Most torrents are downloading at some rate after 15 or so minutes. 33 <p> 34 <div id="pagetitle"> 35 <h1>What is PEX? </h1> 36 </div> 37 <p>PEX (Peer Exchange) is a method of discovering new peers via other peers, rather than the tracker. It allows Transmission to attach to the swarm much quicker. 38 PEX is automatically disabled for privately tracked torrents. 33 39 <p> 34 40 <div id="pagetitle"> -
