Why does BitTorrent still download a little bit when it is seeding, or even when no torrent jobs are started?

This behavior is absolutely normal, and occurs because BitTorrent includes the communication overhead when calculating speeds. When you are uploading data to a peer, you continue to download a little bit of information from the peer to keep track of the peer's progress. Additionally, if the peer requests information or data from you, you also have to download that request (which gets figured into the download speed).

While it is normal to see a non-zero download rate while BitTorrent is seeding, the behavior can be aggrevated by improper settings. When you have too many connections established simultaneously, BitTorrent has to communicate with more peers, and so there will be more downloading of requests and such. To optimize the situation, make sure you've selected the proper setting in the Setup Guide.

Another possible cause for this behavior is the use of the DHT network. Because DHT is always active as long as it is enabled, it will continue to download a little bit of data to ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
