And the details like "I want to upload in the day time, but not over night" are irrelevant. If you don't make the difference clear, then why bother commenting. What you and the others that commented on my post fail to see is that the original post didn't mention upload at all, he only wanted to finish downloading and shut down. I don't think this feature request is unreasonable, it would certainly mean more seeding time on my end since I wouldn't just shutdown and upload/download only when I'm using the computer during the day. I appreciate bit torrent etiquette and follow it to what I think is acceptable. I figured the Op was new to bit torrent or just not explaining clearly, so I was trying to get and idea of what he meant by "finished download" but also I wanted to know if Transmission can distinguish between "finished" in terms of 100% of bits received and "finished" in terms of satisfying seed ratio, if it can't writing a script would prove difficult, if it can, easy. I've been using bit torrent so long that "finished download" to me automatically translated to completion of downloading and satisfying seed ratio.
Next day, user can get on open up transmission and seed, or next time the user goes to download something it will download & seed simultaneously. There is merit to that, but shutting down when a download finishes does not necessarily mean that the download is removed from the list. You are concerned that the op's request is encouraging hit & run behavior. Meanwhile I decided to end my search and say goodbye to Transmission because it's lacking (and apparently refusing to make such an option?) think I get where you are coming from now. Or students who can't afford a 24/7 bill or even something as ISP restrictions. While most people actually just want the feature for the same reason I want it. I've did some searching for this feature in transmission but without any results. With this method I always keep a ratio of 1.3+ (or 130%+), which means I share more then I download. The next morning I fire up my torrent client and keep it running throughout the day. Just sharing isn't worth spending power costs on. So what I basically require of my downloading clients is that they shutdown at night as soon as my downloads are complete. Sharing I don't mind doing at day at all. My upload speed though is a part of my internet connection I hardly need. I don't like downloading my files at day because I need my download speed for a lot of other stuff. Of course it's less black and white then that but it's just to make my point clear. Uploading is working for me when I'm using the computer. This kind of assumptions make me shiver all over.Äownloading isn't working for me when I'm using the computer. I just registered to make a stand against this type of thinking.
Second: Using it would be 'Hit & Run', which is considered bad torrent etiquette andįirst: Is already there, but obviously you don't know that so forget I ever mentioned it
