Is it possible to seed to 1 IP?

[lil_john_boy]

Hi,

I was wondering if you could seed to just 1 IP cause I want to seed to my friend so he gets all the files faster hehe =P So is it possible? If yes, how? Thank You Very Much!

For as far as I know that is not posible.

Peer prioritization = bad.

XD nooo it rox ^^ I found out how to do it but it's with Azureus... but I LUV uTorrent.. azureus kind of sux in my oppinion =P

Actually it is bad. You aren't letting the protocol do the work that it's designed to in a misguided attempt to help the speed of one person (which doesn't actually help as much as you'd think) at the cost of the speed of dozens of people.

Oh, I see but I just wanna let my friend download it faster and am not planning to help others downloading, I know this is unfair and I find it nice that uTorrent doesn't have Peer prioritization but I was wondering if it was possible ^^ O and DreadWingKnight, it does help ^^ he suddenly dled much faster about 50kb/s more =D

PS: XD I'm Evil?

u can use ipfilter to block all the other peers manually

.. or an external program for that matter..

0_0 how do I use ipfilter then?

Or just block the tracker by editing the traker listing in the torrent file from inside µTorrent.

Right-click on the .Torrent listed in the top window of µTorrent, and choose Properties.

Copy and Paste the URLs there to a TEXT file if you wish to add them back later!

Delete the URLs, so the torrent doesn't try to connect to the trackers and get other peers/seeds.

Right-click on the torrent, choose Advanced, Clear Peer List.

Click the PEERS window tab at middle-left of µTorrent's window.

Right-click in the Peers window, and click Add Peer...

Add your friend's ip address WITH port number there.

NOTE: Your friend's connection MUST be unfirewalled for this to work!

Then START that torrent.

It should connect to just that 1 ip.

disable DHT and PEX on that torrent so you don't end up getting more peers... your friend doesn't have to, but you would... if you only want to connect to him and only him.
