In order to download a torrent media file, it is necessary to firsthave a torrent client. There are many different torrent clients,uTorrent and BitTorrent are two. I found a torrent which I had the exact same content but no seeder (I will call this A). How can u torrent download same files in the exact same location without. Oct 23, 2008 - First of all I downloaded the.torrent file from The Pirate Bay onto my PC. To finish up and start downloading the.torrent, download it. Unlike many other torrent clients available, µTorrent does not eat away at valuable system resources; in fact, the program typically runs on approx. 6MB of memory. ΜTorrent is contained within a single executable file, smaller than 1 MB.
I've heard a claim that a torrent with zero seeders can actually be downloaded in a finite amount of time, because not all people subscribe to the same torrent file, but you can still find them using other techniques such as DHT. Is this true in practice?

Torrent With No Seeders

DHT and Peer Exchange are not tracker related, but program related, so yes they can find people who are downloading the same file but are not connected to the tracker you are using.Those people that are found might be either seeders or leechers.

From this BiTorrent FAQ:
When there are zero seeds for a given torrent (and not enough peers to have a distributed copy), then eventually all the peers will get stuck with an incomplete file, if no one in the swarm has the missing pieces.

When this happens, someone with a complete file (a seed) must connect to the swarm so that those missing pieces can be transferred. This is called reseeding. Usually a request for a reseed comes with an implicit promise that the requester will leave his or her client open for some time period after finishing (to add longevity to the torrent) in return for the kind soul reseeding the file.

Yes, it is true in practice - but not always. With no seeders, there's no guarantee that 100% of the download is available.

DHT clients do not need tracker to operate, so it can download without any seeders, as seeders are reported by tracker itself. Good explanation of DHT relating to torrenting can be found at : http://www.tamiltorrents.net/forums/showthread.php?t=8819

Yes, this is actually possible. I've downloaded torrents that are literally dead: 0 seeders and 0 leechers shown. Right now I'm downloading a 1.7GB file at my normal speed.
However, I'm confused as to how this actually works.
