ruserious Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Completed torrents automatically move to seeding but should not be allowed to bypass the scheduler settings as they have traditionally done (in all release I have used including 1.7 RC2 2999!)Thanks.

ruserious Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 If I have downloading (non-forced start) torrents that are stopped by the scheduler then I have no upload or download traffic through my ISP and they are happy because I can only do P2P during non-peak times. If I "force start" that download it can bypass the scheduler (both with or without DHT and peer-to-peer exchange).When any download completes it goes into the equivalent of "force start" and even though all other torrents are "stopped by scheduler" those recently completed are still uploading effectively bypassing the scheduler until I manually change them or stop and restart uTorrent.Or, maybe this is a bug and not a feature RUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Force Start does it intentionally. Anyway, this won't change. Don't use force start if you don't want it to ignore the scheduler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruserious Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I agree that is what "forced start" does and when uTorrent completes a download and starts seeding it does the same thing and ignores the scheduler! Try it.RUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 A force started torrent doesn't drop its forced status when it changes to seeding.A torrent with the forced status ignores the scheduler.This is by design and won't be changed.

ruserious Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I'm saying a normally completed (non-forced) download "acts the same as forced".Try it guys.RUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Not at all. I just tried it, and any unforced, seeding torrents simply went into Queued seeding mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruserious Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I may not understand all the implications of that statement. Are you stating that this problem does not exist in the 1.6.1 (stable) release or is normal? I'm currently at work and am unable to verify myself.Maybe I didn't regression test enough (I thought I tried 1.6.1 but I could be in error as I tried many things while under pressure from my ISP) but this behavior exists in 1.7.x (betas including RC2) if so, then this thread should be moved to the appropriate beta bug report sub-forum and I will edit accordingly.RUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 As an aside, on a cross-issue:There definitely NEEDS to be a way to change a force started torrent to a regular started torrent WITHOUT stopping and restarting it....If there is a way, please tell me!

Ultima Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 @ruserious: I'm saying the problem doesn't exist (or at the very least, I can't reproduce it). For non-forced torrents that are seeding, they get stopped properly (rather, set to Queued Seed) for any block of time configured to be "Turn off" in the Scheduler.
