By doing this you will make downloading more difficult for other peers. Before you do that, ask yourself if it is actually necessary. Speaking of seeding, I have seen a lot of people deleting their torrents right after they complete.

A 10 GB file can be seeded fully within minutes if you have the connection speed and the torrent is popular. There are a number of factors deciding how fast a torrent is seeding:įor example, a 1 MB file can take forever to seed if nobody is downloading it. Note that these examples are theoretical. Whatever happens first will determine if the seeding should commence or not. qBittorrent setup with seeding limits ( theme by MahdiMirzade)Īs you can see, the two seeding limits in qBittorrent function as “OR statements”. On the other hand, if you set the ratio to 0.01 and the time to 10 hours, the torrent will stop seeding when the ratio reaches 0.01 before the 10 hours have elapsed. qBittorrent setup with seeding limits ( theme by MahdiMirzade) This is because it usually takes a lot longer than 5 minutes to get a 1:1 ratio (although this depends on a number of factors). If you enable both “ when the ratio reaches” and “ when seeding time reaches” they will act as OR functions meaning whichever comes first decides if seeding should stop.įor example, if you set the ratio to 1, but with a very short seeding time, like for instance 5 minutes, the torrent will most likely stop seeding after 5 minutes. What happens if you enable both ratio and seeding time limits? 🤔 Seeding time starts as soon as someone downloads parts from your computer until nobody is downloading anything from you any longer.

Note that qBittorrent will start seeding as soon as possible even if the torrent is still downloading, so it’s not like seeding starts only after the download is finished. You can only tell it to remove the torrent depending on how much or how long it has actually been uploading. One would think it refers to how long the torrent has been enabled for seeding, but instead it refers to how long the torrent has actually been uploading.Ĭontrary to what one would expect, there is no way to tell qBittorrent to remove the torrent # minutes after the download is complete.


Anything over 1 means you have uploaded more than you have downloaded. A ratio less than 1, for example, 0.25, means you have uploaded less than you have downloaded. A ratio of 1 means you have uploaded just as much as you have downloaded. Seeding ratio is a measure of how much you have downloaded compared to how much you have uploaded. In qBittorrent, you have two options when it comes to how you want to seed torrents.
