AKDave Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I switched over to uTorrent from Azureus and Miro. After I added 15 RSS feeds from Miro this morning, uTorrent is now taking all of my download bandwidth (110kbps) even though I have no torrents running (downloading or seeding) AND I set the 'cap' to 50kbps. I have tried the following steps:disabled all my RSS feedsRestarting uTorrentrebootingRSS refresh is set for 60Presently my screen reads: "D: [50k] 107.5 kN/s"It shouldnt be sucking up all my bandwidth when I have a cap, no?Also, its been doing this for about 4 hours on its own with no relief.I've tried searching but I cannot seem to phrase my problem in a way that returns search results.Thank you.

thelittlefire Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 ... Miro? that's another client. IF you load RSS feeds which link to the FILES not TORRENTS uTorrent will happily download the data and then error out. Is this the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKDave Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 the links I added go directly to the tvrss feeds. If I select an RSS feed from the left hand column, I get all the files (episodes) available.I added back two downloads that were running before I added the RSS feeds this morning and they wont do any more than 1-4k (vs 20-30k previously) while whatever this other uTorrent process thats running uses up all available bandwidth, with no respect of the 'speed limit' settings. I cant run any other inter net application, MSNBC election video times out -- or at best is like Max Headroom from the 80's.It looks like I hit my providers daytime AUP limit and have been throttled back to 256k, and uTorrent followed right along, still using everything it can get.I wish there was a log or something that would tell me what its doing....Thanks....

thelittlefire Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 ... Log of what? You mean status messages in the Logger tab which when enabled say "Changed up/down limit to XX via Scheduler settings"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKDave Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 the log only showed invalid files for two RSS feeds that I had deleted. It was trying to grab 4 year old files that are no longer maintained, or have been rolled up into series collections.the logs were generally useless.I deleted all the RSS entries and it is no longer maxing out my connection. I moved my TV shows back to Miro and am finishing up the two files I have in uTorrent and havent figured out what I will do next.Thanks anyway..

Firon Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 If an RSS feed is linking to actual files and not torrents, it will happily download those files over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 You didn't answer anything about what TYPE of log you WERE looking for, hehI was thinking at least the idea I assumed you were talking about would be useful.If removing the RSS feeds took the traffic away... you sure those feeds from Miro were to the TORRENTS not data which Firon's hinting at.

AKDave Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 the links I entered were RSS searches, not directly for files. I could go click on a 'feed' in the left panel, which would bring up the list of files tvrss reported. However it appeared that uTorrent was trying to download early episodes that were nolonger available online. I was able to select individual episodes to download, and had two queued up for download from the RSS list.The log only reported two entries for two files that, after searching mininova and tpb, were not available.Maybe that was where it was stuck?I'll look forward to later releases with better support.

thelittlefire Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Continual tries of a URL should be reflected in the Logger tab. Did you not have Errors > RSS enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
