Uzm Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I've noticed this once i was browsing through uTorrent options. And i was wondering about i checkbox, called "Seeding tasks have higher priority than downloading tasks (WHEN ALL DOWNLOADS ARE COMPLETED)".Since loads of people are using ratio-based torrent trackers, this feature would be great. When i am starting a new download, i need to, of course, download it quick, without having more upload speed and without extra uploading-slots and all that helping-to-seed-stuff.BUT, when all my downloads are completed, i want to give a kick to my uploading speed.So, would this do any good to uTorrent?

h0rnytoad1 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 that would be a great option to put in the scheduler aswell, set the value to ON or OFF according to time/date. Like for example my ISP is screwing with my speeds during the evenings, but they ramp up the speed starting at 2am until around 3pm (used to be 24h top speed believe it or not for unlimited dl/ul accounts !)with this option i could give priority to my seeds and full upload speeds up until 2am, then 80% of my upload so hopefully µt would download quick like crazy until they clamp down again (around 3pm the next day) and set it back to prio shares full ul, until 2am etc. You see a pattern here i'm surethe best thing would be to figure out how they slow me down and by pass it, but i figure this is the best use of my up/dl time for this slap in the face to their customers but otherwise if i set it to prio shares all the time its no fair to me as my own dl's wont download. and if i don't set it OFF then its not fair to others (and my ratios, ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzm Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 BUMP.Looks like this function wouldn't be any good, if we don't have any dev/mod response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 The scheduler has seed-only .. Hold Shift (in 1.7) or simply toggle it (current 1.8 alpha).It is also bad form to bump one's own thread. Besides the function ALREADY exists under Ctrl-P -> Queueing, so what changes are you asking about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h0rnytoad1 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 does the seed-only option stop downloads completely? i can still download during those throttling hours, not fast, but i can.So it needs to be changed to "prio seeds/shares", but not cut off dl completely. Then i think it would be fair for everyone and a welcome option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Seed Only means you will not download correct. If you wish to still download there is an option under Ctrl-P -> Queueing which says just as much... prioritize seeding tasks over downloads. If you don't want uT to even TRY to maximize your connection during shaped times you are better off setting up the limit speeds and times under the Scheduler.

Switeck Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 From what I understand, seed-only will continue downloading the last parts of any piece you've started on...but no more. With pieces possibly 4 MB in size, that still represents a LOT of downloading if you have lots of started but unfinished pieces. So predicting how it will work...is beyond me.
