Thread: How to just seed before full downloaded?

Hey guys.
I'm wondering, if i'm downloading a really big file & I'm at 34 percent -- how can pause it BUT also seed??

(because if you use reg pause button it stops seeding)

would really appreciate help on this

using uTorrent 1.8 btw



thanx

Well, not that I know of, but you could cap your download on that torrent to 1kbs or something like that.

Figured it out!

Basically just go to scheduler (options> prefrences> scheduler) & schedule to seed-only.
This will go globally, so if there are some torrents u also want to download just force them (right click> force)

Hope this helps someone.

You could also do this a different way than that. =)

Go to the torrent you want to seed only, When you have selected that.
Click on the tab "files" in the lowest section.
After that, select all the files (or only all the files that haven't been completed downloaded yet, but doesn't matter much.) To select these all at once use: "Ctrl + A"

Than right click those and than in the right click menu that pops-up select: "Don't download". The parts of these files that have already been downloaded will than still be uploaded but you won't download anything anymore. =)

That is how you can do it. ^^ Hope it helps. =)

Oh yah I should have thought of that, Elo, good point.

Thanks for the info.

Yeah thats what i normally do when i want to seed the same download from one tracker to another, there may be slight variations so when it is checked say it 99% the same, just dont download the diferences and your sorted.

good good but why would u wanna do that ??

I guess it can be usefull to keep up a good enough ratio to not get kicked from some private trackers?
