I assume by now that the torrent in question is actively seeding.

I noticed the same thing with this torrent. I've also noticed that it has been happening with other torrents as well. I think the problem may be more generalized.

Watching the torrent activity/traffic for the torrent you mentioned, and also for those that I've noticed with similar problems, I don't agree that it is likely a dial-up user. Rather, I suspect that it is a user who is a) acting on behalf of the performer and using a torrent to generate interest or b) a user who is deliberately throttling seed activity to optimize their download/upload ratio.

There are some that I think will be among harder ones for people to download, that I try to leave together and keep the seeding going for months and a few for years. But generally, if it is just run of the mill porn, watch it once and delete...

What you're describing is a single seeder, likely on a dial-up line! And you think adding more LEECHERS is a good idea?

My suggestion is to hit the RESEED REQUEST button and hope someone with high-speed connections can help you...

BUT, this is a 30+ GB "collection" torrent, added over 2-months ago. My guess is most people added it to their existing collections, thus losing the ability to re-seed (that is, all the files are scattered about where their OTHER Bel Ami files are stored).

In any case - good luck! I just hope this request doesn't come back to bite you!

PS: For slow seeders, I usually click the "download sequentially" option in my client - work on 1-file at a time! At least you should get SOME of them!
