bigbadbertha Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I have read through the fact and couldn't find any mention of this.Is there anyway to set the download limit of a torrent to a true 0, so it can still seed. If you right click a torrent and try and set it's speed entering the value of zero it is set to the default of unlimited. Just wondering if there was any way to do this.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hofshi Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 you can go to the "files" tab, Ctrl-A to select all files, and right click select "don't download" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbertha Posted February 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 When I want to start downloading again ... will changing the files back to their original download priority work just fine ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Or you can use the Scheduler's new seeding only mode. http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#How_can_I_make_.C2.B5Torrent_go_into_a_seeding_only_mode_on_all_torrents.3F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hofshi Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 yes. But Firon's suggestion is probably better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Of course, the scheduler makes ALL torrents go into seeding mode (except ones that you Force Start, those continue downloading). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbertha Posted February 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Firons suggestion does sound alot better, though I am unable to use the beta version at the moment, so will have to wait until a stable version is released.Thanks for all the help guys.

jroc Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 you can go to the "files" tab, Ctrl-A to select all files, and right click select "don't download"See, this was my controversial work-around for ppl who are throttled by their ISP. What I would do:Download the file to as close to 99% as possible without finishing it. Then set it to dont download. My first experience with throttling was I could only upload while downloading. After finish downloading the file, my up speeds would drop after 5-15 min then go to zero. For some reason, this way allowed me to continue to upload and contribute to the torrent site. My ISP somehow didnt recognize this. Im guessing they were only throttling up speeds and it still looked like I was downloading to them. Dont ask me how do I know, cuz its a guess. But this method worked for me til I was up n running normal again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
