Qbittorrent Stop Seeding After Download

  • Dec 4, 2015 - Right click on the file entry in the top window, select 'Limit download rate',. Can't stop the download completely, but that's slow enough to.
  • Qbittorent is set to stop seeding when downloads are completed. I have “Completed Download Handling” enabled, but the downloaded files are not moved to the “TV” folder. I have a similar setup with Sabnzbd and it works correctly.

How to disable auto-seed

How to stop qbittorrent continuing to seed after whatever ratio limit that you want has been reached:

Open the client settings:Select the BitTorrent panel:In Share Ratio Limitingcheck the box '[ ] Seed torrents until their ration reaches;Set the value;Choose the action from Pause them | Remove them

Press OK to close the client.

If you do not want to seed at all after downloading, set the value to 0.Please note this goes against the basic principles of using a Bittorrent client, but is of course your personal preference.

Please note if you are using a ratio enforcing 'private' tracker, the ratio shown in the client, is not the same ratio as your tracker is reporting or monitoring.

I am using µTorrent v2. Is it possible to remove a file from µTorrent when a download has finished automatically? I want to keep µTorrent open rather then closing it down.

Instead of just stopping at the point of completing a download, here are a few options (which I think uTorrent will also support) -- they are torrent friendly.

  1. Limit upload rate
  2. Stop seeding after a specific seeding ratio
    (like say 100%? or, 10% if you are not friendly).
  3. Setup alternate upload rate when not downloading
    (meaning when you have probably completed all your downloads)

You can change the default behavior for the delete function:

Go to Options -> Preferences -> Advanced. Find the listing gui.default_del_action: change the value from 0 to 1.

In fact, you can change the value from 0 all the way to 3 with the corresponding results:

0 means 'Remove' (remove the torrent job from the list, but all related files are left intact on the disk)

1 means 'Remove and delete .torrent' (remove the selected torrent job(s) from the list and the corresponding torrent file(s) from where the storage location on disk)

2 means 'Remove and delete Data' (remove the torrent selected job(s) from the list and all content downloaded from the torrent job(s))

3 means 'Remove and delete .torrent + Data' (remove the selected torrent job(s) from the list, the corresponding torrent file(s) from the storage location on disk, and all content downloaded from the torrent job(s))

Yes, there is. I've written a script that accesses uTorrent's Web UI to remove completed torrents automatically. You can find instructions on how to use it on my blog at:

Yes: click the finished torrent (it will be listed as seeding) and stop it (there's a stop button on the toolbar).You can then delete or move the file.

You should be nice and seed the files you download so that others benefit from the file being distributed, too. that won't work if you stop the seeding and delete the file.

No, there is no built-in way to automatically remove a file in µTorrent. Automatically stopping it is the closest you can get.

Your best bet is to request a way to automatically remove a torrent once it reaches the specified ratio, making sure to explain that you can already automatically stop torrents anyway, so automatically removing them is no more harmful than that.

You should instead try qBittorrent, in portableapps format.

It has the feature to remove the torrent when it reaches your set ratio. I have mine set at 1,5 sometimes 2.0 as I am very friendly by nature.

Use the webAPI that utorrent provides. If you enable the webUI in utorrent you will be able to get to utorrent through your web browser. Checkout this webpage: http://www.utorrent.com/community/developers/webapi

Through the API you can send HTTP POST/GET requests to utorrent, which will enable you to remove a torrent when it's done.

In the utorrent options you can run a program when a torrent either changes state or has finished downloading. Use that feature together with the webAPI and create a simple script that does that for you.
