What do seeds mean on vuze

This is only useful if you are the original creator however, and you actually must have a web server serving up the file.

Unless you are an advanced bittorrent user serving up your own torrents, you should leave this setting unchecked the default. Two forms of seeding are currently defined, the original webseed specification and the getright specification, both of which are supported.

See the BitTorrent Specification for details. And because of some other things about the behaviour of superseeding, this function does not work at all well in swarms with one peer and one seed only. So it is only good when the seeder is the only seed usually the original uploader , and there are more than two peers. For more information please see Seeding Rules. When activated, additional information is available in the details view, right-click, "Choose the columns to display".

Once each piece has been sent once or is available once , Azureus switches back to normal mode. It has to disconnect because it announced different bitfields to each client I have Super Seed checked in the Configuration Seeding options, but does this mean that I'm not Super Seeding even though I'm the only seed in the swarm?

A: Correct, you are not Super Seeding. One big advantage of bittorrenting is that no large central server is required to distribute files to those who want them—all you need is your PC or Mac. Bittorrenting breaks down massive files into itty-bitty bits. Think back to Mom cutting your Salisbury steak into tiny, bite-sized pieces so you could eat your dinner. Remember spreading your food around your plate in an attempt to fool Mom that you ate everything so you could get to desert instead?

Bittorrenting spreads out larger files in pretty much the same way. Rather than taking forever to download a large file, bittorrenting makes each user a piece of the puzzle, portioning out smaller parts of that file that can be downloaded simultaneously and speeding up the time required to get that awesome new file on your hot little harddrive!
