SumGuy7 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 When I change the status of a completed torrent to "Finished", is my "presence" or my IP address still advertized with respect to that torrent? Am I still listed as a seed? Does the answer depend on my settings for "Enable DHT network", "Local peer discovery", or "peer exchange" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumGuy7 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Then explain this.I have about 2-dozen torrents that are "finished". I have 3 that are "stopped". uT is showing no apparent UL or DL activity.I reset my dsl connection to obtain a new IP address. I then started watching my router's in-coming and out-going connection logs. For a few minutes, there was no activity.Then I started to see lots of activity on my uT in-bound port from external IP addresses. About one per second. I'm seeing a lot of the same IP's in both the in-bound and out-bound logs, indicating that external IP's are connecting to my uT port and uT is talking back to them.Again I ask, is this because I have an inventory of torrents (and their current "finished" or "stopped" state is irrelevant) or is this because I have "DHT network", "Local peer discovery", and "peer exchange" enabled?Otherwise, please explain the activity I see in my router logs if uT is currently not seeding or downloading any torrents.

DreadWingKnight Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 DHT is probably causing the traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
