Pause

[ResonantEcho]

First let me say this is one great client. Continue the excellent work.

It seems the PAUSE feature isn't working for me. I am using the latest version as of October 22nd, 2005 (just downloaded a few minutes ago).

for me when in pause mode , the torrents still downloading !!!

bug ?????

[Martin]

I think it's a known problem. It takes some time before it stops downloading/uploading completely.

I don't know where exactly but I remember reading that pause is only supposed to suspend the transfers but keep the connections to the other clients. Could be that in order to do that a minimum amount of traffic is required, this is just a guess though, I'm not a developer or anything ...

pause its pause , should be all transfers paused (in and out) !!

[sethg]

I think it allows whatever data has been requested to go out and data requests we have made to come in. This is kinder to the connected peers/seeds than abruptly stopping data transfers in progress, which is what stop does. Pause prevents making or accepting any new requests, so it takes a little while for the data transfer rate to ramp down. It shouldn't take more than 30 seconds or so. As long as you see the data rate going down, it is probably working fine.

When I hit the Pause button, only Upload stops. Download goes on forever. (Version 1.1.7)

[edit]

I upgraded to version 1.2, same effect [/edit]

[hendrix]

Its working for me.. 1.1.7.2

[Kupotek]

Pause doesn't seem to do anything here either.

[1c3d0g]

Its working for me.. 1.1.7.2

Agreed. :|

[Kupotek]

Not working in 1.2 Build 328

[1c3d0g]

Did you try the Beta? :/

[Kupotek]

I tried pause in Bitcomet, and it works.

I tried pause in Utorrent 1.2, 1.2.1, and 1.2.2 and it does not work.

[drpiety]

same here wir 1.2.2 if you pause all torrents, add a new one and moe it up, all torrents run again even if paused.

[Kupotek]

Don't have to do anything, just hit pause and it doesn't work.

[scotta316]

Pause works here. (uTorrent 1.2.2, build 345) I just hightlight the torrent(s) I want paused, and after I hit the pause button they coast to a stop.

[1c3d0g]

Yeah, it works here too just fine... :/

[Firon]

Why does pause mode keep downloading or uploading?

It takes a short while for the download and upload to reach 0 (possibly several minutes), since µTorrent must send/receive all the queued pieces first. It does not drop the connections, so small bandwidth spikes may still be seen several minutes after because of BitTorrent protocol overhead.

[ironboyzz]

Pause working fine with 1.2.2 on my side and as Firon points out, it takes a few to show 0s.

Think your probably right with the wait a while method ,stops uploading quite quickly but its still dloading 10 mins later ,can see most of the peers have dropped off now though ,used to be instant when I used 1.1.7.2 ,still on 1.2.1 at the moment as I'm in the middle of a seed and dload .Still got to be better than Az pause feature ,that might as well just be called stop as well because the tracker doesn't pick you up once you pause with it and when you start again its all from zero again and that using the latest 2.3.0.6 .
