What's does the 'downloaded' entry represent from a BitTorrent tracker response?

Example response:

Array(4
   complete   =>  3147
   downloaded =>  33
   incomplete =>  71
   name       =>  ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso
)

From the BT specs it looks like complete refers to the number of seeds and incomplete to the number of peers that are downloading.

But what does downloaded mean? It appears to change everytime I make a new request, just like complete/incomplete

Solution

  • It represents the number of users who downloaded the file completely and are online
