Scheduler question.....when turned off still has activity, why?

[su_jumptd]

Hello all,

I know this as probably been ask already...but thought I'd get some clarification.

When I activate my scheduler do turn on at night time everything is good but during the daytime hours when its configured to turn off there is still activity going on. Is this supposed to be like this or is "all" activity supposed to be completely shut down. Some clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Did you tell it to stop DHT as well?

Did you start any torrents with FORCE start, which overrides Scheduler's stop times?

You could also get incoming connections even when stopped, though uTorrent should quickly drop them. But individually those should be very little bandwidth.

Thanks for the input,

I have disabled DHT and removed torrents that I've forced but still getting a constant D:0.80 U:20. I'm all about spreading the joy but is there a way of cutting off D/U activity completely with the scheduler?

Thanks again for the assistance.

What about RSS feeds?

Is the DL/UL coming from constant incoming connections, or is it actually DLing/ULing pieces of your torrents?

[su_jumptd]

Good question where would I find the RSS feeds on utorrent...didn't know it had that option.

How would I check for look for the other stuff you described.

Here is a picture of what I'm seeing....in my torrent list under the label "download" & "upload" its not showing any activity at all and all torrents are grayed out. But in the upper left corner of my screen there is D:0.89k U:0.47 does this mean that things are still active?

What does Logger window/tab show?

(right-click in that window and enable all but the verbose stuff...)

[su_jumptd]

Sorry for the delayed response. I let the logger run for a couple of minutes this is what it kicked out.

None of those incoming requests (except maybe the BitComet-only DH3 encrpytion) are for torrents you have active at that time. But those incoming requests still have some bandwidth costs.

These are a few seconds apart typically, so even if each is 1-5 KB they shouldn't keep your connection constantly active...only tiny bursts of activity.

[su_jumptd]

Cool, would be nice if all activity was cut off so I don't have to worry about any intrusions or anything. Well if that's the way its got to be I can live with that.

Thanks again.

The other ends retry your ip in their torrent ip peer lists. So long as your ip exists and is forwarded to your computer, your computer would get their incoming connection attempts.
