>>105889 *smacks head* You don't simultaneously send the same bit to everyone at the same time. TORRENTING ISN'T STREAMING, can you read? In superseeding mode, you send each bit of the file out once in sequential order, alternating between a few peers - on mine, 3 peers each get about 10kb/s, then once the file piece is sent it switches to another piece, another peer.
They in turn send what bits they have to peers who need it. To put it simplistically, everyones upstream is combined.
Noone is dling faster than you upload but it's like you've only uploaded it once, i.e. the same as you did to rapidshare, but everyone completes the file around the same time and can share it on.
THERES YOUR SHORT INTRO TO BT
Anyway, thanks for sharing at all.
