What is a good seed to peer ratio?

There really isn’t any “optimal” ratio of seeds/peers. You could max out your download bandwidth from one single seed, regardless of how many peers or leechers there are. In general, the more seeds, the better, as this gives you more places to connect to to download the file.

Is more seeds better when downloading?

The more seeds, the better the download rate. However, it is good to have more peers in addition to the seeders, as the downloaders can utilize both. Once a file is fully seeded, the BitTorrent application automatically stops the seeding process and the file can then be removed from the seeding list.

Does more peers mean faster download?

Peers are the people who both download the parts of the file they don’t have and upload the parts of file they have. If a greater number of seeds are there, faster will be the downloading speed of a file. If a greater number of peers are present, the downloading speed will be less.

How many seeders is a good amount?
