the torrents to the files on my hard drive, and each one has the green check mark with status "Complete". I see that users can connect and download from me even though that status doesn't say "Seeding".
Is this the same as letting BitTorrent choose which files to seed?
In this shot, I've selected every torrent, right-clicked, and selected "Force start torrent". Now, each torrent is marked with the blue upload arrow and the status reads "Seeding".
Does this create the problem of "spreading bandwidth too thin" that was mentioned?
Finally, I'm a bit confused about Bisqwit's
btfriend script. Does it work if the names of the files stored on my hard disk are different than the filenames used by the TASVideos site? Do I have to run the BitTorrent client at the same time or is it independant? Why is it better than the official BitTorrent client?
Thanks in advance for helping me help everyone else...
