Jade Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 I've just noticed the behaviour in 1.1.7.2. Is this a bug or a feature? I use the scheduler quite a lot for to use offpeak (night) quota, but to keep seeding during the day, so I force start completed torrents. Unlimited uploads stalls web and other traffic during the day, so I have to manually limit the forced torrents, which is a bit tedious. Any chance to get this behaviour fixed or changed (if it's a feature)? Cheers!Thanks for a fantastic client! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Read the explanation in this topic. Basically, forcing a torrent causes it to behave outside of the rules you set for any normal torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 ok, so it's a feature. Fair enough. Thanks for the reply!Nevertheless, it'd be great to have some way of globally limiting all forced torrents. But maybe that should be a feature request then, rather than a bug...

ludde Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 A forced torrent should still adhere to the global speed limits.Can I see a screenshot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 A forced torrent should still adhere to the global speed limits.That's what I thought! Excellent, so it *is* a bug Can I see a screenshot?Certainly. Thanks for looking into this. Shot1.png is taken with forced seeding, and activated scheduler, global upload limit set to 60 KB/s.Shot2.png is taken with normal seeding, scheduler deactivated, same global limit.FYI: my total upload b/w is ~85 KB/s, so it's definitely not saturated.Also, while I have your attention: Is the jagged upload graph by design also or are there plans to smoothen it out a bit?

ludde Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 You're right.The scheduler currently affects only queued torrents. I wonder how to solve it, since Forced torrents can't be queued....What is your scheduler upload limit set to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 You're right. The scheduler currently affects only queued torrents. I wonder how to solve it, since Forced torrents can't be queued....What is your scheduler upload limit set to?Thanks, your comment helped me to find a workaround (see below). My scheduler is set to completely stop all torrents during the day. I'm not using the light green "Limited" setting at all - my schedule is either "Full" (at night) or "Stop" during the day:I've done some experimenting and found out that forced torrents adhere to the "Limited" upload limit in the scheduler box, rather than the global upload limit. I haven't tested download limits, but I'd assume this setting behaves the same.I guess that's a bug, and if it's not, it's pretty un-intuitive. I would have never figured this out by myself.Anyway, I'm happy now Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
