What is a seeder and what is a leecher?

January 20, 2017 / / 0 Comments

When I use Transmission to do the downloading, I see some figures on the web control panel of Transmission. Those are technical terms. Such as Seeder, Leecher, Ratio, Trackers, Peers, etc.

So the questions come. What is a seeder? What is a leecher?

Let me check it from search engine and put all together.

And the device will shown the updating bar.

When the update done, the Fitbit Connect will display the information:

fitbit-update-done

The question is, I can not find the the version of firmware updated from the program.

I just be hit by the low battery notice, So I replace the battery CR2025.

When I put the cap on the battery, I saw the device screen shows 5.86. I believe it is the firmware version.

The latest firmware version of Fitbit Zip is 5.86 for now.

My guess is something wrong with the tracker itself.  Maybe settings of bluetooth.

So reset the device.

Restarting your tracker will turn it off and then on. Restarting your tracker does not clear its data.
