bene Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Hi!I'm missing a feature in µTorrent 1.3:A control to manually completely stop download a torrent but still upload/seed.I'm a member of a Antileech-Tracker and wonder about these hundreds of MB's that goes to nowhere... I't destroys my ratio :/Sorry if this were posted already, but i couldn't find it. Bye..Bene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayers Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I remember someone making an identical(?) request and the solutions was to double click the torrent and adjust it's properties to download 1 kB/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bene Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I don't mean the main downloadspeed, but the "backstage" downloadspeed, that that you don't see or whatever.. u know?I mean the seeding torrents which are downloading at 0.1 kB/s and so on. It would be better if u can stop that at seeding torrents and at downloading torrents, in summary it causes many more mb's of downloadtraffic.Sorry for my bad english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICleolion Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I havent used the selective downloading feature in UTorrent yet. But if telling UTorrent to not download a file doesnt delete all the data you have already downloaded for that file (like BitTornado), and therefore allows you to resume where you left off when you change the files priority back, then i would suggest doing that to stop your torrent from downloading.Of course it would be simpler if a proper feature was coded in for this purpose. I wouldnt really be for or against it.EDIT: After reading your second post i'm actually not sure if my suggestion applies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bene Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Got a better word for it, "Overhead traffic".It'd be great if there were a feature to stop it.ICleolion: With your solution you can't resume the download of the torrent later and get proper data.EDIT: When will http://www.niteshdw.com/utorrent/ work again?

ICleolion Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Overhead traffic can not be stopped. Even when seeding you still need to communicate with the peers you are connected to. This bandwidth is negligible, but if you want to reduce it negligibly then i would suggest uploading& connecting to fewer peers. But im just guessing that that will actually reduce it.

foxyshadis Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 If you have hundreds of megs added while you're seeding, though, either your tracker is broken or someone hijacked your account. That level of overhead would take weeks to accrue. (Trackers aren't supposed to care about overhead anyway, just downloaded bytes. But not all trackers are made equal.)
