With the development of Internet speeds, people stopped going to stores to buy DVDs with movies, games and music. Now it is much easier to find and download content on pirate sites on the net than to run around the shops for months, looking for a disc with your favorite music or game. At the same time, initially you could download information directly from sites, but this took time, and you did not have to turn off the Internet, otherwise you would have to do everything again. The mTorrent program came to the aid of users. To understand it, you need to introduce some concepts and decide what "return" in a torrent is.
Trackers
So, before digging into the torrent, let's deal with the site. Torrent trackers are forums where people exchange torrent files. On most trusted and secure trackers, where the administrators check the content for the absence of viruses, you will need to register and create your own account. After that, using the resource search, you can find and download the content you need, or rather, a torrent file with information about it. By running it on your computer, you will start downloading the desiredinformation. It is also worth mentioning that the site acts as an intermediary between users, so it will not be possible to directly exchange torrents.
Recoil
When exchanging information, a torrent uses the principle that everyone who has downloaded data remains in the distribution until the data about him on the site is deleted.
What is a return in a torrent? If you downloaded the data and did not delete the entry in the manager about it, then you automatically become a "seed". That is, those who distribute data. Thus, other users of the tracker get partial access to your computer and "pull" the same files from you via the Internet as you used to.
Unfortunately, a large return in a torrent affects the download speed. And in a negative way. Therefore, you will have to choose between uploading and uploading. Knowing what a return in a torrent is, you may not be surprised why the download speed drops. After all, there is only one Internet channel, and the data exchange speed is approximately the sum of the download and upload in total.
Settings
If the high speed of distribution in the program interferes with you, and you urgently need to download something, you need to configure the program and find out why there is a big return in the torrent. There are only a few reasons.
- A lot of torrents. High returns may be due to the fact that you have a large number of downloads active. Thus, traffic leaves a little from each, and as a result we get"avalanche". What to do? Open the torrent program and pause all those distributions that take a lot of data.
- "Countrymen". In many cities there are local networks of Internet operators. In such networks, speeds can be simply prohibitive. Therefore, if a torrent is downloaded by two people from such a network, then the return will completely go to the "countryman". As a way out, you can offer the suspension of a particular torrent, or just wait. Indeed, with the speeds at which data is exchanged in local networks (especially over fiber optics), it does not take much time for the "peer" (the one who downloads) to leave.
- Besides the above, there is one general way to limit returns. After launching the torrent, click on its icon in the lower right part of the screen. In the menu that appears, select "recoil limit" and set the value as low as possible. Now your torrent will not distribute data, but only receive it.
Now you know what "return" is in a torrent and how to set it up. We hope you find our tips useful.
