how to avoid seeding torrent queue

Whenever I start qbittorrent, the seeding torrents are queued. I've got two upload slots and 30 seconds timeout. It takes very very long until all torrents are seeding, if ever, until the next restart.

How can I avoid this?

One method is to increase the amount of upload slots to 10 and the timeout to 2 seconds (any large and low number will do it). But I don't want to baby sit qbittorrent every time I start it. Is there another way while keeping only few upload slots?

Seems easier just to disable queuing altogether. Then if you're worried about bandwidth usage just configure your "global maximum number of connections" and your "global rate limits" to whatever you need them to be. Also keep uTP enabled (under Options / Connection) if you're concerned about the torrent client using up your bandwidth while using the internet.

It's not the answer you're looking for but it might be worth giving a try.

I'll test it, thx.

utp? Do oyu mean mutp with a $\mu$? Meaning, disabling tcp?

Yes - But keep both TCP and uTP enabled (should be the default setting unless you changed it).

Go to Options - BitTorrent

And set maximum active number

Rereading your post makes me unsure what you are looking for

Seeding Torrents are queued instead of seeded. It takes too long until they get the status of seeding.

There's no option "max active number"

Max active torrents? Is set to 10k

Max active uploads and torrents should be above the number of torrents you want to seed

@GravitySpoiled use the flud app. Thank me later.

If my server would android, I'd thank you later

@GravitySpoiled gotcha that explains why y’all are using that crappy app. Utorrent and BitTorrent have to be the worst when it comes to options and customization.

Utorrent has flaws, it's banned by a lot of trackers. Qbittorrrent is the best working client afaik. And it probably has the most themes.
