swong Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Hello all,First off, I did a quick scan of the forum to see if my question has been answered elsewhere, and didn't see anything. So if my answer can be found anywhere else, a link is sufficient as a response, as I don't want to clog up the forums I also tried querying my problem in Google, but it is hard to put in words what the problem is.Basically, all I'm doing is SEEDING. I have no downloads at all. Yet I always seem to accumulate a download total. For instance, I left my uTorrent on throughout the day for SEEDING purposes only, there are no downloads. Then when I come back, I noticed I have over 20 MB of downloads. This happens all the time. For some reason, the files I am seeding sometimes perform a download rate of 0.1 kb/sec. The rate is small, and I guess this all gets accumulated to generate the 20 MB.How can I stop this? I even set my download rate to the smallest value possible (1 kb/sec), and doesn't really help.Am I wasting hard drive space by downloading unnecessary megabytes?Any info would be appreciated!

Blinding Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 It is in the FAQ:http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#Why_does_it_show_download_speed_when_seeding.3FBasically you are seeing protocol overhead, not actual downloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
