Description Xenophon 2008-11-06 19:59:10 UTC

Version:           3.1.2 (using 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27-7-generic

Is there a point to having stalled timers for "download completed; seeding" torrents? Is it to accommodate situations where the tracker is down?

Even if it is required, can stalled timers perhaps be turned off when maximum uploads is set to 0? A few CPU cycles can possibly be saved.

Just a thought. Thanks!

Stalled timers for seeding serve the same purpose as for downloading, to determine when to decrease the priority automatically. This is useful when you are seeding, to let other torrents seed, so that you can let torrents seed which can actually seed data.

We are not going to disable this. Even if you don't use the automatic priority decrease feature, it can still be useful to know how long a torrent is doing nothing.
