Torrent Ratio Keeper Basic Version — Troubleshooting & FAQs

Torrent Ratio Keeper Basic Version — Simple Guide & Setup

What it is

Torrent Ratio Keeper Basic Version is a lightweight utility that monitors your torrent client and automatically stops, pauses, or notifies when a torrent reaches a user-defined upload/download ratio. It’s designed to help users maintain targeted seeding ratios without manual checking.

Key features

• Automatic actions: Stop, pause, or notify when ratio target is reached.
• Per-torrent or global targets: Set individual ratio goals or one setting for all torrents.
• Client integration: Works with common torrent clients via their RPC/API (e.g., qBittorrent, Transmission).
• Simple UI: Minimal configuration aimed at basic ratio management.
• Logging: Records actions taken so you can verify which torrents were stopped or paused.

Typical setup (assumes qBittorrent or Transmission)

1. Install Torrent Ratio Keeper Basic Version (download and run installer or extract portable build).
2. Open the app and go to Settings / Client connection.
3. Enter your torrent client’s RPC/API host (usually http://localhost), port, username, and password.
4. Test connection and save.
5. Set a global ratio target (e.g., 1.5) or configure per-torrent rules.
6. Choose the action when target is met (Stop, Pause, or Notify).
7. Enable monitoring and let it run in the background.

Best practices

• Use per-torrent targets for private trackers with specific ratio requirements.
• Set notifications if you prefer manual verification before stopping a torrent.
• Schedule brief monitoring intervals (e.g., every 5–15 minutes) to avoid API rate limits.
• Keep the client and the keeper app updated for compatibility.

Limitations

• Basic Version may lack advanced scheduling, tracker-specific rules, or complex filtering found in premium editions.
• Requires working RPC/API access to your torrent client.
• Behavior depends on client support for remote commands; some clients expose limited controls.

Quick troubleshooting

• If connection fails: verify client RPC is enabled, correct port, and credentials.
• If actions aren’t applied: check client permissions and whether the client enforces its own ratio limits.
• If exceeded API calls: increase monitoring interval or check for simultaneous tools using the same API.

Example settings

• Global target: 1.0 — Action: Pause
• Private tracker torrents: 1.5 — Action: Stop after reaching target and log the event
