AciDSuN Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I have a torrent-file.I Set: Seed While <= 150% or seeding time <= (Ignore), when torrent has 1.5 ratio it stop. All right.But, when I put at Properties of torrent: Seed While <= 150% or seeding time <= 96 hours, and when torrent has 1.5 and I seed only 2 hours, torrent never STOP!And when I put at Properties of torrent: Seed While <=150% or seeding time <= 1hour, and when torrent has ratio < 1.5 and I seed more then 1 hour, torrent never STOP!Is it Bug or I don't understand something?Sorry for my bad English.

Firon Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 as long as either condition is not true, it doesn't stop. And yes, or is the correct word, just that it's a bit different from what we expect. Blame programmer's logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillJack Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I noticed today that when I tell uTorrent to Seed While, for a specific torrent, it ignores my settings - I set it for 200% and when I came home, it was up over 300% (not a bad thing, but when I'm limited on transfers each month, I have to pick and choose).So, I grabbed 425 today and now I am seeding another torrent. For testing (I never seed only to 105%) I right-click and choose Properties... I set it to Seed While Ratio is <= 105% or seeding time is (Ignore). It's now up to 1.105 (which is 110.5% I assume) and is still humming along at full speed... Wth? Shouldn't it stop?System-wide seed-while settings work ok, but it appears torrent-specific settings are broken?Oh, and how about adding in some torrent-specific "When Torrent has reached the seeding goal" override settings? As I said, only certain torrents I want/need to stop, the rest can just continue on their merry way - I don't want all torrents to slow to a limited upload/stop completely when each torrent has reached the seeding goal, only specific ones...

Firon Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Did you set "Limit the upload rate to" and write 0?http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#How_can_I_make_.C2.B5Torrent_stop_seeding_at_a_specific_share_ratio.3Fhttp://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#What_does_Force_Start_do.3F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillJack Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 No, because I don't want the auto-stop to apply to all torrents, only ones where I right-click and set torrent-specific Properties...Nevermind, I get it now...In Options / Preferences / Seeding Priority I have Ratio is <= -1 and Seeding time is (Ignore). And When Torrent has reached seeding goal: 0 (stop torrent).So now, all torrents will continue on forever, but If I right-click a specific torrent and tell it to Seed While / Override and set it to 200% and (Ignore), it *should* stop at 2.00 right?...what a goofy way of doing this.

Firon Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Yes, they will all keep going unless you specifically set a manual ratio the way you set it up.If you put a ratio of 200% in the individual torrent's properties, then it'll stop at 200%. (2.000)The ratio means nothing except to give an ETA to reach that ratio unless you have the "Limit the upload rate to" option on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frosty99 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hi Firon,(using utorrent 1.8 beta 10524). I understand how the seed ratio configuration works, and I think I understand why utorrent is not behaving as I would want it to. The problem probably is with the definition for "seed". If I understand correctly, the "seeding ratio" does not apply if the torrent is still downloading?What i see now is a 700MB torrent, 400MB downloaded, and 555MB uploaded (ratio is 1.374= 137.4%), even though i set 45%.So i guess this is either a bug or a new feature request.I was hoping to use the "seed ratio" to avoid overcharge by my ISP (I have limits of 20Gig D/L and 10 Gig U/L). I used to limit this manually through the utorrent upload rate, but this was some work and actually not as nice to others as I could be. A "ratio" feature (vs "seeding ratio") would allow me to give as much as I can without worrying.Also, as I was reading through this thread it occurred to me that it might be simpler to use a single unit for the ratio, i.e. percentage or decimals, e.g. config max to 20%, see current as 10% (just to be clear, right now I configure a percentage but I see x.xx on my torrent).Thanks for your time and for making a great software,Frosty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Old thread... When you finish the torrent, it checks the queue rules. You can't control your ratio while downloading unless you limit your download/upload by going to the individual torrent properties.Be sure to check out Ultima's sticky and follow post #2 ... it includes options you can turn off if you are on a quota. Be sure you also have conservative settings for your connection.As far as your suggestion... Ctrl-P -> Queueing -> Seeding Rules are all in %, it's already in 1 unit.

frosty99 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hi jewelishheaven, thanks for your reply.Ok, I understand the current limitation during downloading state. Should I post this as a feature request?As far as my suggestion: Yes, all the configuration for seed ratio is in percentage. No problew there. However, in each torrent's "ratio" column, its shows as decimals. This is what i meant. I was suggesting that both configuration (Ctrl+P and individual torrents) and display (or current status) of the torrents would use the same units. In my example above, I would have configured 45%, and 555MB/400MB would show me a ratio of 137.4%, not the number 1.374.ThanksFrosty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camon Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 hi reviving thishow can i ignore ratio % in seed while?i would like to have my torrents stoped when they are seeding for 4 days and ignore de ratio % Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Read the user manual? It spells it out pretty explicitly:Setting this value to 0 tells µTorrent to ignore this value and look only at the seeding time limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camon Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 yes i've done that, but they don't stop.i put ratio <= 0 and time <= 4320 (3 days)I said 4 but where 3 i have a torrent seeding with 0.000 ratio and elapsed time of 3d 17h, and it doesn't stop.

tazz_ Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 In theory looks great but i never succeed with this option -- yes, even in column "ETA" shows time until reaching the seeding goal ... but never really stops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
