stop uploading when download completes ?
can i set my utorrent client to stop uploading when download completes ? or just stop the torrent as soon as it completes download ?
why ? my isp only allows the unlimited transfer at a particular time period :cry:, otherwise they would charge shit loads of money for every MB transfered
i can start seeding manually on my allowed free transfer time .
any help would be appreciated
Re: stop uploading when download completes ?
Yes. Go to preferences->queueing.
Change 'seed while ratio is' to 1%. Tick the 'limit the upload rate' box, and put 0 in the box to the side, which you can now put a number in, to stop it right away.
edit: this is wrong as it does not stop it immediately. Ignore it.
edit2: I dont think the scheduler allows you to set the upload to 0kB either.
Re: stop uploading when download completes ?
Best is to configure (schedule) your utorrent to be only active during your free transfer time, then you can forget about it.
Preferences/scheduler will get you going.

thanks :happy:
edit:
when you right click on a torrent -properties-advanced - run program (run this program when the download finishes )
is it possible to make a batch file to stop the torrent :unsure:
Re: stop uploading when download completes ?
I forgot to repost: options->auto shutdown and choose. This will stop uTorrent the second the downloads finish.
Re: stop uploading when download completes ?
donno if you can make a batch file but there's another setting in options->autoshutdown where you can exit program when downloading complete.
edit: oops KennyX beat me!
anyway, try what SgtMajor suggested, it might be your best option unless you what to configure individual torrents.

thanks guys .. it works :)
Re: stop uploading when download completes ?
doing what you are trying to do will get you banned for hit & run a most private trackers, and personally I think if you can't get an ISP that doesn't limit your upload amounts, you have no business in the bittorrent community.
Re: stop uploading when download completes ?
what harm does uploading do anyways unless dont have symmetric connectivity
