      <title>Torrent Questions replied by ceecookie @ Sun, 29 Jun 2008 00:55:31 +0800</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;World of free(sic) softwares await in the world of Bittorrent
&lt;img src="/images/emoticons/classic/icon_lol.gif" alt=
"icon_lol.gif" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But a price to pay... is the slow software speed..expect to wait
up to hours or even a day for the file to be fully downloaded
&lt;img src="/images/emoticons/classic/icon_lol.gif" alt=
"icon_lol.gif" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A tip - try downloading a torrent that has a most number of
seeders..thats an indicator that there's alot of hosts(or somthing
like that), while leechers is the opposite lol&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;You need VNC.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
actually how vnc works?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;vnc&amp;nbsp;seems to be quite laggy compared to remote desktop.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Hi, i got a couple of questions regarding torrents.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1) What does tracker do? What is it used for?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) Does Bitcomet and UTorrent client have any differences? I
used bitcomet to dl a particular file which has only a seed, to try
out whether i could establish a connection, i couldnt. however for
Utorrent, i successfully did it. So are there any differences?
settings?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3) Prior to the 2nd question, does the ports make a difference
as well? Say, if i uploaded this torrent, and my ports is about
40000, the other person trying to download it has it at 50000, will
it affect the connection? Will it even establish a connection as
well?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many Thanks in advance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. In short, to track users. In long, read the wiki.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_tracker" rel=
"nofollow"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_tracker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. BitComet is banned by some trackers as it is notorious for
getting the users a high download speed even if they did not upload
anything. That may explain why you are unable to download the
torrent via BitComet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcomet#DHT_Exploit" rel=
"nofollow"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcomet#DHT_Exploit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. No, it does not make a difference and would not affect the
possibility of establishing a connection with another user, unless
it is already in use by an application on your computer / the
computer on the other end. To be safe, avoid port numbers that are
already assigned to an existing protocol. A simple rule of thumb
would be to choose one that is between 50000 and 59999.&lt;/p&gt;

post. please be sensible. thanks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i don't really know the actual usage of a tracker, thus the
question mark at the end&amp;nbsp;and perhaps assist you to ponder a
little more. because&amp;nbsp;i&amp;nbsp;thought it can be roughly guessed
to how the term was derived.&lt;/p&gt;
