Noob question: When looking at the Seeds and Peers columns of qBittorrent, there are two numbers: one of which is outside the parenthesis and one is inside the parenthesis. Ex 0 (5).

What is the difference between the two numbers in each column?

Currently connected seeds/peers (All known seeds/peers)

Why would a seed be connected to me if I am also just seeding (not downloading or leeching)?

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 58 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

It's the other way around; you connect to seeders.

In the example of 2 (3), there are 3 total seeders and you're connected to 2 of them.

Although in your screenshot, you're at 100%, so you're not connected to any seeders at the moment and are, yourself, a seeder. You have peers (leechers) connecting to you. Same principle applies; in an example of 2 (7), there are 7 peers in total, and 2 of them are actively leeching off you.

What about the many that say something like 7(0). Maybe it is connected peers (non connected peers)?

[–] LocustOfControl@reddthat.com 3 points 11 months ago

Good question. I assume it's DHT delivering peers that aren't in the tracker(s), or maybe a problem with the tracker(s).

The format's "# connected (# total)" in every client I've seen.

They aren't, clearly by looking at your screenshot.

This person posted the format, not a direct answer to your question. Very confusing.

Those are potential connections, outside will be how many you are actually connected to. The potential connections number also isn’t live so don’t take it as fact.

I think the one outside are the actual peers connecting to you and the ones inside are just there saying I am here but not connected to you.
