| | 1 | = Why does setting upload speed to 0 halt my downloads? = |
| | 2 | This is intentional, not a bug. I't not "the right thing" for a client to be able to set the speed to 0. Most other clients don't allow this either. |

| | 4 | The discussion on how to handle this came up when [http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0021.html "Partial Seed Protocol" (BEP 21)] was implemented. To clarify: |
| | 5 | * Setting download speed to 0 will enable 'seed mode', ie. Identifying yourself as a partial seed. |
| | 6 | * Setting upload speed to 0 will enable a 'keep alive mode' with tracker, but will refuse any peer for both upload and download. |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | Besides being the "Right Thing" to do, this new behavior is also very powerful for scripting and scheduling. |
