flynch01 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Although this is really a 1.8 problem (possibly) I'm getting the problem in 1.7.I upgraded to 1.8 Beta, and suddenly a strange restriction came into place. Every 1kb upload equalled 12kb download. If I had 1kb upload restriction, it downloaded at 12kb, 2kb upload gave me 24kb. At first I thought this was a tracker restriction. However it seems no matter what I torrent this ratio is in place. I assumed maybe 1.8 had a built in ratio guard or something. So I went back to 1.7.7, but suddenly its happening there too. I havn't found any options that make that happen.Theres no port problems, as It's always worked and I've used ports many times for hosting servers so I'm sure it's good. So what is causing this?Also, after going back to 1.7.7 it changed to 15kbps per 1kb. Whats going on =/ (Note: After installing 1.7.7 on my other PC, the downloads works as I would expect, no ratio restrictions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 As you see in the General tab, 1 KiB upload makes that torrent [Limited] It's similar to http://utorrent.com/faq.php#What_does_Download_Limited_in_the_status_bar_mean.3F except it's not global, it's on the torrent level.

flynch01 Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I always have a cap of 10, so why is it only happening now? And why only after I go to 1.8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 As I explained, torrent upload limits in 1.8 which are under 3 KiBps create the [Limited] behaviour you're seeing. That's why the developers added the tag, so you SEE prominently you are not getting "unlimited" download but being imposed to a 12x limit (creating ~ equal download limit to the global "download limited" ... 5 KiB=30 down limit global, 3 KiB=36 down limit on the torrent)The expansion of "leeching protection" was added to per-torrent in 1.8.

overfiend06 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 How do I remove this "anti-leech" protection? I'm uploading from a remote server so uTorrent thinks I am just leaching which is not the case....what can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Don't set uploads below 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
