siro Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Great to see the requested seeding only option already integrated into the scheduler. It's not working properly yet, though. Right now I'm having 3 finished files and 2 downloading in µtorrent with "seeding only" set in the scheduler. I'm still getting about 5-35kb/s download in sum on those two unfinished files though.

Firon Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 So the blocks turned red and you're sure the scheduler is actually active?And how long has it been in that seed-only mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siro Posted February 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Yes, the scheduler is active.All blocks are that 'fade rose' style.It had been the same effect, if restarting the torrent, restarting utorrent or when I had the torrent running for an hour or two.Having those two mentioned files still in download, one ups at 560k at about 2 kb d/l, the other one at 400k with 16kb d/l download.Also capping the dl of one them severely doesn't rid of the effect totally, but almost.The download rate is heavily fluctuating (between mentioned speeds) and seem to become lower nearing file completion.Also note that the 'Downloaded' value actually progresses (slowly of course). So it's definitely not only the overhead caused by uploading.Unfinished files still connect to other seeds.*edit: I also added a new torrent (28.8 mb) with still being in seed only mode. It got to 5% completion in 5 minutes. Of course turning of the scheduler, thus changing to 'normal' mode, the file finished in an additional two minutes.

Firon Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 This should be working right in the next beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evolution3 Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 i love this feature, it has saved me from my isp, which stops my uploading as soon as i start seeding (I can seed fine as long as im downloading). I am also downloading a little bit, while in seed only, but i actually like this. My question, and i know its been asked before, is why if i cap my download, why doesnt my upload behave like it does with this seed only option. I would like to be able to cap my download, but keep my upload at its full. Just curious how this 'seed only' works, compared to capping my download. One more question. Is there a way i can bypass the schedular? i.e. so i can have some of the torrents on the schedule, while others can ignore it. Does force start work?Thanks for all the hard work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Capping your download won't work because it doesn't leave enough bandwidth left over for BT protocol data, it has to compete with downloaded data and there's just not enough to go around, so the speeds crash.And um, Force Starting should bypass it. Not sure though, it might not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
