Doing so would defeat the whole purpose of BitTorrent. Well, in ABC you can stop the sharing as soon as the download is complete even though ABC would still like to continue sharing the file(s).

What are you a selfish asshole? Downloading and uploading at the same time is what makes Bit torrent so great. If you're not going to upload, please don't download.

dude i dont mind uploading, but the ratios are all fuked up

its always like downloaded 200mb, uploaded 827 mb, or downloaded 100mb, uploaded 400mb.

 

Is this one person uploading or many, if its many i don’t mind, it doesn’t seem right to have such a slow ass download rate and a quicker upload rate, and if the upload rate is killing my download rate then fuk all of you, i dont need to keep my computer on for a few extra days for your benefit.

you do know that if you're on dsl you have to limit your upload rate by at least 5kb/s to get a propper download rate right? If you lower it down by 6kb/s or more more, then that's just dirty leeching. I have my max rate set to about 25kb/s out of 30kb/s

[PLasticSlug]

can you post how to adjust those options?

thanks

Meh, I just use the offical client. I can't be arsed to mess around the configuration files on ABC.

 

I praise Bram Cohen everyday. He's just a 4 city bus stops away.
