rustypanda Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 I have 2 computers both running uTorrent over very slow internet connections. I load exactly the same torrent files onto both machines and leave them downloading over the internet for a few days. Since they are switched on at different times of day they end up with different fragments of each partially completed torrent.Every week or so I connect the 2 computers together using a LAN. I had expected uTorrent on each computer to recognise the other machine as a peer and for them to synchronise any partially downloaded data they have, using the LAN rather than uploading/downloading using the internet. Is this what should happen and, if so, any suggestions as to why it's not working? The machines have non-conflicting IP addresses and can perform normal file and printer sharing.
rustypanda Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Posted October 16, 2007 I don't have either machine with me to confirm, but if it's not on by default then no. Having googled it, that looks exactly like my problem. Thanks for the info.I told you it was a dumb question...
