a6er Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Hi Will someone please answer my questions as after searching the FAQ i am none the wiser.I am uploading 3 movies,2 that i downloaded from Demonoid and 1 that i created a torrent for,all uploading on Utorrent.These are 700mb each.One of them has upload 745mb which is larger than the file itself.I thought it would stop uploading when it reached its file size.Also do i have to leave movies uploading once i have downloaded them as i am confused after reading that as you download a movie it also uploads at the same time.And one more thing,concerning the ratio,when will it increase.Does it only increase when every movie is fully uploaded( so if its a 700mb file will i have to upload more 700mb until ratio is changed)Really appreciate all help with this,been plodding on for 4 days now and still not got the hang of it.Cheers guys.

Ultima Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 By default, µTorrent will slow the upload rate down to 4KiB/s after it has uploaded 150% of the file size. If you want it to slow down after 100%, then set the default to that in the queueing preferences, or torrent job preferences. If you want it to stop uploading after it reaches 100%, then set "limit the upload rate to" to 0 in the queueing preferences.Ratio increases as long as you're uploading faster than you're downloading anytime during the transferring process. It usually goes up more quickly during seeding mode simply because by the time you're a seed, you're no longer downloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANewbie Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I've got:Ratio is <= 100 % or seeding time is: (Ignore)When uTorrent reaches the seeding goal:[Ticked box] Limit the upload rate to [0: stop] 0 kB/sAnd yet a torrent I'm currently downloading and uploading on has a ratio of 1.229 and is still seeding. What have I done wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Is it a forced-started torrent?Have you tried stopping that torrent manually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANewbie Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 It isn't forced, and I just tried stopping it manually to no effect. I also closed the program down and reopened it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Usually, when I stop a torrent it stays stopped unless I start it again.You telling me it automatically restarted itself?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANewbie Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I stopped it, manually started it again and it kept uploading. (I want to keep the torrent going because I'm also downloading it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Check the properties for the torrent and make sure it's not overriding the default seeding goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANewbie Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hmm well it just stopped a torrent I was seeing after it reached a ratio of 1, and the torrent I'm downloading/uploading isn't uploading as much as it was before. So I'll let it go for now and come back if I have anymore trouble. Thanks for the help though (Oh and no I hadn't overrided the default seeding goal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
