Start torrent, clients loaded, removed, reloaded, repeat

Post by donelson52 »

When I start a torrent, I get a list of many CLIENTS (ten or more full seeders) that show 0 data transfer, then they all disappear, then reappear, then disappear, and finally after a long time, start to send data

This is very frustrating and time consuming

What am I doing wrong?

Not mentioning the client app your using, but I guess from the follow-up post you use the MacOS version of Transmission.

This may be a network issue, but it could be something completely different or benign. How long does it take for a torrent to actually start downloading? Is that about the same for all your torrents?

Is the term "clients" actually used in the interface? I think that should be peers.
