2mg Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hi, beforehand, I have speed limit checked for UTP and transport overhead. Problem: When I limit the uTorrent speed, be it DL or UL, everything goes to a halt (around 0kbps), even though the torrent in process isn't stopped or paused - just stuck at 0kbps. I have to restart uTorrent each time for limits to take effect AND to continue UL/DL again. Unchecking limit for overhead fixes this, but I need uTorrent to limit the overhead too. Also, this isn't noticeable for the first time you enable overhead limiting and try to limit uTorrent's speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What version are we talking about? v3.5 44090. I use Overhead Limit+Utp Limit. Whenever I change my Upload limit, uploads drop to few kBps. Example: I'm using all my upload bandwidth unlimited, I throttle it to 150kBps, everything grinds to a halt because upload speed becomes bare minimum of a few kBps. It works if I restart uTorrent with that specific limit though. Without Overhead limit (but with Utp), limiter works just fine, but I really need to get Overhead in check.

I usually try to find something comfortable for gaming and using torrents without impact on ping. ~100kBps works, but I can't switch on the fly. See my answer above. PS: Sorry for the late response.

Overhead limit can cap/cripple your traffic more then you think, but blocking acks. You should try and live w/o this limit. Since it is proportional to the traffic (usually ~5%) and will be limited when the traffic is, why do you need to include it under the limit limit it specifically?

Because I have low tier net service here with quite big DL and low UL speeds, and I really need to fine tune both of them if I want to DL and UL while gaming or similar. I just don't understand why Overhead limiter doesn't function properly though. I can post configs if necessary, but this is a fresh Win7 installation, and the last uTorrent version gave me same troubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Just try tuning your DL and UL limits separately per your connection bandwidth, w/o limiting overhead. As I've tried to explain - this limit chokes your speeds, usually - sets the DL to the to the UL limit.... It is expected due to TCP behavior.

I tried limiting UL only, but I have to go to like 5-10kBps, which often doesn't help much as the DL creates *much* more Overhead for my comfort zone. And yes, I do limit my DL accordingly, but it's just iffy sometimes, with UL/DL spikes. Still doesn't answer why limiters behave that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I've tried your settings. I set UL to Unlimited (from your 75K), went to Options and turned on Limit Overhead, and restarted the program. I then set UL limit to 150K, it worked as expected. Set to Unlimited again, and restarted the program. I then set 50K and it throttled UL down to ~5kBps (which choked DL). I don't understand this behavior at all...
