There is one limit covering everything in your client.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You only set it once.<\/strong> The limit survives a client restart \u2014 you do not need to re-apply it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It takes effect straight away.<\/strong> Any torrent already past your limit is stopped at the next check rather than instantly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stopped is not removed.<\/strong> Your files stay on disk and the torrent stays in your list; you can start it again at any time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leave the box unticked to seed forever.<\/strong> That is the default, and nothing changes until you tick it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u26a0\ufe0f On private trackers, choose your figure carefully.<\/strong> Many trackers set a minimum seed time or ratio, and stopping early can count against your account. If you are unsure, set a higher ceiling \u2014 or leave the limit off for private torrents and let them keep seeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Checking Your Torrent Status in ruTorrent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>\n  ruTorrent STATUS INDICATORS\n  \u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\u2550\n\n  Icon\/Color     Meaning              Action\n  \u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500     \u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500              \u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\n  \u25b6 Green        Downloading          Normal\n  \u25b6 Blue         Seeding              Active upload\n  \u23f8 Grey         Paused\/Stopped       Manual or auto-stop\n  \u2715 Red          Error                Check disk space\n  \u2b07 Yellow       Queued               Waiting in line\n\n  Useful columns to enable:\n  \u2022 Ratio    \u2014 Your upload\/download ratio per torrent\n  \u2022 Tracker  \u2014 Shows if public or private\n  \u2022 Seeds    \u2014 Number of seeders available\n  \u2022 Size     \u2014 Disk space used by this torrent\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why did my torrent stop seeding?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it&rsquo;s a <strong>public torrent<\/strong>, it was stopped automatically after completion. This is by design \u2014 public torrents don&rsquo;t need your seedbox&rsquo;s bandwidth. If it&rsquo;s a <strong>private torrent<\/strong>, check if you accidentally paused it, hit your disk quota, or if your monthly upload limit was reached. Also check <strong>Settings &rarr; Set Ratio<\/strong> \u2014 if you have set a ratio limit there, torrents that reach it are stopped on purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I keep public torrents seeding?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The auto-stop rule runs every minute. If you restart a public torrent, it will be stopped again within a minute. This is a server-wide policy to ensure fair resource distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will auto-stop affect my private tracker ratio?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>No.<\/strong> Private tracker torrents are never auto-stopped. Only public tracker torrents are affected. Your private tracker seeding runs uninterrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My upload speed seems slow. What&rsquo;s happening?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check your monthly upload usage in the dashboard. If you&rsquo;re above 80% of your monthly allowance, upload throttling kicks in. Your speed will return to normal when your billing cycle resets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What counts as a \u00ab\u00a0public\u00a0\u00bb vs \u00ab\u00a0private\u00a0\u00bb torrent?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is determined by the tracker in the .torrent file. Private trackers set a \u00ab\u00a0private\u00a0\u00bb flag. Your seedbox detects this automatically \u2014 you don&rsquo;t need to configure anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Guides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"\/wiki\/disk-usage-quotas-seedbox\/\">Understanding Disk Usage &amp; Quotas<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/wiki\/adding-torrent-to-seedbox\/\">Adding a Torrent to Your Seedbox<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/wiki\/rutorrent-getting-started\/\">ruTorrent \u2013 Getting Started<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/wiki\/seedbox-bandwidth-explained\/\">Understanding Your Seedbox Bandwidth<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/wiki\/guide-to-increase-download-and-upload-queues\/\">Increase Download and Upload Queues<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Confused about why some of your torrents stop seeding automatically?
