pcGnome Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 There should be a quick way to search to see if I'm duplicating someone else's bug reprot.Anyway, I like the speed graph at the bottom of the screen. It tells me when my ISP disconnects. But when I include "upload speed", it slams to a constant 5400K/s, even though the status line shows the correct upload speed (around 30-50k/s).pcGnome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 ... http://forum.utorrent.com/search.php ...?You're obviously limiting your upload incorrectly, as the only reason it'd do that is if you limited your upload speed to 5400KiB/s. Run the Speed Guide properly and leave your settings alone. Don't play around with your upload speed if you don't know what your max limit is.

Lurk Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Confirmed. "Upload" and "Upload & Download" graphs won't autoscale. "Download" graph autoscales properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 If you have an upload limit set, the graphs will scale based on your upload speed cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurk Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 AFAIR 1.5 autoscaled the combined graph regardless to upload/download cap setting and it was very handy for mixed lan/internet environment, when lan peers dl at full 100mbps but outer peers are being capped by uplink speed.

Ultima Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Because it shows the caps on the graph now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcGnome Posted July 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Sorry, Ultima, I haven't touched a thing. I installed the new version yesterday, ran the program to continue my activities, went down and pressed the "speed" button and there was only a red line across the top and a green line across the bottom. The scale in the upper left said 5400. It wasn't until I selected only "download" that I got a properly scaled graph.The previous version auto-scaled based on actual i/o bandwidth. Why on earth would it scale anything to the limit when it's never done that before?pcGnome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcGnome Posted July 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 OK, I re-read the moderator's comments. I've set the upload limit to 0 {no limit} and the graph now works like it used to.But, if you don't mind, I still kinda sorta think this is still a bug.IMHO the graph should autosize to what's actually occuring. Failing that, why does the system default on installation to something so far out of range that it defaults to a fairly useless graph?Also, it seems that the only way to autosize the upload graph is to not have limits. Can't say I like the either / or choice of that. What if I have need of a limit AND I want the graph to autosize?Maybe a flag in the advanced settings would be in order?pcGnome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Setting upload limit to 0 {no limit} will really hurt download speeds and even average upload speed will be less than setting upload limit to ~80-90% of the connection max.

Muppet Catcher Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I'm on dial-up and the speed scaling is definitly borked, with no upload or download limits setThe download graph scales to 18 Kb/s with a constant green line at the very top and the upload scales to 3 Kb/s with a similar constant red line.The upload/download graph is a kind of composite of the two and is scaled at 18 Kb/s, as might be expected.The install was a straight replacing of the utorrent.exe file and I've since gone back to 1.5 stable (I never tried the betas).MC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurk Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Shall we kindly ask Ludde to make the cap graphing optional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 @pcGnome: No, it's not "still" a bug if it's intended behavior. The most you can do, as you and Lurk both say, is suggest an option to ludde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcGnome Posted July 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Well, Ultima, I just said that I consider it a bug because it doesn't provide a way to get to where I want to go (settin a limit that doesn't affect the graph). And since you guys are in charge, then you can deny that reduced functionality is not a bug.So be it. I can live with it. utorrent is still my favorite, even with small frustations.Switeck, I think you might be wrong in your assertion that setting the upload limit to zero hurts download speed. I found this out annoyingly by accident. I clicked on the bottom status bar to bring the utorrent window to the top and inadvertently hit that little orange dot and the speed guide popped up. Silly me, I selected a connection speed different from the default. I have a 6m connection and the choices are 2 and 10, so I picked 2. Instantly that third red line appeared and my graph locked at 186k and instantly my dowload speeds dropped from about 160k to about 60k. I went and checked and sure enough, my upload cap had been set to 186. I reset it to 0, but my deficient speed did not increase.Of course, there's every possibility that setting a difinitive speed did something else that I'm not aware of that affects my ability to download, but how on earth would I track that down?Oh, just noticed that my "maximum numberr of downloads" had been decreased from 20 to 8 without my permission or knowledge.pcGnome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
