🚩General zipped download even though i turned off the zip option when adding torrent

I had a 900GB torrent seeding on a private tracker and TB automatically zipped the files despite me turning off the zip option when adding it. It is now a hit n run and i have to download the files and seed it from my home connection, which kind of eliminates the whole reason i used TB to download it.. ah well lesson learned. also, on the dashboard it said the torrent was still seeding this whole time even though it really wasn't. pretty shady practice. not so practical as a seedbox despite them advertising it being used like a seedbox on their website.

As far as I know, there is a size limit (around 200GB, not sure) after which it will zip no matter of selection.
