There is no rational argument for calling them annoying and after your finished seeding the task, the user can simply delete them. If this torrent was unseeded and the entire swarm was stuck with less then 100%, a bitcomet peer could complete the download from sources outside the bittorrent swarm, then in turn become a seeder and revive a dead torrent.Īlso, these files are very small and are harmless. Q: Someone might make the comment that these padding files may benefit the bitcomet user, but the rest of the users don't benefit and have these annoying files they have to download.Ī: These files can indeed benefit the entire swarm in some situations. The use of padding files simplifies this so that bittorrent protocol becomes more compatible with http/ftp and emule downloading, so you can more efficiently download the pieces from sources outside the bittorrent swarm. When bittorrent downloading occurs, it doesn't download a group of files, it downloads a group of pieces, some pieces can contain data belonging to two or more files. Ignorance can be cured, so I will attempt to do so in the case that a reader may wish to know the reasons for these files. This option can easily be disabled by unticking the "align file boundry" option when making a torrent.Īs far as someone banning torrents that contain padding files, this is done either out of ignorance, or stupidity.
