Torrents still downloading when in Seed Only mode

WIN XP

uTorrent 1.7.7 (8179)

I have set up the scheduler to download full speed during my ISP's off peak period. For the rest of the day I am happy to upload (seed) - unlimited ISP upload quota.

I have set the scheduler for Seed Only (Holding shift and turning the squares red).

However, the incomplete torrents still download, rather than just seed.

Is there a way to fix this?

Cheers

DR

Even uploading takes a small amount of download bandwidth, but the torrent will no longer be downloading more pieces after finishing whatever bits it was working on when Scheduler's seed-only mode started.

I typically see about 0.1 to 0.5 KB/sec down while uploading at 40-43 KB/sec.

That's what I initially thought. However it is more than the odd 0.1 or 0.2 kB/s - I ignore these as stated in the FAQ. And the download continues well after all the open pieces should be complete, hours after. The download will drop off from peak 130 -180 kB/s to 20-30 kB/s. Some individual torrents will stay at 5 - 10 kB/s throughout the entire 12 hour seed only time.
