Fine-Grained Control Of Seeding (Can I Limit How Much To Upload To One Person)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

 

I have a popular torrent (there are 100+ people seeding).  I have noticed that nearly everybody I am sharing with takes only a few hundred KB... but one user in the US has uploaded over 70% of the entire file from me.  I don't know what this individual is up to, but I suspect he's up to no good.  It seems reasonable to assume I have one leecher that is breaking ettiquette and wants 100% of the file from me alone. Not sure why.

 

I want to seed the torrent but I don't want to upload more than about 25% of the torrent to any one inividual (if the torrent is healthy). I can achieve this, although this is not a very good workaround, by setting uTorrent to stop seeding after 100% and hope that more than one person is uploading from me, but I'd rather seed unlimited.

 

In a perfect world, 4 seeders could do 25% each.  This will not happen in reality because of the other seeders' bandwidth. 

 

Is it possible to have uTorrent calculate 25% of the total torrent size (to be used as an upload cap for all peers) and then enforce the cap if there are more than say 8 seeders?

 

Like I say, I want to seed as much as possible but am a bit wary of one person who's asking for 100% of the file.

 

Thanks,
