GerryAttrick Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I have tried searching but have been unable to find anything to explain it but two of my (4)torrents show a message under Status "[F]Seeding"...normally its just "Seeding" None are actually uploading at the moment I have never seen it before and two other torrents are showing without the [F] part.

DreadWingKnight Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 The "[F]" is force started. You shouldn't be force starting torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerryAttrick Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Sorry about that. I stopped the torrent when I meant to pause it so I assumed I would need to Start it again as opposed to resuming. Does this cause an issue with the torrents or is it more a matter of etiquette and bad manners to Force Start rather than wait for it to start itself? I could not find the actual effect of Force Starting other than to use it if the torrent does not start initially...but I still have some more reading to do At least the torrent ratios are good at >4 and 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is NOT the reason to force start. Force starting has the torrent ignore your queue settings and NOTHING MORE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
