Some User Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Hi, Using latests version: 1.78, windows 10 with latests fixes. I have enabled "Auto start task when download rate less than specified rate" and I have it at 150 KB/s for total download speed and 15 KB/s for slowest task. I have 22 active tasks (all downloading). My limit for concurrent tasks is 10. Unfortunately it does no pause any of those 10 active. Tool tip says 5 min but after 10 minutes (or even whole day) the same 10 tasks are downloading. All of those are stuck at 90+ because seeds are not available. Can you please fix that? Do you need any more information from me? Thanks and have a nice day.

Rhubarb Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Those speeds are really very slow. I'd increase them to at least 256 KB/s for both min and max values. At a guess the p[rogram is downloading what it sees as the 'faster' files and with a download limit of 10, that's all you will get - 10 concurrent downloads, irrespective of the number in the queue. You could try manually stopping any running downloads but that will just shift the problem to other files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some User Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 What do you mean by min and max? Those settings are: In my condition I have 22 tasks that are all stuck at various % of completeness. So download speed of all tasks is way below 150KB/s, mostly around 0 KB/s. I want to cycle through them because I would like to add tasks from time to time so they are picked up from the end of the queue, finished and then those stuck will get pick up again. I don't want to increase the maximum number of concurrent tasks because tasks that I am adding are often popular files that have a lot of peers and seeds and I don't want to use my whole bandwidth.

Rhubarb Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Min(imum) and max(imum) - settings in options governing download speeds - yours are far too low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some User Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) I don't thin we are talking about the same feature. Feature I am talking about has nothing to do with max or min speed of a download. Edited September 3, 2021 by Some User (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Take the 'auto' setting off. You could also increase the number of concurrent downloads as you are restricted to 10 downloads at the same time irrespective of any other setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want it to work as it is described in the tooltop and on that page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 It's working exactly as it's supposed to - you are restricted by your own settings from downloading any more than 10 torrents no matter how many you have queued for autostart. It will not pause any of the files running even if there is no movement from the seeder so long as they remain active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some User Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 Then what is this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 You don't quite seem to understand. YOU altered default settings and you also have restricted downloads to a maximum of 10. That is down to you and NOT the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some User Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 It says in the tooltip that it will pause slowest task. So either this feature does not work or that tooltip message is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 All anyonwe can do is to advise you and the advice is to stop running at ridiculously low speeds As you seem bent on totally ignoring that advice, there is no point in continuing And as a fyi - what is happening is NOT a bug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some User Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 Can you please IGNORE speed settings? I can set them to whatever values because for that feature they don't matter. IT says in that tooltip that it will stop task if speed of that task is BELOW that speed. It does not stop that task. Ergo: that feature DOES NOT WORK. IT SAYS IT WILL PAUSE that task to make room for another. It says that in the tooltip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some User Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) It should work as follows: if i have it set to 150KB/s for first parameter (total speed) and 10kB/s for slowest task limit. I have 10 concurrent tasks allowed. I have 12 tasks started, 10 of them running: Tasks: running at 10KB/S running at 10KB/S running at 10KB/S running at 10KB/S running at 10KB/S running at 10KB/S running at 10KB/S running at 10KB/S running at 10KB/S running at 0KB/S (because there are no full copies of the file or it is stuck in "connecting" state because there are no peers at all) not running, queued not running, queued not running, queued not running, queued After 5 minutes it should stop task number 10 and start task number 11. It says that in the tooltip. Edited September 4, 2021 by Some User (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Will you please listen carefully YOUR DOWNLOAD SETTINGS ARE RIDICULOUSLY LOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some User Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 They are? Or are you focusing on wrong setting. Please read my previous post carefully. Replace speeds that I wrote there with X, Y, W, Z ... AND FOCUS ON A FACT THAT DOWNLOAD ARE NOT PAUSED. PLEASE. You are focusing on wrong thing!!!!

Rhubarb Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I am simply pointing out that your settings are ridiculously low - there's no point in continuing this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
