having problems limiting bandwidth on vista PC

[peteranthony]

Im not an expert, but has anybody had this problem with the new stable 1.7.2 version of the U torrent software...

Am running vista home premium and just cant limit bandwidth either using scheduler or global limiting...

Im not having any probs on my other laptop running XP pro...

Am I being really stupid or have I perhaps found a bug???

Be nice with replies as I really dont know this software very well, Pete...

Preferences -> bittorrent -> Limit Local Peers (uncheck that)

i'd say it's a bug (every peer is considered local so u cant limit anything ), but it hasnt been officially confirmed (not that i know of..)

Thats a bug. Speed is not limited at all. Im using 1.7.2 stable and windows vista ultimate. When i check "Limit Local Peers bandwidth" download speed goes down from 1000K to 10K. Thats if i set a limit of 200K for that torrent. There are no local peers for that torrent, thats for sure, but there are other local peers for other torrents. Hope that this helps.

Hm, enough people have complained about this with Vista, so I'm with dAbReAkA here... it does tend to sound like it is a bug (or at least it's definitely something worth looking into). I don't have any official word, though; just an opinion.
