What does SEEDING [F] mean?

[dudeboyz]

I saw a message that said SEEDING [F] and don't know what it means. I tried a search but could not find the [F] thing. Could someone explain?

Thanks.

BTW, it would be really, really cool to have a separate PDF file or something that worked as a detailed product manual so we would not have to ask so many questions.

That might be forced seeding, if im not mistaken. Like forced downloading. I have no torrents at the moment to test this, tho.

[dudeboyz]

don't torrents auto-seed when done though?

[jroc]

They do. Thats why I wish I had some torrents ready for seeding to test this.........

If u have some torrents ready for seeding, hit force start and see what happens.

i believe it makes that torrent immune to the queue settings you have set in uTorrent..

Forced torrents bypass the queue and seeding priority settings.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Much appreciated.

I'm finding that for really popular torrents with lots of seeders (like TV shows) I seed for about 4 hours to be helpful. That in addition to it uploading the entire time I'm downloading.

With torrents that don't have very many seeders, like old time radio shows, I usually seed for 12 to 24 hours, sometimes longer depending, to help others get the entire download so they can seed if they have more upload speed. I only have 384k upload on my ADSL so am not as well equipped for lots of uploading / seeding by comparison.

Not if you happen to have the scheduler on when they're done...
