Standby mode for no reason?

by churro on 2015/08/09 02:47:19 PM    
This started with v2.15. In my settings I have upload slots set to 25. I have about 15 torrents open and seeding, but only 1 or 2 are actually seeding anything. Yet I see a few torrents being put into Standby mode. I have enough upload slots so why is this happening? If I click on Options tab, Seeding, and select "Always seed and do not consume a seeding slot" then it goes out of Standby but I never had to do this before because I never seed more than the number of upload slots I have. Is it a bug with the new version?

It is occasionally cycling seeds that are very dead (no traffic for a long time) to standby, but they will cycle back out into Seeding after 10 minutes or so if you have open slots.

This is part of the queue management system they created.  You can disable it in Settings > Transfers > General (right under the slots) if it bothers you.  But it seems to work pretty good for me.

the devs probably have to fine-tune things a little bit, but the next version will probably avoid the "dead sead random standby" when you already aren't already filling your slots

but for now, if you want to eliminate just the "dead seed random standby", which is most likely what you're seeing, just go to Settings > Transfers > General , click the Details button next to Auto manage slots, and change the following:

randstandbychancetable=  //every cycle, dead seeds have an independent random chance (out of 1000) of being ...
{
0={ 0={0=0 300= 2 600=  5  900= 10 1800= 20} 1={0=0 300= 2 600=  5  900= 10 1800= 20} }
1={ 0={0=0 300=10 600= 20  900= 40 1800= 50} 1={0=0 300=10 600= 20  900= 40 1800= 50} }
2={ 0={0=0 300=15 600= 30  900= 60 1800= 90} 1={0=0 300=15 600= 30  900= 60 1800= 90} }
3={ 0={0=0 300=25 600= 50  900=100 1800=200} 1={0=0 300=25 600= 50  900=100 1800=200} }
} 


make it look like this

randstandbychancetable=  //every cycle, dead seeds have an independent random chance (out of 1000) of being...
{
0={ 0={0=0} }
}

Thanks for the tips and tweaks. I decided to uncheck the Auto-manage slots option. I don't really understand what it's for and I've been fine without this new queue system so I'll just stick with the old way.
