CBTSamurai Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Greetings all.This may well be a dumb question, but I've got two torrents stuck at over 99% complete and not moving. There are literally thousands of both peers and seeders (about 45/55 ratio or so), but utorrent keeps connecting to peers who are missing the complete file. It's weird that all of them are missing the same parts of the complete file, but they are. I've been connected to 100 peers, and the share ratio of the file has been locked at 0.999 the whole time.Is there a way to get utorrent to cycle peers out in favor of seeders? If I could connect to one of them for all of 30 seconds, I'd have the damn file, but it's no go. I've tried stopping and starting the torrent a few times, but it keeps pickup peers, not seeders. Any ideas?Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Yah... And the answer to your question would be "no, there isn't any way to prioritize seeders, and it won't ever be added." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBTSamurai Posted February 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Thanks for your help. The torrents were real (two different torrents of the most recent episode of House, specifically), and one finally woke up and worked for me. Annoying that it took so long, but done and functional.Why not prioritize seeders? Wouldn't it make sense to try and get complete files? Frankly, if I just new that the program was at least *trying* to get ahold of seeders I wouldn't care so much. Does it cycle them on its own?

Switeck Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 It cycles through ALL possible ips on the torrent.However if the seeds are FIREWALLED, they can *NEVER* connect to them in that manner.Only when the seeders try to connect outward will any new connections be made to the firewalled seeds.

Terry_Norman Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I am new to torrent downloadingand want to do the right thing by those I download from. I currently have 2 downloaded files that are listed as Queued Seed. Does this meen that no one else is accessing them or that they can't access them. Do I have to change settings to fix a problem. Can someone help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
