okeee Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I'm new to internet programs so I was not sure about this:when you shut down utorrent, will all traffic (download and seeding files) stop as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Yes and no. uTorrent won't be making any more traffic, nor will your computer on uTorrent's behalf.BUT...seeds and peers you were connected to earlier may retry your ip number even after you shut uTorrent down.

okeee Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Ok, so the peers still have the information that i have or want that file, but there is no more access to this computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Pretty much correct.If you're still port forwarded but not running uTorrent, your computer will get incoming BitTorrent protocol packets...respond "I don't understand what you're saying, goodbye!"...and that's pretty much the end of it. Or it may not respond at all, depending on what firewall software you have and how windows networking is set up.You can't prevent peers/seeds from retrying your computer's internet ip after you close uTorrent...and even if that just hits your modem and dies there (instead of dying at your router or computer)...it's already used up a tiny amount of your download bandwidth. This might become a problem if there were 1000's doing this...per second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
