a bit confused
« on: August 31, 2010, 12:24:46 AM »
i'm a bit tech-illiterate sometimes and i'm new to seeding,so i was curious to what the difference was between "seeding" and "seeded" was?

sounds like to me seeded is when seeding is done,but i'm not sure lol. i have a few things seeding at the moment,so the thought came to mind.and I've fallen in love with this site, I've found alot of anime's I've been longing to watch for awhile

any help is greatly appreciated :)

seeding = present tense.
seeded = past tense. (also generally it means you seeded more then 1:1 ratio)

no, when you are seeding it will show as seeding no matter your ratio.
When you remove those torrents, if they are either free leech or over 1:1 ratio it will go to the seeded tab. If you have a less then 1:1 ratio it will go to the leeched tab (if they are NOT currently seeding)
Any time a file is seeding on your torrent program it will be listed as seeding. It wont go to any other tab until you turn off your torrent program or remove that particular torrent.

Seeding is a process that improves your ratio.  A seeded torrent is one that you have seeded more than you leeched.

Leeching - you are downloading this torrent
Seeding - you have finished downloading this torrent, and are now uploading it for others
Leeched - this torrent is not active.  You have downloaded more than you have uploaded.
Seeded - this torrent is not active.  You have downloaded less than you have uploaded.

The tabs are a bit wonky atm, though, so don't panic if a torrent is listed in a place you don't expect it.  Seeding and leeching should be accurate, though.
