Auto-pause when uploaded

[narcisgarcia]

A feature could be useful for downloading+sharing equally a large list of files, with a similar hierachy as the bandwith control:

[v] Pause automatically when ratio reaches: [2]
(minimal value 1)

This can ease to guarantee that each file at least is seeded on a ratio [2] (for example), because the fastest seeds pause and leaves bandwith for the rest.

[Benton]

This is already in there. Under Transfers » Management » Stop seeding at ratio. (I have it set to 4.5)

[narcisgarcia]

In the 1.51 version I don't find this option, I only have these menus:
Torrent, Edit, View, Help.

and in the preferences dialog I only see these tabs:
Torrents, Peers, Network, Desktop, Bandwidth, Web, Trackers.

Benton's instructions were for the Mac UI. I think 1.51 may be too old to have this feature. The later versions of the GTK+ and Qt interfaces can configure it in the preferences menu.
Edit > Preferences > Torrents

I'm running the latest trunk. This is the preferences window for the upcoming 1.80 release.

Anybody knows since which version Transmission has this feature?

Thanks.

Well, yet another question is whether those options would be available in the WebUI / daemon version of the transmission? If so, what the name of those options will be or at least how to generate a default config file with default settings in (which can be used as a basis for further tunings)...

transmission-daemon 1.76 in combination with transmission-remote-dotnet supports stop-seeding-at-ratio both on a global and a per-torrent override basis.

This feature is available since 1.51 I believe.
The WebUI doesn't provide a way to change the settings, but the daemon does:

Code: Select all

KyleK@CH3SNAS:~$ transmission-remote --help | grep seed
  -sr  --seedratio              ratio        Let the current torrent(s) seed until a specific ratio
  -srd --seedratio-default                   Let the current torrent(s) use the global seedratio settings
  -SR  --no-seedratio                        Let the current torrent(s) seed regardless of ratio
  -gsr --global-seedratio       ratio        All torrents, unless overridden by a per-torrent setting, should seed until a specific ratio
  -GSR --no-global-seedratio                 All torrents, unless overridden by a per-torrent setting, should seed regardless of ratio

-sr, -srd and -SR need to be used in conjunction with -t <torrent-id>.
