enchant Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I think I originally posted this in the wrong subforum, so here it is again.Well, I *think* I'm doing everything right, but I can't stop utorrent from seeding once I pass a specified number of seeders. Here's my settings:http://pat.ssih.com/images/ut1.gifBut here's my client, seeding away after it should have stopped:http://pat.ssih.com/images/ut2.gifWhat am I doing wrong?

kerriw Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I found this on the internet:UTorrent, like other BitTorrent clients, automatically seeds files you download. After you finish downloading them, uTorrent goes into seeding mode for that file, uploading pieces of the file to other users. Use the seeding goal feature in uTorrent to automatically stop seeding files after a specified period of time or a minimum ratio. A ratio is set as a percentage and depends on the downloaded file. For example, if the file you downloaded is 1GB in size and you set the seeding goal to "200," uTorrent will upload 2GB before it stops seeding the file.Difficulty: Moderately Easy Instructions 1.Click the "Options" menu in uTorrent and select "Preferences." 2.Click the "Queueing" category at the left side of the preferences window that appears. 3.Type a minimum ratio into the Minimum Ratio (%) text box to stop seeding after that ratio has been reached. A "0" here tells uTorrent to ignore this setting, so the lowest you can set this percentage is "1." 4.Type a minimum time in minutes into the Minimum Seeding Time (Minutes) text box to stop seeding after that time has been reached. 5.Click the "Limit the Upload Rate to (kB/s): [0: Stop]" check box under When uTorrent Reaches the Seeding Goal and type "0" into the text box to the right of the check box. 6.Click the "OK" button.** There may be a bug. I have mine set to stop seeding after two copies but it keeps going regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enchant Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Thanks, but those instructions don't really apply to my situation. I'm not downloading anything. I'm the original seeder. Once there are enough seeders, a "critical mass" of sorts, I want to stop seeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerriw Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 It might be a bug. I have mine set for two copies, but it has seeded to at least 13 copies and it keeps going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 It doesn't stop because you haven't told it to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enchant Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Then could you explain why mine isn't stopping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Did you force start your torrents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerriw Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Thanks, I see where I went wrong. Thanks for pointing that out and I have fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enchant Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Did you force start your torrents?No. I click on the "Create new torrent" icon, Add File, Create and Save as..., and that's it. "Start seeding" is checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
