Larfin_Man Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Sorry if this is really simple, but uTorrent doesn't let my torrents seed if there are any tasks downloading. I'm not sure if it's something simple in 'Preferences' but i couldn't find anything to make this work.Help appreciated.Also, when a torrent is seeding, it only seeds at 3KB/s and goes down to 0KB/s over and over. From 3 to 0 in 2 seconds on an eternal loop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Do the downloading torrents stay 'queued'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larfin_Man Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 No, they say "Downloading" and when i start the completed torrent to seed, it says "Queued Seed" for a second and changes to "Seeding" but doesn't seed unless i stop any tasks that are downloading.

Ultima Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Ehm... so you mean the upload rate is 0 for that torrent until you stop any downloading torrents? Are you connected to any peers? What does the Speed Guide show your current settings to be, and what are your connection's maximum upload/download rates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larfin_Man Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 No, rather than it going at 0KB/s, it doesn't say a speed because it doesn't connect to any peers until i stop the tasks that are downloading.I didn't use the speedguide because it doesn't have a choice for my connection. I have a connection of 512/128, which is weird because usually the upload is half of the download speed, not a quarter. Is the problem because i didn't choose a connection type in the speedguide?These are my Bandwidth and Queuing Settings: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Of course it's bad to dont configure the Speed Guide.Speed Guide is general (maybe your max UL speed is not printed) but you can configure better in Settings > Bandwidth.To configure Bandwidth, look at this thread:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=34259You need to know your max UL speed in kbit/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 xx/128k is what you're supposed to be selecting. And I'm not understanding what you mean by half vs quarter of your download rate O_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larfin_Man Posted November 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 sorry, i didnt realize you needed to set the speedguide, it just seemed like using it gave u some recommended settings but now i see you actually need to use it.In Reply to Ultimawell usually for a connection, the upload rate is half of the download rate, but mine is a quarter. not related, i just felt like mentioning it i guess.anyway, problem solved, thanks guys.

Ultima Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Actually, it's usually not even close to half for most users. In my case, I have a 10mbit/s download rate with 384kbit/s upload -- a ratio of more than 25:1 download to upload. Consider yourself lucky in that respect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
