Iceman_B Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 Using v1.3 build 364The seeding preferences have been set to:Seed while ratio <= 101%, time is ignored.The limit upload rate on completion has been disabled, since I sometimes seed to distribute files and I'd like to pump in bytes for as long as possible(think ratios between 3:1 and 6:1)This is what I did:Loaded a torrent, I overrided the seeding options(even though perhaps it wasn't neccesary), the file completed downloading.Now, am I right to assume that the torrent should have stopped at a seeding ratio of 1.010?Can anyone help me explain why the torrent is still seeding?
Firon Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 Did you check "Limit the upload rate to" and write 0 in the box in Seeding Priority?Seeding Priority does nothing unless you check that box (doesn't have to be 0 though)
Iceman_B Posted December 22, 2005 Author Report Posted December 22, 2005 Actually I didn't, I assumed that once the limit set in the override(102%) would have been reached, that the torrent would stop.The option clearly says "Seed WHILE", hence my assumtion.If I understand you correctly, I should set the default behaviour in the prefs(upload rate of 0 at x ratio) and then override them in case I want to specify other behaviour for a torrent?This is what I'm trying to get uTorrent to do:Every new torrent I add that needs downloading: seed at 12 KB/s until ratio is 101% <-- default behaviourEvery torrent that I SEED: seed at specific rate, 60KB/s in most cases and keep seeding until I manually stop it. <-- manually overridenIs there any way to achieve this?If this could be achived by overriding, I think I'd need a ratio setting "Ignore" and seeding time "Ignore".The first one doesnt exist to my knowledge.How do I solve this? Should I just enter a seed ratio of 999% ? Perhaps an "indefinite" option should be added?(does anyone still follow this )Thanks!
Ultima Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 In the Settings, set the Ratio is: <= 101%, and when you want to ignore this limit, you can force the torrent.
