saoir Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Hi all,Just switched to uTorrent from Azureas....and have read some of the help files.But I cannot figure out if I can stop downloading, while still seeding ? I need to do this to maintain my ration.Also is it correct that uTorrent does not display the Ratio, I have to calculate it in the stats window?Thanks Saoir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Stop the torrent, go to the Files tab, select all files, right-click and select "Skip". Now start the torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 This is technicall not seeding regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All wer then marked skip.But when I started the torrent it started to come in at 20k ! what is downloading ? I did this for another and the same thing happened Saoir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Restart µTorrent and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saoir Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 No luck.. however I did find the only way I could get this to work was....I went back and added ALL of the torrent files referring to files I had 100% downloaded. They all appeared in the window.. so I labelled them all as 'downloaded and seeding'. Then I click on 'no label' and only my downloading seeds show on screen. If I want to see uploading ones I click on 'downloaded and seeding'. My only concern now is that thoise are the only files that will be available for seeding. What if someone wants me to seeda file I have downloaded but is not on this list ? :confused: ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invy Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I don't know what exactly you are asking but anyway, if you go to set the scheduler, hold shift while clicking one of those hour boxes, it will turn red instead of green/light green/white. This means that any torrent that is 'Downloading' will turn to 'Seeding' only mode for that hour that you set the scheduler for.I really like this feature. Let's say that you are downloading a huge file from a tracker that keeps tabs on having a good ratio. You can stop the downloading and just seed what you have of the torrent so you can boost your ratio up or something. I'm surprised DreadWingKnight, didn't mention this, unless my mind is off and i'm thinking of something completely different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saoir Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Many thanks Invy - that should be a big help.I apologise for not explaining what I wanted. Basically I want to have periods where I ONLY seed, with no downloads. And this seems to be the solution.Tks again.Saoir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Oh. It sounded like you wanted to stop downloading the files and just upload them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
