number of peers needed?

[Melnot]

HI everyone,

I have been reading the forums and finally decided to sign up.

I had a question when looking at a torrent that would be ideal to cheat. Which is the factor that makes it important?

For example I might see a torrent have 50 seeders + 30 leechers on the page describing the torrent. But when you go to actually download the torrent, it shows you are only connected to maybe 1-3 leechers and in parenthesis shows (30), which if i recall (30) means swarm.

So my question is just to make sure is it ok to cheat if it was 2(30) or do you need a lot more to connect to you? Can they see how many peers are actually connected to you in the swarm?

Thanks.

It's fine, then. Just make sure they're active, check the tracker's peerlist if available.

No.
