Upload limit not working?

[glensvodka]

I have limited my upload to 50kb/s but utorrent seems to be ignoring it. I also now have 3 numbers in the lower-right of the utorrent window: U, L and T. I know what U and T are, but what's L?

I torrent via an SSL tunnel (via a local SOCKS proxy).

There's a new feature that is ENABLED to allow unlimited download/upload speed to supposedly local seeds and peers.

It's under Preferences, BitTorrent:

1.Enable Local Peer Discovery (to FIND the local peers)

and

2.Limit Local Peer Bandwidth

Uncheck #1 and check #2.

I don't recall seeing the "L" at the bottom.

[glensvodka]

Excellent, that's fixed it.

L used to be my my current upload speed minus the limit, so I guess it's the rate at which I'm uploading to "Local" peers.

Thank you!

thx this solved my issue as well

Now, the question is if this local unlimited upload is chocking your download.

Because if not then it would be better leave it on.

hmm this works in the newest 1.9 beta, but its not exact like it used to be. for example, with the previous version of uT, if i set the upload limit to 100k it would hover around 100k.

Now, when i set the upload limit to 100k it hovers around 150k... not really a problem, but a little strange, no?

You're getting many UTP peers? What are your connection settings in Preferences

Thank you for searching though the fact you're reporting the 1.9 client means you went back a bit too far, lol

connection tab: nat-pnp is checked and upnp is not.

bittorrent tab: all checked except allow local peer discovery

the upload limiter doesnt seem to be working at all now 0_o not even the global limiter.

what should i do?

oh, and im sorta a torrent newb... wouldnt know a UTP if i saw one.

[jewelisheaven]

NAT-PMP is for apple hardware generally. UPnP is another specification. Those are only relevant for your opened ports. What are your Connection settings in Ctrl-G, how many peers are you connecting to?

UTP is a new way to connect to peers which can see your upload increase. Are you seeing this 150 KiB upload in the Speedtab? Does the upload continue while you are not downloading anything? Are you using RSS?

hello, just installed new 2.0.3 beta client, and get the same problem - uT is ignoring all limits, both download and upload! It's kinda bad, cuz other guys in student apartment can't use net - I choke them hard. And there are no local peers.

[SilverDogg]

having the same problem and its pretty annoying.

Read the changelog.

bandwidth > "apply rate limit to utp connections" seems to work but greatly reduces download speeds. sorry for bumping an old post, just upgraded from 1.6.1 and wasn't getting anywhere near the speeds i was with that build.

still seems to have download speeds considerably lower, is there some download/upload ratio restrictions now?

[paintball9]

You also need to now limit uTP connections and possibly Overhead (also in preferences), both new options, seeing as you're updating from WAAAY back at 1.6.1. Theoretically, uTP should be able to throttle itself around your connection without the need for limits, but if it's not working properly (after following the speed guide) or you use limits for other reasons (bandwidth limits), you can re-enable it.

[griefage]

thanks paintball, just tried that as you were typing your reply lol.

seems that when its checked the download speeds suffer alot. this is a quick way to eat up bandwidth.
