Can I pause my torrent that are downloading and then shut down my computer?

07/19/2011 03:26 by ThomasOakes

I'm using utorrent. But now I must turn off the computer. Can I just pause my torrent which is still downloading, turn the computer off? can I continues to download the files next day when I start my computer? Is there any danger? Thanks.

  • You can just pause uTorrent via the big red X in top right of window. And then shut down your computer.
    When you turn your computer back on it, start up uTorrent. Then uTorrent loads should automatically continue your download.

  • No, I use uTorrent. Unless the file is something I need right now, I prefer not to leave my laptop on when I'm asleep

  • Yes. You can pause the torrent without any security issue to consider. And when you start your computer next day, you will resume it.

  • Yes, you can stop or pause it and resume it later. That also applies even for days. Just to help, you can set up the software to automatically shut down the computer when the download has completed

  • Most torrent programs like Utorrent will do that, they will automatically start from where you stopped so long as you are connected to the Internet.

    You can also right-click on the torrent you are downloading, and hit pause as you need to.
