section31 Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 ABC had a really neat option that allowed you to have two max upload speeds. One speed to use when you're downloading at least one torrent, and the other max upload setting was used only when you're seeding. Does anyone else want this feature?

section31 Posted September 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 I also would like to see this featureOut of all the other popular clients, I find it strange how that was the only client that had that feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 I definitely agree. I think it's a good feature to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okasvi Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 there is already something like that... Global upload speed, Torrent specific upload speed, IF download speed below ??? THEN upload speed = ???...arent those enough??? eg. if you want to cap upload speed to eg. 20kb/s when only seeding set "if download speed below ??? then upload speed" to eg. 1kb(traffic between peers while seeding shouldnt go over that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kookie Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 The idea is to cap the upload slightly while downloading, then remove the cap or increase the upload speed when only seeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Yet oksavi is right, Why not use the "If Download is below X set upload cap to Y" ? Its exactly the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgoo Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 i like it more to cap download speeds for a stable upload... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kookie Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 It's the last thing under network options.Does it overide the global upload setting though? If I set a the global upload to 25KB then use "if download speed less < 0.1KB then set upload limit to 32KB" will that work or will I still be limited to 22KB. Basically I want to be able to max out my upload if I'm only seeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okasvi Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 i would like to hear from ludde how it works...if it counts non-data traffic into whole download speed then 0.1kB/s might be big enough so that rule would be met never...so to be safe use eg. 1kB/s to maximize upload to 32kB/sif you really start thinking about how to get 100% control over speeds and rules what they are set for µTorrent needs small scripting language where would be certain events(download complete, new torrent, etc.), timers(for doing checks eg. every ?mins on torrents in queue "if seeds < 2 then start seeding"), some variables like UploadSpeedGlobal, DownloadSpeedGlobal, and other settings like thosethat would be superb but i think it might too much for ludde to start coding now :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Azureus also has an optional "max upload rate when only seeding" feature in the latest builds. Its very handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordP929 Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 I also second that this would be a great feature to have. In ABC, my previous client of choice, when downloading you wanted to maximize your download speed when downloading and when you were seeding the converse was true. I agree with the rest of the posts that the current implemenation where upload speeds vary based on download speeds should be changed to upload speeds vary based on seeding/downloading status.Also if a comprehensive disection of the client was done like. in this post [pre-1.1b] Evaluation will the features more likely get included? I'd be willing to make my own comprehensive comparisons.Cheers on great client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Determination Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 almost all my requests have been implemented, and I really haven't done anything special other than that first evaluation...

ceedee Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Does it overide the global upload setting though?

Basically I want to be able to max out my upload if I'm only seeding.Just tried exactly those settings... And no, the "if download speed less <" option does not override the global upload setting! :x In case the requests have been misunderstood, what we're asking for is a control to *increase* the upload rate (preferably to infinity) while not downloading.
