ColleenF-H Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hi,I am new! How long are you supposed to leave finished torrents in the queue to seed? After viewing the torrents I have been deleting them, is this bad etiquette? If I am asking in the wrong forum I apologize! Please any help would be great!Thanks,ColleenF-H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 By default the Ctrl-P -> Queueing settings are adequate... they keep the torrent seeding until 1.5 ratio and 90 minutes of seeding. You'll know when the torrents are no longer under Queue restrictions when the * in "#" column goes away. As a downloading torrent the # shows the queue order, once it goes to seeding it changes to * when the queue rules apply and when it's blank they have been satisfied.

Southwind Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hi. Is it considered rude not to forward ports? Shields Up says my computer is very stealthy and I'd like to keep it that way. But I also don't want to be thought of as a "leech". How disgusting.Does MicroTorrent automatically arrange for you to 'give' more than you receive?

Ultima Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Yes, µTorrent sets a default upload:download ratio of 1.5, meaning you'll upload 1.5 times as much as you download (assuming you don't manually stop the torrent).It's not really considered rude to not forward your port, but it's detrimental to you, still.

Southwind Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Thank you for your response, Ultima. I've been considering using file sharing for a while but I was worried about security. I've downloaded one very obscure item using 1.7.7 and it was slower than steam off of cold shit. I think it was a combination of me bolloxing up the settings and not forwarding a port. It DID work though. Thank you again for your response. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
