uTorrent icon explanation

[earthshaker]

I am new to this torrent stuff, I do prefer uTorrent to some other clients I have tried, but I have a question, in the uTorrent window I have on the left of my torrents, some icons?, green and blue triangles I figured out, but the green checkmark on one of them obvioulsy meens that the torrent is done downloading, and also done uploading, how did this icon appear?, it is probably something I did somewhere but I do not remember, how do I change it back to a green triangle so it is available for uploading?

You can right click and Force Start it =]

Your torrent is probably in a stopped state. You can simply click on the ▶ button.

Sounds to me like a seeding goal has been reached or something.. anything suspect pop up when double-clicking the torrent? Seed 'til 150% or something, and your ratio is already 1.5, or seed for xx hours where that time has already been reached?

[Ultima]

Yeah, I'm sure earthshaker knows to press start to start the torrent again -- probably needs to force it (like I said above) for the exact reason that splintax explained.

[earthshaker]

I think I understand, when my seeding requirement is done, then it "closes" that particular torrent, right?, How do I find what my seeding requirement is?

[1c3d0g]

Options ▶ Preferences... ▶ Seeding Priority. Look at the Ratio is: box...

[splintax]

It doesn't close it. It simply leaves it there in a "Finished" state (status) - not "Stopped".

[Ultima]

Finished is essentially stopped, isn't it? It's not doing anything with it -- neither uploading nor downloading, and it's not connected to any peers either.

Finished == Stopped

The only difference is that you see Stopped for downloads, and Finished for seeds.
