acheron66 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I have my queuing seed defaults set to Ratio is: <= -1 and Seeding time is: IgnoreThe torrents were working fine, but I needed to move a few files to another directory, so I stopped them, moved the files, set the new Download Location for them and then restarted them. The files all checked successfully, but they all went to a status of "Queued Seed". I thought maybe I needed to wait for the next torrent update, so I ignored it for a few hours.When they continued in this status for several hours, I started looking at them a bit closer. There are no queuing over-rides on the individual torrent properties. They have very low ratios (.05 and .03 on a couple of them and all are under 1.000). They all have several peers. I'm nowhere near my connection count limits.If I change these "problem children" to Forced Start, they start uploading to the swarm, but if I again stop and restart them, they insist on returning to Queued Seed instead of Seeding.All my other torrents that I haven't manually overridden remain in Seeding status (which is what I understood should happen when you set the seed ratio to -1.)Can anyone tell my why stopping/moving/restarting a torrent should cause them to drop to Queued Seed status and ignore the seeding rules or is there something else I'm missing?Thanks much!

DreadWingKnight Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 What about your queue settings for number of torrents and number of downloads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acheron66 Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 They are set to 6 max active and 3 max download, but I normally have 10 or 15 in "Seeding" status, but only 2 or 3 are actively uploading at any given time.I want them to stay in Seeding status so they remain active in the swarms because these are private trackers and I want to continue to upload even when the ratios get over 150%.If I understand the FAQ correctly, setting the Seed While Ratio is <= -1 forces them to stay in Seeding mode, which is what I prefer for my private trackers. It seems that I get more upload traffic if they remain Seeding (as opposed to Queued Seed), but I'm certainly no expert on how all this works behind the scenes. All I know for sure is that these were all sitting in Seeding status until I stopped/moved/restarted them. It's probably no big deal, but I thought it was curious.Thanks.

DreadWingKnight Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 You won't have more active torrents than your queue settings permit.uT will automatically cycle between ones that have not reached their seeding goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acheron66 Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I guess I don't understand the terminology correctly.I currently have only 3 actively uploading, but 10 torrents have a status of "Seeding" (green up-arrow), which is why I didn't think Seeding = active.The 4 I stopped and re-started are now Queued Seed (gray up-arrow). Maybe if you would explain this from the FAQ, that might help:"-1 is used so you can have all torrents seed forever by default, and let you manually set a seeding ratio on each individual torrent's properties so that only those torrents stop."Sorry if I'm being dense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Torrent tasks beyond your queue setting allowed limits will go into a queued state until the currently active tasks cycle out for whatever reason.If a seeding task is uploading less than 1kbyte/sec, it is not actively counted towards the queue totals, even though it does have a "Seeding" state.
