Stop µTorrent Seeding Automatically After a Download

Source-checked About 10 minutes

Answer

Set a conservative global seed ratio or seeding-time goal and a completed-torrent upload limit, while respecting private-tracker rules and the swarm.

Check tracker requirements

Private trackers may require a minimum ratio or seed time; stopping early can harm your account.

Open queue settings

In µTorrent Classic preferences, find Queueing and set the minimum ratio or seeding-time goal you intend to honor.

Set the completion behavior

Use the completed-torrent upload-rate limit after the goal is reached; zero and unlimited can behave differently by version.

Test with legal content

Download a small authorized file and confirm the torrent changes state only after the configured goal.
