nikhilkerala Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 I have faced this situation many many times and I am sure that most of us have. Sometimes I get very rare and unavailable content's torrent. But the seeder may be one single person and so the torrent downloads only when that person is online. Sometimes it takes 10 to 20 days to download one such 1 GB torrent. So we cant waste bandwidth for all these days, so we give other simultanious fast downloads. But the problem is that, when the seeder comes online, uTorrent will be using the whole bandwidth for the other torrents and so we wont get any good download from the seeder, before he is offline again.So My question isIs there a way to set priority to a torrent such that it gets the maximum download bandwidth it can take and only the rest is given to the other torrents.Atleast, is it possible to pause all other torrents when the number of seeds for one special torrent is greater than 0 ?I think I conveyed it right...Please help...Any Ideas will be Godly....
jewelisheaven Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 You can tell the torrent's bandwidth allocation to be High. Unfortunately that will not guarantee any greater throughput on the torrent even with a connection to a seed. You can't force a seeder to send data faster.There is no function I know of which changes queue setting or priority based upon seed #. There is the queue handling for queue.prio_no_seeds which puts YOUR seeding at a higher preference when there are low seeders on a torrent.I'd expect something like this can be covered in the planned revamp for Scheduling in 1.9 uT.
nikhilkerala Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Posted March 28, 2008 Thank you very much for the reply.Generally, the "bandwidth allocation" setting in utorrent doesn't seem to have any effect at all. An example of what I want is the master-slave food sharing concept where the master can eat as much as he wants and the slave gets only the left overs, if any.I wish if I could set a torrent as master and all others as slave in utorrent This is what actually the 'bandwidth allocation setting = high' should have done.Is there any advanced settings variables like the queue.prio_no_seeds to achieve the above goal ?
