Question about ETA while seeding
I'm new to torrenting, have been learning a lot about it and have loved using qBittorrent so far. I do have a question about the ETA.
I totally understand that it's not really counting down in "real time," but instead it is the estimated time until the content available will be completed. I have no issue with that.
What I am curious about is the time jumping. I've been seeding some files for the past 3 days and although up speeds have been constant for these files, it keeps jumping back up to "ETA: 1d 0h," even after a file's ETA has gone down to like 21 hours or sometimes even 18 hours, it still ends up jumping to 1d after some time.
I know it's only an estimate, but that kind of jump seems kind of steep.
Thank you for helping me understand this stuff more! I appreciate yall!
