User0021348 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I have just been upgraded to version 2.0.4, and I keep my torrents speed limited as I am on a puny 240 gig/month cap.Now, after this upgrade, I went to force download a smaller torrent in order to make it bypass the speed limit I set, and it did absolutely nothing.Please, could you guys tell me if this is a common problem?I have been forced to pause the torrents I had on download, unlimit the speed, download that one, re-limit the speed, and unpause the others.It is getting quite tedious, and seems highly unnecessary given that force download used to make it so easy :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User0021348 Posted September 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 not at all, my connections limit is close enough to unlimited so as not to matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Too many torrents already started?If you had 100+ torrents started, uTorrent could be taking its time making outgoing ip connection attempts on EACH, and thus not getting to your force started torrent very quickly.

User0021348 Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 around 50 are going, as I just tried it again.I have a 50k upload limit (so that browsing is not affected), and a 1k download limit (so that quota is not used up)Overheads on each put them ~2.5 over, but force downloading is still doing nothing, even when an item is #1 in the list, with high priority,A friend of mine made a comment that he thought force downloading was essentially for queue jumping, and not for ignoring speed limits, and was pleased with this change.Was he correct?If so, an "ignore limits" function would be most appreciated, as all other torrent clients treat force download as ignore limits :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Indeed, forced torrents bypass queueing rules only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Did you try "Seed Only" mode in Scheduler?And then use Force Download for the 1 torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User0021348 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Seed only does not limit my seeding rate, and I would like it to be unlimited when we are not likely to be browsing.If you do not mind my asking, why was that change made?Every other torrent client has force download as a mode which bypasses speed limits...It is easier to move a torrent up and down the queue than it is to pause everything, unlimit the speed, download a torrent and then relimit the speed...
