digidoggie18 Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) I am currently running utorrent 3.5.5 build 46038. In preferences I have set the client to not allow more than 3 active torrents, upload or download, and the maximum number of active torrents at 3. utorrent is fully disregarding this as I instead of having only 3 downloading and seeding I have 6 downloading with 2 queued. Is this a normal thing? I feel that it is an error on the software portion. Please help if I am not understanding this correctly. it was half working the other day but would download 1 more than requested. A lot of the help items in this version also run me into 404 not found errors and don't even open anything up as well.

DreadWingKnight Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 It depends on the actual speeds of your downloading torrents. If some of them are effectively not downloading, they are not counting towards the queue numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digidoggie18 Posted August 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) They are all effectively downloading. some only at a few KB but this also isnt what I wanted. I wanted only 3 going at any given time to maximize download and upload times. What can I do to change this? I figured active meant total downloads? Things have changed so much from my last use that a lot of the options I remember seem to be gone.

rafi Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) "Active" means above some set speed level, which defaults to 0 I think. Seeding torrents can be counted as active downloading too due to acks... You can try and increase it (see tip P in my Tips/guide @sig) Edited August 25, 2021 by rafi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
