Azureus 2.5.0.2 + force seed = ?

January 14, 2007 7:45 AM

Has the "force seed" option been removed from the latest version of Azureus (2.5.0.2)? It used to be a simple right-click away, but now I can't seem to locate it anywhere... (I've searched the Wiki.)

Should still be there. You're looking for "Force Start," between Queue and Stop in the right-click context menu. Same place it's always been on my copy of 2.5.0.2 (Windows 2000).

Response by poster: Oddly enough, it's not there on mine.

Running 2.5.0.2 here (WinXP) and the Force Start option is still there on the right click menu. Maybe your auto-update fucked up? Try reinstalling.

I'm running 2.5.0.2 on my Mac. Right click for Forced Start is there.

It's worth noting that all that "Force start" does is immediately activate a torrent for seeding/downloading regardless of your rules for the maximum number of concurrent downloads.
