MechR Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I see that 1.2.1 no longer scrapes stopped torrents by default... Fortunately, the devs put bt.scrape_stopped in the advanced settings, giving us the choice to turn it back on Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boo Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 scraping is turned on by default as before, btw =bt.scrape_stopped This enables/disables scraping the tracker for torrents that have been stopped (not queued). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdArmor Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Scraping is basically just recieving the amount of seeds/peers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animorc Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 And getting the status from the tracker so that you will know if the torrent was deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoovious Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 And getting the status from the tracker so that you will know if the torrent was deleted.It isn't that reliable for finding that out tho. Some trackers don't do scraping, so you won't know if any peers are active without announcing.Don't rely on a scrape to determine a dead .torrent. Make the .torrent active for a couple hours, and if you didn't have any activity, then it is probably abandoned.Just because you don't show any seeds/peers doesn't mean there won't be one along. µTorrent isn't the only client that cycles through the seed queue, so there is a worthwhile chance to just keep an idle torrent active just in case one pops up later.-- Smoovious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
