Hardware How to stop seeding while downloading? uTorrent.

[Haloman800]

Somehow my upload speed is over twice as fast as my download speed, so while downloading a 1GB file I'll have already uploaded 2.5 GBs, and I'll only be half done.

Is there any way I can stop uTorrent from seeding while I download, or at least slow it down?


Thanks.

Click options, preferences, then bandwidth. Change the maximum upload speed to 5 or 10 kbs to dramatically slow down the uploads. I found that 5 or 10 works best, but you can mess with it to see what works best for you. You cannot stop it entirely. I have tried everything.

Just don't setup a shared folder in the preferences.
Though you might not be able to download because of the down/upload ratio.

EVERYONE STOP. HE OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T GET BITTORRENT.

You see, Bittorrent rewards seeders: the longer and faster you seed, the more your client tells other seeders to send packets to you. (Read: The more you share, the more others share)

Fishamanis right, That's what a meant about the ratio...
If you seed ,you will harvest!

Just limit the upload.
