uTorrent is not limiting download or upload

[jeth]

Hello, I'm using uTorrent in Windows Vista, but it is not limiting my upload or download rates no matter what limit I set, it just ignores the settings.

My current version is 1.7.5. I downgraded it to 1.7.4 and had the same problem.

Are you sure you are under Ctrl-P -> Connection? Also under Ctrl-G what settings do you have there?

Yes I'm sure, right now my download is limited to 20 kb/s but i'm downloading at 80 kb/s, check this out:

AHHA! that did it.

You notice the taskbar lists L: figure. You want Ctrl-P -> BitTorrent -> Limit local peers

Edit: Were you expecting the peers connected to you to be considered "local" to your area/region/ISP ??

I've never seen a real-live local peer. I've made some through loopback and LAN addresses, but never a real-live one in a swarm

If however you wish to keep good speeds to them don't enable the local throttling, but be advised that's why you are downloading faster than you set it up to be :cool: I wish I could find a local peer on any of my swarms.

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.

Thank you guys, that solved.

Actually I didn't even see that option, but would be surprising to find a local peer in a swarm (I'm always checking the peers connected to me since they put the flags thing, which is kinda cool)
