lament Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 so I'm on a torrent with 7 seeders and 300+ leechers, and all I'm downloading from are 39 peers - it's not connecting to the seeds.but utorrent shows only 8 of the 39 peers are actually sending me anything.how can I ditch the ones that aren't sending so they're not part of my connections?

CainKellye Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 It would be an interesting feature though, to force ppl to seed. Of course I don't mean to disconnect every peer, who doesn't upload, only if they don't upload a bit (or two) for an amount of time. (e.g. 5 mins)And stop uploading to them for some minutes. (e.g. 15 mins)Just an idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CainKellye Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 well if my max connections on the torrent is 50, i have 50 connected and only 10 are actually sending data to me..yes, this feature would deal with this, but you will never always download from all peers constantly. Sometimes they are choked, waiting for next request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lament Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 yeah but this is just annoying.. I realize some of them have uploaded a little bit to me.. but let's connect to someone who has something share to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 uTorrent already drops peers who are inactive for over 5mins, As far as i know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CainKellye Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I think utorrent doesn't say a peer is inactive when its only leeching. Only drops them if they are not seeding, nor leeching.I figured this out when I added the "inactive" coloumn for peers view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I'll test that out myself. If you're right, i believe it should be changed. The reason to drop the peer in the first place is how much he's uploading, regardless of how useful WE are to HIM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerebrosus Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 I just activated the column, and at around 6 minutes of inactivity, it drops them.Is it, or will it be, possible to change this value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huck Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 I just activated the column, and at around 6 minutes of inactivity, it drops them.Is it, or will it be, possible to change this value?It is. There's no need to change dropping interval but there's need to have ability either manually or auto ban such peers. Because most of them will reconnect in about 1 min and hang in your list next 5 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
