So I have to seed a torrent for up to 10 days. Doesn’t sound that big of a deal right? Just leave it running in the background. Here’s the problem. Despite me turning off battery optimization on my phone and turning Libretorrent’s battery usage to unrestricted it will still for some reason stop seeding in the middle of the night. Because of this, a torrent I started seeding on the 5th is only at 2 days 13 hours!

Is there any way to fix this? Would switching to another client still count for my torrentleech seeding time? I really need to fix this or it’s going to take an eternity to reach 10 days of seeding time.

Samsung phone? Settings > Battery > Battery > Background usage limits > Never sleeping apps. Add Libretorrent there.

If you’re on another brand of phone, there might be a slightly different place that you need to look. It’s annoying, but you often have to disable sleep in more than one place.

Thanks for the assistance but I’ve already tried this. It doesn’t appear under that. Maybe because I’ve already set it to unrestricted? Yes I am on an S10.

Edit: I’ve taken it off unrestricted and then it popped up in never sleeping. I’m pretty sure it will do the same thing but it’s worth a shot.

I didn’t realize it was that bad. 🤣

Thanks I’ll read this over. How ridiculous I even have to do this.
