![]() So I'm forced to compromise - generally I set the rate to 2K, and I grant extra dispensations depending on the situation. uTorrent won't even put the seeding torrents Bandwidth Allocation to "Low". Of course, that's not possible with uTorrent (and AFAIK with BitComet and Azureus as well). If all the DLs are complete, then the seeding goes unrestricted. Downloads get absolute priority for my UL pipe (or at least absolute priority for 2/3rds of it). In my ideal world, this is what would happen. I do, however mind if it is going to crimp my DL torrent's UL rate (which will reduce the DL rate, and thus imposing delays I can start using my download). I don't mind seeding in b/w the time my computer finishes downloading and when I have to clear it off my HDD to make room for the next download. Yes, sure you can tell them to find their stuff somewhere else but BitTorrent seems to be the current standard for stuff.Īs for me, I set mine very low as well. ![]() Well, there are those with UL limits to consider. stop seeding after reaching specified ratio (you can even set it to 0%) - G3 was banned from many public trackers for this feature, it allows to automatically stop seeding after completing the download - this should be limited so that you can't set values lower than 80-90%. µTorrent won't automatically set individual torrents upload speeds very low, nor can you blanket-set a bunch of torrents upload speeds to 1 KB/sec each.ģ. I'd find it acceptable for the minimum value to be as low as 50%, assuming the torrents were well-seeded.Ĥ.A definite workaround, but one obscure enough to require manual changes to do. Allowing the auto-launching of other apps when a torrent finishes downloading is good enough and can be used as a shutdown 'workaround' if someone is so inclined.ģ.Once again, 0% could be treated as 'unlimited'. If you're trying to download a single torrent with lots of peers and few seeds, you would only be hurting yourself to set upload slots to 1.Ģ.The simple choice here would be to remove that feature. Setting upload slots to just 1 would mean all your upload bandwidth would go to just 1 peer at a time, not a bad idea if seeding were it not for the fact that numerous peers are overloaded to the point where they cannot download faster than 10 KB/sec from you. With very low upload speeds (which can also mean too many torrents at once) and/or very slow torrents (where almost everyone's stuck at the same %, and new arrivals get TONS of download speed till they reach the same %), upload slots set to 1 makes GOOD sense. 1.Setting upload slots to 0 should either be disallowed or treat upload slots as automatically limited at whatever high limit µTorrent determines based on upload speed.
