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.
Here's an EXTENSIVE list of things you can do to keep an app from sleeping on a Samsung phone: https://dontkillmyapp.com/samsung
I didn't realize it was that bad. 🤣
Thanks I'll read this over. How ridiculous I even have to do this.
I don't disagree. Hopefully the first option (lock in recent apps) is all you need to do, that one actually makes sense.
So I've tried all that, even turned my phone screen off for awhile to test it and it STILL does it. This is beyond frustrating. I'm starting to think this is a Libretorrent issue. I probably should switch clients after this.
Edit: I seem to have find a possible solution. In the power settings there is an option to keep the phone awake. That to turn it on if the time download speed decreases when the phone screen is off. Download speed isn't my issue here as I'm not download but hopefully this will fix my issue.
What a roller coaster.. I’m checking back tomorrow!! 😁
I've fixed the problem. It was infact Libretorrents fault. There's an option buried in the power settings to keep the app awake. Shit should be on by default if you're seeding but I digress. Problem is finally solved. Now I can hopefully knock out the 7 days i need.
Ah right, I know a lot of apps that need to stay on constantly will use a notification to keep themselves awake, and it's usually not on by default because it'll murder your battery. I've had luck in the past using Flud rather than LibreTorrent, so you might try that. But my general advice would be to avoid using a phone for this; I'm guessing you'll run into similar issues with Flud.
I don't have a choice of using a pc at the moment. Libretorrent should be fine for now. Thanks for the help in this thread it pointed me in the right direction.
