....
A month on a 1GB rip is a bit long but you seem to not understand that any file in the set can easily be deselected. Therefore the point that individual files will download faster is incorrect. If the speeds stay the same and the files are isolated it will take the same amount of time…
Thanks for taking the time to reply on my post. Allow me to clarify the following in relation with the quote, above, from your reply...
Although I didn't included in my post, I know how to select a file in a torrent and, in fact, there lies the issue.
And the issue is everyone will select his or hers preferred file from the torrent, hoping that will at least download something as soon as possible, complete...
But while, let's say, I prefer the LQ mp4, others will go for the iso and others for one of the other two mp4's...
The initial and only seeder will have to split its bandwith and accomodate all the isolated file requests.
So, although everybody is downloading a single torrent, the peers that download the iso cannot contribute to the people that download the mp4's and the opposite.
That means the peers swarm is split in two or more isolated groups that cannot contribute to each other and if, for instance, the iso downloading group has more peers compared to the other groups then... "Houston, we have a problem"!
If someone knows better and thinks that the above are not correct, please step in.
I will read carefully his or hers answer but I will not reply.
That was all the time I had to spare and last but not least, this is also one of the strengths of the torrent protocol...
You set it once and forget it. It will work till the end of time trying to download your stuff!
Thanks again.
