roman Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I am trying to get Utorrent to stop uploading certain torrents that I download. How can I configure this and still seed all the other 90+ torrents I still have active in my p2p? Any suggestions would help a lot..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 You'll need a very fast internet connection to effectively seed 90+ torrents at once.Certainly faster than a BitTorrent-crippled one like Rogers, ComCast, or Cox!They may reduce upload speeds while seeding to single digits. A good rule of thumb is you need ~3 KiloBYTES/second per upload slot...and since each torrent typically is allowed 2 or more upload slots each, then to seed 100 torrents with 2 upload slots each would need 600 KiloBYTES/second upload speed -- or 5 megabits/second upload bandwidth. This assumes the torrents are actively uploading. If there's seldom peers on most of the torrents, then you can use the advanced settings to ignore "slow" torrents as far as counting them as active is concerned.

roman Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Smooth. I took that advice and went into uTorrent and did a little bit of deleting and tweaking, hopefully that will improve upload speeds on my other torrents. I would really like to know how you single out individual torrents you don't want to upload at all. Somethings I find on uTorrent I only want to download, not upload. Is there anyway I can do that? Or is uTorrent wired to upload at all costs, being it is a p2p networking program thing-a-ma-jiggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I just STOP torrents I don't want to continue uploading.I only run about 2-5 torrents at a time. Usually, only 1 of those torrents has peers on it.BitTorrent REQUIRES you to upload...you can stop a torrent after it's done downloading, but it's necessary to upload till then.You can set seeding torrents as less important than downloading torrents in advanced settings...I think the v1.8 beta even gives more control over that.You can set in queueing how many torrents you want seeding or downloading at once -- those are active torrents, very slow torrents don't count against it. So if 20 torrents are started and you allow 5 active torrents, then you might have 8-10 torrents "active" but only 5 are uploading/downloading faster than 1 KiloBYTE/second...because the others have no peers.
