Azureus - removing seed files

[torriani]

Azu has a habit of taking over my computer. It tells me that I am not allowed to remove a seeding file from the lower window.
This is simply a reason not to use the program - when you happen to slip off the mousebutton while dragging a file to somewhere and the slip happens over the AZU seed window / task button, you are at gunpoint.

The only way to avoid the file being seeded is to immediately rename it - once you discovered the seed.
PLEASE advise how to break the upload link without visiting on unknown sites, and renaming own files for protection. Remove the file indication from the lower window without getting "error" messages.
___________________________________________

In practice Azu's message is that the file is registred at various places in the internet, you are being asked to go there and and getting lost and remove the link to your file at each of these places.
I wouldn't be surprised that any link you happen to remove will be immediately replaces by a different one, just to bleed you to death.

Though Azu. looks very nice, it is nowhere yet where I really like to rely on it - not with such "features".

After all, if it can list the seed links, a good program would offer a menu command to cut the links in a proper fashion.


Further, a file has to be fully downloaded before Azu. starts seeding. I have seen programs that start seeding with 20% downloaded, really making for a fast spread and exchange network - obviously worlds more efficient.

Ok I noticed there is an upload speed showing in the upper (download) window which is fast enough to _suspect_ uploading to happen while downloading the same file. It just does not tell you, leaving you with a poor seeding rank shown under the bottom window.

thanks for the recom. - uTorrent 1.6
I am usually seeding longer than I download.
I want to remain in control what I seed when, Azu. tries to get around this by making seed removing extra hard.
I won't repeat here - I was detailed enough.
So far I received no solution, except use a different program.
That all Azu has to offer ?

exactly what does the error say? I've never heard of anything like that and never encountered that problem myself.

what version of azureus do you have installed? what version of java? which operating system are you using?

I'm having a really hard time following your post. does it tell you that you're not authorized to download the torrent and you need to sign up at whatever site? that's because it's a private torrent from somewhere and you don't have an account there.

Further, a file has to be fully downloaded before Azu. starts seeding. I have seen programs that start seeding with 20% downloaded, really making for a fast spread and exchange network - obviously worlds more efficient.

any file you're downloading is also uploading at the same time in azureus, as long as there are peers to connect to you.
