Zarxrax Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 I usually keep my torrents paused, and only seed them when they need it. However when I reboot my computer (or restart utorrent), ALL of my torrents will start seeding. Now its not that huge of a deal to go in and pause them myself, but the problem is that I usually don't remember that I need to. It's usually only brought to my attention when complains to me that my file transfers are slow as hell (because utorrent is eating all the bandwidth).So yea, it would be nice if utorrent could just remember the state of each torrent when it closes.
Firon Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 Why don't you keep them stopped instead of paused or something? It doesn't start stopped torrents.
Zarxrax Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Posted February 7, 2006 Ok, I didn't know it worked for stopped torrents.But if they are stopped it wont continue to update the seeds/peers listing will it? Then I wont know when they need seeding, right?
Firon Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 turn on bt.scrape_stopped and it will continue to update the listing (every time it scrapes the tracker)It's in advanced options.
Zarxrax Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Posted February 7, 2006 Ok thanks, that sounds like a fine solution.But then, exactly what is the purpose of "pause"?
Firon Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 To pause the torrent for that session and not drop all the connections. It also doesn't send a stopped message to the tracker (the torrent is still technically active)
Ultima Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 Hm... never noticed the bt.scrape_stopped option... it doesn't work for torrents newly added in stopped mode, right? At least it didn't seem to work in that situation here...Scratch that, must have been the tracker. Worked fine for another torrent. Bleh.
