A good place to start is clicking the bottom right corner where your speed is shown.

You can optimize your speeds by using a fast VPN, port forwarding, and following this guide. Unless someone comes online, the torrent is dead forever. This means there is nobody sharing the file. Generally if your torrent file has updated trackers, and it’s been up for about a month with no activity, the torrent is indeed dead. Generally yes, however we recommend updating your trackers and waiting to see if any seeds come online. Sometimes DHT will show up as peers, see below for more info on DHT.Ī torrent file is showing zero seeds or peers, is it dead? Often you do not need to be connected to all peers in order to download a file effectively. The software will optimize the number of connections based on file availability, speed, etc. There could be a dozen reasons your own internet connection could not be working, much less dozens or hundreds of peers. Why am I not connected to all seeds/peers? The main thing is to ensure you have a decent download speed. Do not be alarmed if you aren’t connected to many/all. Connections to seeds and peers depend on a variety of variables. The second number, the one in the parenthesis, is the total number of seeds or peers in the swarm. The first number is the number of seeds or peers you are connected to. Seeds and peers are shown the same way in qBittorrent, with a number followed by a number in parenthesis. Peers are users who have parts of the larger torrent, usually because they are in the process of downloading. Seeds are users who have the entirety of the torrent you are trying to download. You can create, download, and upload files and make rules on when/where/how much to transfer. qBittorrent allows the user to interact with torrents in a variety of ways. You can download all the files within a torrent, or whichever ones you choose. Torrents put simply are files which are able to be shared and downloaded pieces at a time. QBittorrent is one of the most popular torrent clients in use today. Please post your questions as their own post and not as a comment on this thread
