minesadab Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Hi,I'd find it useful if when the seeding finishes and the torrent is stopped (eg. the ratio gets to 100% or whatever you set it to), if it could be unloaded and the files moved to another (yet another!) directory.It would just make maintance easier as I'd know that the files in that directory could be deleted/archived and I wouldn't even have to go into uTorrent (very useful when running uTorrent on a server or something).Anyway, congratulations on a excellent program!Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 So you want another move completed option but for when its finished seeding instead?Guess I misunderstood the first time, sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAStheLoD Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Yeah, it would be great. Say so, if the torrent reaches 1.5 ratio, then stop it and move to a specified directory.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minesadab Posted December 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Yeah, thats it. Also, the torrent could be removed from the main list in uTorrent. Basically, once its finished seeding, it moves the file and closes the torrent completely.It would mean that once the file arrives in the [finished seeding] directory, I know that it is no longer in use by uTorrent and I can do want I want with it (delete it, move it etc.).

Ghost21 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 So it's like 1 folder for downloading torrents, another for completed but seeding, then another for totally completed and removed from torrents list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 So it's like 1 folder for downloading torrents, another for completed but seeding, then another for totally completed and removed from torrents list?Looks like it, heh. Seems a bit convoluted.. why do you really need this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minesadab Posted December 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 OK its pretty simple - if I just keep downloading torrents, my disk gets full. So I go to delete some files, but half of them are still seeding. This means that I have to go through each file in uTorrent, finding the ones that have finished seeding, delete them in uTorrent, then go to the corresponding downloaded file and copy it to DVD etc.uTorrent is running on a machine tucked away in the basement, without a monitor. With my suggestion, I could just archive/delete the files in this new directory every so often and that would be it. I dont actually have any need for the current ability to split the downloading/downloaded files - ultimately I just want to be able to split those files in use by uTorrent and those that aren't.To remove the need for a third directory this could be implemented by including an option to only move the file to the "downloaded" folder once seeding has finished (ie. its met its ratio/time criteria).

PAStheLoD Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 So it's like 1 folder for downloading torrents' date=' another for completed but seeding, then another for totally completed and removed from torrents list?[/quote']Looks like it, heh. Seems a bit convoluted.. why do you really need this?A lots of things that one can download comes in ~40-50 big rars, and thats a hell of a diskspace. If something reached 1,5 ratio then I usually delete the files.. of course before this the rars already extracted Now i have to check every directory/file in my dowloads folder to be sure, that i can delete them.. and if you have more than 10 torrents running at the same time, that can be a lilttle difficult, and boring ..

1c3d0g Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Don't you hate it when people do that? :/ RAR 50-100 (or more!) stupid files, all of 'em spread all over your damn disk clamoring for your attention... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 1c3d0g, there's a reason for it...BitTorrent's hashing algorithm is pretty good, but the fact remains that people still get corrupted downloads from time to time, and RARs help to make this problem a lot easier to resolve...Also RARs are helpful for partial seeding which a lot of people use as a ratio booster on private sites..

1c3d0g Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 But I feel they should use no more than say 25 pieces or so, I mean...one torrent I downloaded a few months ago had like 150 or so of those stupid files...arghhh!!! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Usually those rars come from Usenet, and they keep the files the same as the original release for consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAStheLoD Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Yeah, I understand the scene-rules for releases, that's why they rar everything, and then upload to ftp-s .. then , you know I've got 680Gigs of harddrive, but I don't want to have 300 for RARs and 300 for extracted/upacked stuff.. and I've written the reason why I (and a lots of ppl, who haven't realised their need yet ^.^) wants this feature So ludde should implement it.

BuZu Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 I second that.It would be nice for a torrent to have 3 stages:downloadingseedingfinishedA directory for each one would be nice to be configured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 The first two are already present. "Move completed" moves after the download finishes, iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAStheLoD Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Yes, so I write it down again, that this isn't a big deal to implement .. maybe someday it will be in a release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
