FordP929 Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 I have to admit the new ratio and prioritizing is getting to the point where it is understandable and easy to use. I just noticed this today while I was downloading and seeding a torrent. The torrent prioritizing rules stopped a torrent becuase it didn't have enough peers so I force started it to cause it to continually upload to 180%. I woke up this morning and it was at 191% and it didn't stop. I manually stopped it made sure I checked the individual torrent options to make sure that was also 180% and it was.I know this feature works for torrents that weren't force started becuase it stopped other torrents. I just wanted to know if anyone else experienced this when they force started a torrent. And if they are I wanted to inform ludde and vurlix.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordP929 Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 I just found another post that is similar to my own but not exactly it.I'm using uTorrent 1.1.7.2 (build 293) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creat Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 If you force-start a torrent you manualy set it to running, overriding a queued state or a unprioritized seed. So this is not a bug but intentional. Notice how you can also set a already running (downloading or seeding) torrent to "Force Start" in the context menu.ByeCreat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Exactly. It's very intentional, and i think it should be that way - thats exactly whats forcing means, you're pushing it out of the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowman Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 If you change your seeding priority ratio globally it will not affect seeding priority on a stopped torrent already loaded... change seeding on the torrent properties. then just start it instead of force start.

FordP929 Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Alrighty, I just thought when you forced it to start that is all you were doing. I thought it would still abide by the global options.From what I gather from the responses. If you set the individual properties the torrent should still abide by them. If I'm wrong please tell me, so I know and other people who search this post may know.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creat Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 those global options aren't as global as you might think (yet), as you can read herebyeCreat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Does not matter for forced tasks. Forced tasks keep working until you stop them, which is exactly the point of being forced, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
