Download throttling and reseeding?
megido-rev.M:
You gotta do the recheck: it's the only way!
Freedom Kira:
Make sure you have pointed at the folder that the torrent was downloaded to. Most torrents have all of the files stored inside a folder. You must direct BitTorrent to the folder that contains the torrent's folder, not that folder itself.
Al_Sleeper:
That's not true for the earlier versions of uTorrent.
megido-rev.M:
AFAIK uTorrent demands the download root: either the folder displayed upon opening the torrent, or the area of the single file.
No doubt it's confusing.
Bozobub:
1) Most clients I know of, including uTorrent, require the top level folder that the torrent resides in (for example, your "Torrents" folder) when reseeding and/or specifying a new location for a torrent. If you give it a path with "Torrentname", you'll end up with a new copy in "Torrents>Torrentname>Torrentname".
2) uTorrent tends to suck badly past 2.2.1, especially for seeding performance. The newer versions of the official BitTorrent client are their own giant ball of fail. "Sponsored" torrents, my ass.
3) Remember that having torrents available for upload, in no way guarantees there are peers who want to download from you. Most torrents on BakaBT are quite heavily seeded, and you're competing with all of the other seeds for a limited pool of leechers, if there are any at all.
That lousy seeding performance you're seeing under uTorrent 3.2.1 is a combination of uTP (automatic bandwidth management) and bad coding in later versions of uTorrent.
