Glossary

What is a .torrent ?

• A torrent is a small file that contains information (such as name or tracker address) on the file to download.
• They are hosted on Tracker

What is a tracker ?

• A tracker is a database linked to a website, which preserves and disseminates .torrent files to users .

• There are two types of tracker :

• Public tracker : Torrents are not only connected to a single tracker .
• No record is asking

• Private Tracker: Torrents are connected to a single tracker and only work on it.
• It is necessary to be previously recorded . These sites use ratio system .

The ratio

• This is the ratio between the amount of data you have sent ( Upload / Seed ) and the amount of data that you received ( Download / Leech ) .

• For example, if you download 1GB of data , you need to share the same amount of data for a ratio of 1

• To ensure a good ratio it must be based on supply and demand .

• For example, it is preferable to perform file transfers where seeder are less than the number of applicants ( leecher ).

• Thus, after retrieving data , you will be in a position to distribute the data to the greatest number and thus create a positive ratio.

• Conversely, if you opt for transfers where the number of applicants is less than the number of offers (less leechs than seeds) , you will have many difficulties with ratio, as others propose the same data as you .

Seeder / Leecher

• The seeders are those that provide , that is to say they are the ones who share files .
• Leechers are those that retrieve data .

• Thus, more there are seeders, the more there is to share. Conversely, if there is only leechers, you can not recover the data.
• With your service, as soon as you start downloading data, you become also seeder.

Slots

• A slot is a location on your server available for downloading or sending a .torrent file

• Example: If you get 10 slots, you can have up to 10 active torrent files at the same time.

• If you try to start more slots, system will pause some of them, beginning by the highest ratio.
