2.04 Seeds Forever when Share Ratio Exceeded

Post by SalULloyd »

While observing downloads, it seems that if the Share Ratio setting is exceeded, at the time the download completes and the torrent starts seeding, then it will seed forever rather that stop. The version I am using is 2.04 for Mac

My per-torrent seeding setting is set for "Global Settings".

Negative on clicking the Resume button.

If I have a "stop seeding at share ratio" set, and throttle my download speed, it's sometimes possible that the torrent has already exceeded the "stop seeding at share ratio" setting when the download reaches 100% and seeding begins. If so, then the torrent will seed forever rather than stopping.

All you have to do to see what happens is wait until a minute before you reach 100% download, then look at the "Activity" section of the torrent inspector to see what the Transfer Ratio for the download is, then go to the "Options" > "Seeding" section of the torrent inspector and change the "Stop Seeding" option to "Stop at Ratio" and set the ratio just slightly lower than the actual transfer ratio you just checked. When the torrent starts seeding, it will seed forever. Re-check the "Stop Seeding" option of the torrent inspector and it is now set to "Seed Forever".

Repeat the experiment, but set the "stop at ratio" to just slightly higher than the actual transfer ratio. After downloading 100%, the torrent will seed until it reaches the "stop at ratio" you specified.

I'm having the same problem with the transmission daemon (2.04). I tried searching Trac but I don't see any open tickets that seem to be related. Let me know and I'll create a ticket.
Here is my config:
