and what does seed mean? It was at 1 and now it is 0, i'm thinking maybe thats why my download and upload speeds are at 0.
No problem on the questions. I do believe there is a BitTorrent tutorial in the forum somewhere. I will post the link later if someone doesn't beat me to it. In addition, there is a great deal of information to be found searching the web. Try "BitTorrent tutorial" as a search term and I'm sure you'll find plenty. Some instructions may include technical information that you don't understand, but I have found enough that it has helped me.
Seeding is when you have completed your download(s) and leave the program (client) running so that others can get it from you. Essentially the more folks that do this per torrent, then the faster the download for others. As far as you losing your download for a bit...I don't know. My client has been running steady since Sunday. I just checked and a number of people have almost completed the Xavier game. As just explained, if these folks seed, then others can get the torrent faster.
Absolutely no problem. I really appreciate this forum and am glad to contribute.Thx bro you rock
