uTorrent
In the files sector showing al of the files with the Blue showing the amount of the file downloaded. What does the Green segments mean in some of the files?

WHat does it mean:
Against number of PEERS it may give 52 and then in (6052)
similarly SEED 2 (405)
Whats the figur in brackets?
What I need is a quide for Dummies!!!

Taken from the FAQ:
* Dark blue means the data is downloaded and written to disk.
* Medium blue means the data is downloaded but still in the cache.
* Light blue means the data has been requested from one peer.
* Green means the data has been requested from multiple peers (only in endgame mode).

The numbers in brackets is the total connected to the swarm, 52 & 2 means the number you are connected to.

Think thats the plainest way I can put it

At a guess, downloading the last few blocks in a file. The last few blocks can often be difficult to get - last thing you want is a 99.9% complete file.

So having them GREEN BLOCKS ain't exactly positive! I'm on 87.4% my first Torrents/uTorrents!

Thanks for the input

Removed stuff that looks like warez, and at that point this thread has to close.
