    You’re suggesting OP stop seeding because those seeders will be able to download faster, but we literally see just a snapshot.

    I suggested that OP check their settings.

    Are you saying I shouldn’t seed because that way an American or European will be able to download faster?

    Again, that’s not what I am saying at all. Stop putting words in my mouth.

    I can’t believe such a toxic and inaccurate comment has this many upvotes.

    If you’re looking for a toxic comment, look at your own where you are wilfully misrepresenting my argument, make wild assumptions and then attack those. That’s textbook definition of toxic behavior.

    At 16kb/s per connection , I think you have to ask yourself if you’re really helping. Have you checked your settings that you aren’t limiting your upload speeds?

    Edit: people seem to be offended by this comment, so let me clarify by what I meant with “are you really helping”.

    Torrent clients default to a fixed number of peers they download from. If you end up with only 16kb/s connections, you are being limited by those seeders in how fast you can download.

    Whereas if there were less seeders but they could provide 1mb/s connections, you are limited by your own internet connection and are downloading full blast.

    I hope that clarifies my statement.
