What are peers?
▫️ Users who already have the file and share pieces of it with others
▫️ More peers = healthier, faster transfers
▫️ Fewer peers = slower speeds, buffering, or stalled downloads
Quick rule of thumb:
👉 Healthy torrent = many peers
👉 Unhealthy torrent = few or none
Think of peers as the “network strength” of a torrent—more people sharing means more bandwidth and better performance.
Engagement question: Have you ever tried downloading a file with zero peers? How long did you wait before giving up?
