why does the speed of a torrent decrease when it is towards completion????

[tango_cash]

hi ppl
i use bitcomet for dwnloding torrents. from some time i have been observing that when a torrent is towards completion it's speed decreses.
this has happened many times. does any one know why.
how can i stop this.

mayb it uploads more rather than downloads .........

Fewer ppl have complete files... more have part files.. so u get to download from all of them havin parts larger than urs. The more complete ur download bcomes, the lesser speeds u might come up with as lesser ppl have the part of file u want...

The graph goes up & then down... Starting prob as more ppl have to b gathered, then steady, then comes completion phase which fewer ppl have got. U download from lesser ppl then.. thus lower speeds in the end.
Not necessary though. As in case of ur download speed slower than the combined upload speeds of seeders.

BitToorent is the network, not a client.
