davexnet Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Hello, I have 9 or 10 torrents "seeding" (although only 2 are actually uploading anything)My "max number of active torrents" is 4, and my upload bandwidth is not maxed out.(no downloads are active)Yet, At least 3 of the those seeding torrents have 0 peers, while some of the"queue seeds" have > 0 peers, yet they don't start, while the torrents with 0 peers,remain seeding.What is this behavior? Shouldn't the 0 peer seeds be automatically set back to queued, and some of the other queued seeds be made active ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Have you checked preferences, queueing to give seeding torrents higher priority than downloading...and preferences, advanced settings for queue.dont_count_slow_ul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davexnet Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 queue.dont_count_slow_ul is set to true, and no downloads are active. Does you firstpoint apply?I don't know why it's doing it.To me, leaving torrents seeding when there are 0 peers to connect to, whiletorrents that are "queued seed" but actually have peers doesn't make much sense.Surely, if I'm to maximize my upload, they should switch places ASAP.

Switeck Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 If queue.dont_count_slow_ul is set to true, then more torrents should start seeding...at least till you hit max ACTIVE torrents. Do note that if they even have very low down and up speeds they still qualify as "active". (You can set the thresholds though in advanced settings.)

davexnet Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Hi Switeck,yes I see what you mean. After about 15 minutes (approx) more of them open up.It seems Utorrent doesn't handle the 0 peer- seeding torrents as a special case and get rid ofthem sooner (revert them to "queued seed")Wouldn't that be preferable behavior ?

Firon Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 It doesn't requeue anything but active torrents once you exceed the limit of active torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davexnet Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I'm suggesting that the status should be changed from "seeding" to "queued seed".What's the good of it actively seeding it when there are no leechers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Because it only queries the tracker so often to know if there's new peers. Might be up to an hour between each scrape, potentially more. So in that hour, a peer could come and go and you've seeded nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 If the torrent is not seeding (even with no peers) and updating with the tracker, the tracker does NOT hand out your ip to new peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
