Option to limit download rate to 0 KiB/s - pause downloading, continue uploading

[photon_man62]

Sometimes an updated version of a torrent comes out in the meantime, or I notice that I am downloading the wrong torrent, or something else like that happens. In such a situation it would be useful to have the option of stopping the download, but continuing to upload to prevent leeching unnecessarily. Even a 1 KiB/s upload speed (the lowest possible settings) adds up to ~100MB downloaded after ~28h of running the torrent. "Content>Priority>Do not download" doesn't work since it stops from uploading those files too.

Are you sure? Seems to work for me. Maybe you don't have finished pieces?

BTW I will like to see a way do finish all partially downloaded pieces (green).

Open a bug in the bug tracker.
Libtorrent has a feature called "upload mode" which essentially does what you ask.

void set_upload_mode(bool m) const;
Explicitly sets the upload mode of the torrent. In upload mode, the torrent will not request any pieces
