More allegorical feedback, well worth the 2 cents you paid.....:/ I have no specific firm data, but after a couple of heavy weeks of testing I've found that the 3.3 family is better optimized to take advantage of speed and it seems better at shaping traffic when you select bandwidth (high, normal, medium) for particular downloads although all versions could do better at this (without hand setting limits that is). I have a connection that will allow on the order of 80kBs with bursts up to 104kBs with nothing else happening on the local network. The built in F5 test shows I should be using 70kBs as a "set" speed. 3.3 has been optimizing the openings and "pinning" the upload to all available bandwidth and readily adjusting downward if there is any other traffic on the lan or any use on the computer. This is in comparison to 2.2.1 which is extremely low cpu, and very efficient but it does not use both the upload and download possibilities anywhere near as well. It acts as though I hand selected an upper limit (below my peak) and it just sits there running happily along at a somewhat reduced rate in comparison. That behavior is fine unless you're on a private tracker and your doing everything in your power to seed to get your ratio. So, somewhere after 2.2.1 things are looking better for network efficiencies? Data (somewhat non-scientific). 2.2.1 runs a little less than 50kBs with sometimes approaching 60kBs. 3.3 (the 2 new builds) runs well over 60kBs and mostly at least 70kBs with bursts rates sometimes reaching 104kBs (rare) and ofter above 80kBs for short stretches and readily accounts for other computers on the lan and then readjusting up pretty fast when they get done. (PS, sorry I can't test the other earlier "3"s because of my old machine not tolerating the "disk" issue.) (PSS, all settings concerning DHT, PEX, etc., etc. are the same. I mostly have all that turned off except in special cases.) (PSSS, is this type of feedback useful?) Thx

This is just feedback to confirm that 3.3 Alpha (build 28038) has issues with upload speed limits. I upgraded from (build 27994) were the limits worked fine. When I first upgraded it worked for a while, but I was screwing around a lot changing everything and I thought maybe just overdid it. So there "could" be a data corruption issue with upload limits but I'm not sure. I reinstalled (build 27994) over the top of (build 28038) and limits are functioning correctly. So I didn't in fact have to delete my settings.dat file to get limits to work again. Also, I can confirm that on a single core (P4) processor, that the cpu is indeed running right around 30% for 3.3, without any additional apps running. Other than that, it's looking good for me. Keep up the great work!
