Introductory statistics courses prepare students to think statistically but cover relatively few statistical methods. Building on the basic statistical thinking emphasized in an introductory course, a second course in statistics at the undergraduate level can explore a large number of statistical methods. This text covers more advanced gr...
A user wishing to download something obtains a configuration file with the .torrent extension from a tracker, opens the file in their torrent client, and downloads the content from the distributing user to their PC. At the same time, the content being downloaded becomes available to other peers.
Thinking Statistically Downloads Torrent
A tracker is a server that tracks the files residing on each computer that is on the BitTorrent network at the time. They also keep track of where on each computer they live. There are public trackers and invitation-only private trackers. Your BitTorrent client connects with a tracker to find copies of the file corresponding to the torrent file you opened. Once the peer-to-peer connection is made, connection to the tracker is unnecessary, though the tracker may monitor some of your downloads in order to provide network speed statistics. Recent developments in distributed hash tables may make trackers unnecessary in the future.
Very nice, Thanks ;). If im trying to download via torrent it downloads complete folder. As Example it downloads movie in 5 different file formats. Would be nice if it is possible to doenload single files using torrent this way making less traffic.
While I'm downloading a file using a torrent, I have the .torrent file and the content sit in my "downloads" folder in OS X. However, once I have finished downloading I would love very much to share the love and seed like crazy, but I also don't want all of these files sitting in my download folder forever. I would like to move the .torrent files into a generic torrent folder on my drive, and file away the content into my various folders, depending on whether it is a program/iso, music, movie, etc. Is there an easy way to do this?
1. In Preferences>Downloads>Default download location> I have specified a folder where I keep all of my downloaded torrents (in my case i used Macintosh HD>Users>mysername>Torrents) , and it keeps them away from my mac 'downloads' folder (which I think is what you want to do?)
4. This is important to understand; you don't have to worry about the .torrent file you initially downloaded, You can now safely move to the trash the .torrent file you downloaded at point 2 because when you start a torrent download by double clicking or opening the .torrent file you download into 'downloads' uTorrent automatically creates another .torrent file and puts it into
all this did for me was move all my torrented files into the trash and separate them all so they aren't organized in folders anymore. I just have a big folder of mp3s and various other documents for about 90 downloads all disorganized without their original folders. I think i chose "remove all files" by mistake...
If I understood the problem correctly, this should fix it. My original problem was that in moving from Snow Leo to Lion, and to version 1.5.13 from 1.0.3, when I downloaded a new .torrent (the metafile, as distinguished from the target data file uTorrent downloads from peers) it would spawn copies of the metafile all over: in the App Support folder, in the Downloads folder, and other places depending on my preferences. It would also have unpredictable behavior with where the data files were placed, resultig in uTorrent frequently throwing errors when I relaunched it, and was sometimes unable to find either the metafile or the data files, even after a forced recheck and re-choosing the download location on the individual torrent. The above settings will cause uTorrent to keep the .torrent file in the uTorrent folder of the App Support folder during download and thereafter while seeding, until you select "remove .torrent file" or "remove all files". This should make your life easier, and if you need to manually move things from one machine to another, as long as the preferences are set the same on the second machine, this approach should require just a move of the uTorrent App Support folder (or just the .torrent files) from one machine to the other, and also (if needed) the data files themselves from whichever folder you selected above (in my case, a sub-folder within the main Downloads folder). 2ff7e9595c
