How many torrents can be active or downloading at a time?
Azureus gives you 2 settings: • Max active torrents: maximum number of torrents that are either “downloading”, “seeding” or “ready”. • Max simultaneous downloads: maximum number of torrents “downloading”. (always inferior to (Highest port number – Lowest port number) and to (Max active torrents)) For instance, you have 4 torrents in Azureus. You set max active torrents to 3 and max simultaneous downloads to 2. • You will then have 2 “downloading” torrents, and 1 torrent “ready” and 1 torrent “stopped”. When one download finishes, the torrent then switches to “seeding” mode and the “ready” torrent begins to download. Once over, you will have 3 “seeding” torrents and a “stopped” one.
