Ferenan Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Once the conditions for 'seeding priority' arent met and you limit the upload to 0 for non-prioritized torrents, the torrent stops.I suggest the option to leaving the torrent "queued" instead of stoping it. So that if the conditions change it starts seeding again. This is mainly for the 'Number of seeds is less than: ' condition.Example: my settings are to prioritize if the share ratio is below 100% and the number of seeds is less than 5Start - I download a torrent and it seeds enough so that its no longer in seeding priority (1.0 ratio and more than 5 seeds) at this point the torrent is stoped.Later on - the seeds on the torrent fall to below 5, since the torrent is stoped it doesnt seed anymore. What i sugest is the option to leave it queued so that if the seeds fall anytime below 5 it'll start seeding again.thanks. This is helpfull for sharing some rare files.

ScubaSteve Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 y not just change the seeds box to 0. if theres less than 5 seeds then surely theyre going to need your extra bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferenan Posted October 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 that would make all of the torrents to keep seeding. i meant for it to seed extra if there's a shortage of seeds otherwise keep the bandwith to the torrents which are downloading.

djbacon Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 yeah, this is exactly what i wanted to request. Would be great to see in next release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I'm definitly against this. People would call me a leecher maybe, but for most of my torrents i dont need nor want to seed beyond the 1:1 ratio, And the option to stop torrents once they reached their goal is needed.

Ferenan Posted October 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 yes of course... i didnt meant to change from changing the current feature from stop to queue, I meant for an option to change the default action for non-prioritized torrents (lets you chose between stopping the torrent or queueing it) for those of us who want it, that way if you dont want it enabled you can just turn it off.

ScubaSteve Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 i still quite like my idea in another post allowing you to flag the torrent as "important" and to ignore the seed priotity ratio and continue seednig past it but at the same time not bypassing the que system.

Huck Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I'd suggest that the seeding priority was global + per-torrent which would override global settings. It would help us to realise all our fantasies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would help us to realise all our fantasies i dont see what you mean, can you give an example?I mean that you could set seeding priority for each torrent individually.But sorry i forgot to mention about queue instead of stop. Such feature (optional) would be nice as well. Indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenu Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 maybe this is kind of what you've been requesting in this thread, but i'm not sure, so i'll post my request here:there are a number of torrents that i would like to keep seeding for a long time, especially those that i know won't have many peers but every now and then there will be someone that wants to download the file. in any case, i would like to have the option of stopping to seed once my ratio is x, and then, if there are no seeds, automatically re-seed again just so that the torrent is kept alive. for the moment i choose to have a number of torrents seeding with an upload cap of 20kbps, in order not to upload too many gigabytes per day/week/month. but i would much rather upload at high speed for a short time, and then not at all when there are enough copies out there.i kind of hope my request is impossible with the current client, because i'd feel a little embarrassed if it is.

xerox6502 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I second "lenu" (I think). I also have a lot of torrents that I keep around to "keep alive". I would like the app to have an option to seed any torrent that has no seeds - even if the tracker scrape reports 0 leechers. This (0) (0) condition happens a lot with my torrents, and often is just due to trackers with 'bad' scraping. But even if that is not the case, I still want to be 'connected' in case someone shows up. I realize that this would cause extra overhead (keeping open torrents that have no peers), so it should probably be an option.(P.S.) I have around 60 files that I seed.

turner3d Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I have seen numerous posts regarding "seed until X seeders", but this is the only one I could find mentioning a dual condition - "seed until X seeders AND Y%" - as a utorrent user and frequent uploader, this is a feature i sorely miss. While uploading, if I forget to do a forced start, the upload bails when I hit my global 110%, usually leaving the most-completed peer dead in the water around 70%. If I do a forced start, I end up overseeding the crap out of the torrent. I put in my "yes" vote for the "seed until X seeders" option, but the option really doesn't make sense unless you combine it with "AND Y%".

tunic Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Here's what I would like to see:I always have a large amount of Queued Seeds, and often see a torrent chosen that has a very large amount of seeders, but there are some other queued seeds that would be more welcome with an extra seeder. So I would like utorrent to figure out which of them is most in need. If torrent A has 20 seeds, and torrent B only 0 or a few seeds but with a couple of leechers, choose for torrent B to start seeding and maybe even queue torrent A instead.am i making any sense here? ;-)This does imply that the scraping must improve. My previous bittorrent client did a much better job in getting the current amount of seeders. I often manually start seeding a torrent because the stats tell me that it has a leecher and zero seeders (even after manually requesting for it), but after starting it it turns out it has plenty.

tunic Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 tunic: bt.scrape_stoppedI know, I've got it set to True. But still it happens that a queued seed or seeding torrent has 0 seeders between brackets, and after manually updating, it will change. Or what happened yesterday was that I was seeding a torrent (I was the sole seeder), 0 seeders are listed even after I manually updated the tracker.Anyways, I've been thinking some more about how the seeding could be improved.... Would it be possible to base it on the seeders/leechers ratio? To calculate the ratio of all queued seed and seeding torrents, then pick the one(s) to start seeding that have the least favourable ratio and the least amount of seeders.

Firon Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 If it stays at 0, it may mean the scrape failed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
