How to get rid of requesters popping up?

There are settings to control how long I will seed after finishing, and I've configured them the way I want it. Yet, ktorrent keeps popping up these requesters asking me if I want to continue seeding, both directly after reaching these limits, as well as every time I start ktorrent until I manually remove the torrent in question.

I can find no way of disabling them, and I find them highly annoying, especially when they pop up while I'm doing other things on my machine. I think I've made my preferences abundant;y clear, through the preferences.

I would like to be able to keep the torrents around, so that I can re-enable seeding, at times I choose, but as is, I find myself compelled to remove old torrents immediately after they finish (and pop that first requester) just to get all the requesters out of my face.

(Also, when I leave ktrorrent running, it will sometimes have spawned multiple requesters for the same torrent, I've at times had to click away 10 or more requesters for the same torrent when coming back to the computer.)

I'm using version 2.2.4 from Fedora 7.

See above.

This only happend when you hit start all right?

Then i guess the question is whether we want to abandon this or not. Maybe switch to queued started torrents by default when we click "start/start all"... skip ratio finished torrents then and have a manual start option where they aren't queued or skipped? I dunno, i' am just poking around here. :)

No, the requester pops up:

a) When a torrent has completed and has seeded for the configured time/ratio. When the seeding thus ends, the requester will pop up, asking me if I want to continue seeding, despite the fact that I through preferences specified that I do not.

b) Any time I start the KTorrrent program, and have finished torrents (which, I presume, have also seeded for the specified time/ratio, else they should just start).

I don't know if this nagging behavior is triggered by low seed times/ratios. I do a fair amount of VoIP and online gaming, so I set seed time/ratio low to reduce interference, and then manually start seeding when I go to bed.

Either way, I'd like Ktorrent to stop nagging and just silently obey my preferences.

This is a funny story, as i always have had ktorrent to obey my preference as it comes to ratio.

Oh, it does stop. But when it stops, it opens a requester saying the torrent has reached its limit, and asks if I would like to let it continue. I don't want to be asked, since the requester pops up in the middle of the screen, taking focus away from the currently active window.

By any chance are you using the rss reader? I have the exact same problem, and it is really annoying, but I have only noticed it for files that are grabbed through rss.

Bug

Mon Mar 31, 2008 12:51 am
How this bug works.
When downloading a file that is close or greater then the seed max limit. When the download is finished and the seeding ratio is over the limit, the requester will pop up for each file with a greater ratio then the seed ration limit. The workaround is to note the torrent that doing that, click pass it. Find that torrent and MANUALLY start and stop it. This will fix it.
