louwin Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 For instance I don't want to see any Hindi or Russian movies.... Can I filter these out? One morning nine of the ten movies displayed was Hindi and one, English Or even better, can I just see "English" language torrents? Also, can I filter all torrents with ZERO seeders as it is really pointless showing them as they won't download anyway Or supress any torrents with "Avail" less than 1.000? As these will certainly START to download and then stop when the availibity is reached.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 That entirely depends on where you're getting torrents from, and isn't being caused by anything in the software. Suppressing zero seeds isn't a good idea because availability among non-seeds may still exceed 1.0 Additionally, suppressing availability below 1.0 isn't a good idea either because the swarm overall may be above 1.0 but you can't connect to them and the pieces aren't distributed yet.

louwin Posted April 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Thanks for your response I take your point about the availability from the peers may exceed 1.0. I've waited months in this very hope. But sometimes there a zero seeds AND zero peers. Could THESE be filtered out? Thanks, I see your point NOW.... You are saying, politely, that filtering should be a function of the client not uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorS Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 FWIW -- I've found that torrents listed as having zero seeds sometimes have seeds that appear for only awhile. Yes, that's inconvenient, but a full time seed with a very low UL rate is also inconvenient. However, in both cases, if you're willing to be patient, it's possible to get a complete download (after which I surely hope you would automatically stick around and seed to help others in the same lurch -- far too many torrent downloaders spit on the rest of us following 100%.)
