Nuieve Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 If I have upload limit of 30kb/s and decide to increase it, I just type the desired bandwidth, hit "apply" and it automatically increases right away.This however doesn't work when I want to decrease the upload bandwidth. When I have 50kb/s set and want to reduce it to 30 kb/s, I type it in, hit "apply", "ok" and... nothing happens. It just keeps uploading at the previous speed (50 in this case). I can wait for several minutes, but it doesn't reduce the speed at all. I have to shit down the program and restart it.Any solutions?V.1.4 (build 4482) btw
jewelisheaven Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 ?lol you had me scared for a second. You're using 1.7.4. Is there a reason you haven't upgraded to 1.7.6 (it should allow you to update through the UI if you select "check for updates". I'm not sure about this problem... have you checked to see if it was addressed in the changelog?
Firon Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 Update to 1.7.6. And you probably set an alternate upload rate. Or you've got local peers.
jewelisheaven Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 local peers are denoted with "L:" tag in the status bar / title bar text.
Nuieve Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Posted January 19, 2008 Updated to 1.7.6 (I thought it did it automatically), didn't help. Anyway, this bug is not mentioned in the list of udates (I bet I'm the first one to report it). Upload rate is regular (not automatic or alternate). Have no idea where is that status bar/title bar text where L are supposed to be. Looked through all the tabs, nowhere L are to be found.
jewelisheaven Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 You'd see "D: L: T:" "U: L: T:" for the status bar (F6 shortcut) in the main uT GUI.... if you truly think its a bug, screenshots please, since the Ctrl-P and Ctrl-G panes are modal they take focus off the main GUI.. so you may need to start with just a Print Screen, and drop the extra pixels outside the uT GUI. Please upload your speed settings or alternatively the Connections and BitTorrent settings. Please also make sure "enable limits in status bar" is ticked under Ctrl-P -> General.
Nuieve Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Posted January 21, 2008 Ok, it might not be a bug after all. If I wait for few minutes the upload rates slowly goes down to the set limit. I just have to wait... I just wish it was instant though, well at least within 10-20 seconds. When it's maxxed out it takes all the bandwidth and I can't browse, sometimes I need to do it fast, and the only way to do it is to shut off utorrent.This pic is taken about 1 minute AFTER I set the limit and hit "apply".http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/4379/uscreen1pd3.jpg(sorry, image doesn't fit the screen and the text is illegible, so click on it to see it in full)
Firon Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 You can try disabling DHT and ensuring that "limit bandwidth for local peers" is enabled.
jewelisheaven Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 What Firon posts is indeed correct and was going to be my next point. However I would like to take the time to point out... those Speed Guide settings are HORRIBLY overkill on your poor 256Kbps UPLOAD 100 active torrents, EGADS. Reset the settings to xx/256 and ONLY increase if you can upload sustained past that. 100 Torrents would make even Ultima cry, and Switeck might take offense and pluck a tulip for your soon-to-be-dead connection.
Nuieve Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Posted January 21, 2008 Ok, DHT disabled, local peer bandwidth limited. Took 2.5 minutes to bring upload speed to the limit after applying it. Restarting the program takes about 10 seconds, so the winner is clear. As for 100 active torrents comment... I rarely have more than 5 torrents at once. I just ran a speed test on speakeasy (San Francisco), I got download 2500kb/s, upload 1000 kb/s.The other test showed 5750 download, 1900 upload (speedtest, also SF). I'm on cable so the speed fluctuates, I guess...
jewelisheaven Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 Why not use the settings which come with the drop down for your connection? That would be xx/1Mbit ... and you can always change your settings via the Preferences pane. I fear you have way too wayyy too much wasted bandwidth on peer communications and overhead due to the current setup. Would you like to know something funny?? Oh well, I'm going to tell you anyways . When I apply limits more often than not I get an instant spike in post-application, and then a dropout to 0 for 10 seconds until the peers re-apply themselves.
Nuieve Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Posted January 23, 2008 Ok, set the limit to xx/1Mbit. Will see how it works...
