with torrent your computer acts as both a downloader and an uploader first you download the client software -- something like utorrent -- (this is the thing that manages the download of the files) the client software starts downloading the files "Once connected, a client downloads bits of the files in the torrent in small pieces, downloading all the data it can get. Once the client has some data, it can then begin to UPLOAD that data to other clients. In this way, everyone downloading a torrent is also uploading the same torrent. This speeds up everyone’s download speed. each downloader contributes upload bandwidth to other downloaders, ensuring the torrent stays fast." https://www.howtogeek.com/141257/htg-explains-how-does-bittorrent-work/ Last edited by jamesl#0818 on Aug 4, 2017, 8:59:55 AM	Posted by jamesl#0818 on Aug 4, 2017, 8:59:21 AM Quote this Post

Stop blaming the devs. Edit: estimated completion, 15min It's actually the location, not the connection. The fiber going directly in to my house is just fine but where I'm located compared to where the peers are located is the actual bottleneck. Could be. I never knew Finland to be a hotspot for poe players. Anyways, im done downloading and will keep on seeding until release. Good luck to people struggling with download speeds.

Been hooked in D3 for a year and now I thought that's enough. The current season was so bad for me (I am a HC player and in one of the top HC clans in EU server) that I ragequitted D3. Want to get a deeper look-in PoE. Already read some newbie guides and watched Engineering Eternity's video guides (and read Zizaran's one - the video one is awful for me). For PoE however, I plan to go with SC league and just play the game, enjoy it like a new experience. Then, maybe SSF HC with one of the recommended starter builds. No more 6 piece sets totalitarism ! ;) I have downloaded the game yesterday and the today's torrent and I am seeding it even now (current ratio for me is 0,500+ and I will be seeding like till 8 PM). Treat me like a total newcomer to the game but I am not a newbie to the genre. In fact, my greatest achievements in D3 are: S8 - HC Crusader - around 120th rank by the end of the season, non-season after S10: GR 85 (or a bit higher) with Demon Hunter (maybe I was ranked in the low 90-80s or so, top-ish spots, dont remember it now) and this season - rank 60 on Witch Doctor HC for GR 60 (at the beginning of the season). I know it means nothing here but I am just using my bragging rights :P GL, HF anybody from a D3 convert ! ;) <REV> RadTang (the guy who quite often boosted ppl on Hardcore Europe in s10 and s11). Well, better late than never. Welcome to PoE! :) Thanks a lot ! :) Welcome to PoE. The game will/might seem complicated at first, but once you get the hang of it and start understanding the basic systems it will be easy. Do not feel bad if a build fails, just start over with a new char. Three month leagues offer plenty of time to level multiple characters while still getting all the challenges. Also, it does not matter if you level a low level character or a farm with a high level character in PoE as currency drops everywhere(maps and higher level unique's do not though). For leveling, just make sure you max your resistances, or level purity of elements while you get better gear still. Welcome, and enjoy PoE 3.0. PS: I have seen many old D3 players make the mistake to call PoE clunky and slow, but this is only when you start out. When you get support gems, aura's, gear and start to get the hang of the game, there is no limit!	Posted by sarannah101#2551 on Aug 4, 2017, 9:04:13 AM Quote this Post

Leaving the torrent on my 10Gbps connection. Not uploading much atm	Posted by Jusupov#2364 on Aug 4, 2017, 9:23:42 AM Quote this Post
GOt fibre line with 75mb/sec download speed but for some reason the torrent does not connect to anyone, so download can't start. Anyone else have similar issues?	Posted by WhiteMagick#2086 on Aug 4, 2017, 9:29:55 AM Quote this Post
So we either download the whole torrent who's the whole game, then reinstal the game. Or we wait 3.0 launch and just download the patch. Can someone tell me if i'm correct ?	Posted by EzBreesy#4599 on Aug 4, 2017, 9:33:02 AM Quote this Post
I have tested my torrent client with other downloads, and it works perfectly. For some reason this specific download just don't want to start	Posted by WhiteMagick#2086 on Aug 4, 2017, 9:33:28 AM Quote this Post
