Upgraded LS-WVL to firmware v1.68 & Now Bittorrent Share Ratio Not Working

I've been running firmware 1.60 on my LS-WVL since I purchased it over a year ago, as the automated firmware update always told me it was uptodate. When I checked the Buffalo site last week I came across version 1.68 which I downloaded and updated. It did everything as it should, including restarting the LinkStation.

The only issue I have come across is that the Bittorrent client now acts differently. I started downloading a 1GB file the other day and duly left the machine to get on with it. When I checked it today, I noticed it was still seeding. Nothing strange there until I checked how much it had seeded (to date) - 11GB. I went into the settings and eventually found the seed ratio setting which was set at 150% (the default). That should mean that once it has seeded 1.5GB then it should stop.

So my question is simple. What do I need to do to stop it seeding forever? I usually start the client running last thing at night, but can't afford the bandwidth if it's going to seed forever, and I can't check it every morning in order to stop it. Has anyone else had this issue of it seeding forever following a firmware upgrade (or any other time)?

you still having this problem?

underneath the Seed While box in settings is a check box that says "when uTorrent reaches the seeding goal"
tick that box and put a 0 in the field next to it.

its silly setup that you can set a seeding goal and then have to separately specify that you want it to stop when it reaches the seeding goal.

i had this problem when i re-initialised the torrent client. and again when i updated.
