Can you stop azureus from uploading?

no, thats the point of torrenting..

use utorrent, its far better than az, and uses way less resources

The download speed on UT is 7kb/s, any hints on improving this?

If only one file is downloading, (partially downloaded), there is a much larger upload speed than download speed, what is being uploaded?

Cheers

:D dont use it at all thats the only way to not upload :rolleyes:
 
It's so annoying when they auto upload I'd much rather not upload anything while downloading to improve download speed and then just seed at the end.

Whatever you've downloaded can be uploaded back to other leechers...doesn't matter how much of the file you have.
 
sorry for OT

can i make the layout on utorrent same as azureus.

i like azureus layout as u get 2 box, 1 for downloading, other 1 for seeding/finished.

Adjust your settings, my uploads used to kill all downloads (not just azureus) but since I've played with the settings (ie changed them from auto) I can get good downloads/uploads at the same time.
 
If you do, you're leeching and your download speed will probably suffer. With BT, peers will tend to upload more to you if you're willing to give them some data in return.

you need to look at portforward.com ;)
 
Does on Azureus to, you just right click the upload/download rates in the bottom right corner of it and select the one you want. :)

I used to use this one time, but i could'nt game at the same time as it used that much CPU usage, but now im using Utorrent that uses bugger all. :)
 
Yeah when i switched to it i used to love it, i miss the interface, excellent layout etc... it just uses to much CPU usage, only gripe for me that, used to go to about 60. :(
 
I'm just using the no-frills BT client from bittorrent.com, there's a bar at the top that limits how much you upload. Very simple. Very small. Very functional.
 
I used to use Azereus. Having just reinstalled windows using Nlite, I didnt want to start clogging my system up again. Hence I was loathe to use Azeraus, as it would mean installing Java again. Which would defeat the whole point of using nLite in the first place.

So now im using uTorrent. Give it a while and you'll become accustomed to the new UI. In fact, I now prefer it over Azereus.

Maybe you dont get two panes, one for uploads, one for downloads. However on the left hand pane you get filter options. All, Downloading, Uploading, Active, Inactive. I find this much more cleaner than having two panes....

The biggest bonus is that it uses very little resources. After all, you dont really sit there and watch Azereus download do you? So its better for my system for uTorrent to be running in the background using less resources than Azereus.

Im disapointed to hear that people are seeking to limit their uploads. I hope you end up getting banned from all the trackers. Having an excessive upload can slow your downloads, but thats no excuse to limit your upload speed to 5kBs. Set your upload speed to half your upload bandwidth and you should have no problems, and it WONT affect your download speed.

Remember if everyone set their upload speed to 5kBs you wouldn't be getting the 700kbs on the good torrents that you get... (you know who you are :mad: ).

Azureus wins hands down for me as the interface rocks, A cool feature that I love is the download bars, really handy for monitoring certain downloads.

uTorrent also has download bars - I think you can reach them by right-clicking on the torrents and going to 'Advanced'.

That said, I've always found that I get a better download rate using Azureus than uTorrent. It's more than likely that my uTorrent settings are a bit out, though.
