Uploads/Downloads

[primetime34]

I just switched from using Azureus to uTorrent (I was tired of using a resource hog). In Azureus, there was a setting so that if a torrent was at a seed speed of 0, it didn't count as an active torrent. So, if my maximum is 3 active torrents, then I could have three torrents downloading if none of my completed ones weren't uploading. Where is that setting on uTorrent? I have 5 uploading torrents, but only one is active. I have 4 downloading but none of them are downloading because there are "5" uploading torrents.

EDIT::

Okay, the problem is now slightly different. Nothing will download unless I force start it. I have paused all the completed torrents (there are 5 of them) and yet the ones not completed have not started downloading unless I force start them. What am I doing wrong?

It's enabled by default in µTorrent, and can be found in queue.dont_count_slow_* (where queue.slow_*_threshold is the threshold bytes/second for a torrent to be considered "slow").

So why aren't they downloading? (See the above edit)

It doesn't take effect immediately. Queue changes can sometimes take up to a minute.

Here's a screenshot of what is happening..it has been sitting this way for over 10 minutes now.

Any thoughts?

Oh, paused torrents I'm not really sure fall under that behavior. Why don't you just stop the torrent instead of pausing it? Pausing shouldn't be used for long enough that it'd cause other torrents to start anyway -- if you want to do that, then you might as well just stop it and let others go.

When I stopped them, they started working. However, why, if the ones that were 'seeding' but not really seeding, prevent anything from downloading? Here's another screenshot to explain:

It seems like only 1 of them should 'count' as an active torrent. So why aren't more torrents downloading?

What's your queue settings and advanced settings concerning queues?

It seems to be working now that I unchecked the "give priority to upload" box. Thanks for all the help!!
