wpcoe555 Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 I Googled and found several (somewhat old) links about how to force uTorrent to automatically remove a torrent from uTorrent when the download completes. I want the *opposite*: I want the torrent to remain and continue seeding. This is what used to happen, but is now not happening. With the death of the Kickass site, I've been using different sites to get torrents, and they appear to use Magnet URIs. When I click on a download link on such a site, it just automatically starts a download rather than downloading a .torrent file that I can use to start the download later. Does that make sense? (I'm no expert on torrenting, though I've been doing it for years.) Whatever method these sites are using, when I click Download on a web site, uTorrent opens and the file download starts but once the download is complete, it is deleted from uTorrent. I want it to remain. How can I do that? [edited to add:] I'm using uTorrent 3.4.9 (build 42606) which appears to be current version. I didn't realize I had uTorrent set to auto-update, so not sure when that happened. Oddly, http://blog.utorrent.com/releases/windows/ doesn't have any release notes for v.3.4.9?

PiusX Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 Then look at your settings it doesn't delete unless you the user made that change option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boneyard Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Mate, check your settings for seeding and make sure you have set it for at least 1.00. Also check your Upload and Seeding speeds. Then get back to us. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if I haven't done that repeatedly. *Which* settings? 15 hours ago, Boneyard said: Mate, check your settings for seeding and make sure you have set it for at least 1.00. Also check your Upload and Seeding speeds. Then get back to us. Cheers Preferences > Queueing: Seeding Goal had "Minimum seeding time (minutes)" set to 0. I changed it to 1. Still no change in behavior. Preferences > Bandwidth: Global Upload Rate Limiting has "Maximum upload rate" set to 0, which supposedly means unlimited, right? What other tweak can help? Wait. I just noticed something. When the download finishes, it immediately disappears from the top panel where downloading torrents are listed, but the seeding is still continuing, according to the status line at the bottom and the window title bar. What is actually missing is my ability to stop the seeding, i.e. to stop/pause/delete the torrent. If I have the torrent highlighted in the top panel when the download completes, although it immediately disappears from the top panel, the bottom panel continues displaying and updating as if it were still active: Time Elapsed clock keeps ticking, Upload Speed keeps updating, Seeds/Peers keeps updating, Status shows Seeding, etc. Also, I cannot move/copy/rename the downloaded files/folders because Windows reports file/folder is open in uTorrent. Even closing uTorrent keeps the files/folders open. Only way to free them is to reboot. Oy vey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Wait. I just noticed something.

Wow. Such a simple solution! Of course, I wonder HOW that got changed when I have not had the sidebar displayed for years. It took me a couple moments to remember there was a sidebar and how to display it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anoid Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 guess it's time to simplify the UI more so that it's easier to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
