perfriberg Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hi Guys,My problem is probably the opposite of many others.I use utorrent 2.2 (build 23703).I'm trying to limit the upload speed to 500 kB/s on one file that I'm seeding, but still the upload speed is 1.5 - 2.0 MB/sThis is even when I set limits in "Preferenses" and when I do an individual speed limit for a specific file.I have no problem with download speed....can moderate that as I want. Normally I have the window open when I download. 2.0 MB/s and up...depending on who is online and if they can coop with me. It is actually not a big problem, just want to know why I can't limit it....(not a control freak).Can it be a bug??Regards,Per Friberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perfriberg Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Thanks Switek for your fast response,However, I think I have covered your advises 1-4 + more, much more.Been using Utorrent since it was released in public and not until the 2 latest updates this phenomena showed up. As I said before, not really a problem with fast up and download, just want to know why it happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Those 1-4 are my SIGNATURE.Did you try what I suggested above that? And did it work?If the new peer/seed type using uTP connections is NOT limited, it will exceed your normal (TCP) limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfriberg Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Switek, sorry for misunderstanding.....What I meant was that I think I have studied everything I have found about speed limits, This forum was my last resort.I will test with your advise: to check apply rates with another torrent, the one I had problem with was removed yesterday as it reached the ratio 1: 10....use to let them run to Ratio 10 before I remove them.But I hadn't checked that box....will do that now..Thanks.

perfriberg Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Will update you with the result, when I have one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfriberg Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Dear Switek,ticking the "apply rates" doesn't make any difference. Up loading at the moment with a speed of about 1MB/s, even rates are set to 500 kB/s for this torrent. Then I have a few other ongoing as well...gives a total speed of 1.2MB/sregards,Per Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Then try this!Under Preferences, BitTorrent: CHECK Limit local peer bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfriberg Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Something happened, but not what I'm looking for.The total download speed went down to about 250 kB/s and download speed almost died...have two files on download....about 350 kB/s each...went down to about 30 kB/s each.BTW. this version of utorrent . (v 2.2) freezes for a few minutes everytime I make a change under preferences, to it....normal? never happened with earlier versions.Normally I disagree with people saying: it was better before.....but now???regards,Per Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfriberg Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 sorry...that should be total upload speed went down to about 250..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 "BTW. this version of utorrent . (v 2.2) freezes for a few minutes everytime I make a change under preferences,"Stands to reason uTorrent is almost locking up...and no, that shouldn't be happening.1st link in my signature, last post. I still don't know enough about your conditions to determine the cause. My guess is the speed went way down because the torrent conditions changed and/or other problems you're having (causing the freezing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfriberg Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 About the freezing: This happens not only on my computer...that are running W7, 64 bit's, it also happens on my son's computer that are running a W Xp, 32 bits....he is running a Chinese version but I don't see that it would matters...About the speed...lets just forget about it....it doesn't harm and it probably keep some peers happy as they can download faster from me....I have to stop prioritize uploads...simple as that...But DAMN...it is annoying not to know why it doesn't work as it should....I still think it is some kind of bug in the program....everything have been working fine for years till I got this new version...regards and thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Under Preferences, Bandwidth: CHECK Apply rate limit to uTP connections.If that did not work, are your peer/seed connections even uTP? (Or do you have uTP/bandwidth management disabled?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfriberg Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 uTP management is enabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Try with uTP disabled. You may need to restart torrents or all of uTorrent to take effect.If that doesn't work, about the only other possibilities are overheads and Teredo/IPv6.Can you post a screenshot of just the speed graph (set to upload+download and 5 second resolution) with the download/upload bar under it, so I can be sure of what you're talking about? (This way I'll know if it's download-induced overheads or something FAR worse.)For SCREENSHOTS, post it here!: http://www.imageshack.us/...then put the link to it in your post.

Switeck Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Seems uTP is causing the max limit overshoot.Under Preferences, Bandwidth... Apply rate limit to uTP connections is checked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfriberg Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 It is now...lets see what happens...I will keep you posted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfriberg Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Yes Sir,With the box: Apply rate limit to uTP connections checked, I can put breaks on my uploads.Now I'm able to put individual limits on the torrents.Thank You very much for taking your time to guide me through this.Regards,Per Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfriberg Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 However, the program is still freezing when I do changes in preferences to it. Up to one minute, sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Does Process Explorer show lots of DPC and interrupt activity? (>5% on the cpu regularly)And are there any non-Microsoft DLLs in utorrent.exe's memory space according to Process Explorer?1st link in my signature, last post, end of that for how to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfriberg Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 As you say, cpu is about 5%, only non MS dll is one that belongs to BitDefender = midas32.dll, but not in utorrent's memory space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Dang, can you check Process Explorer during a uTorrent freeze?I'm hoping there's a big cpu spike on either uTorrent or some other program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfriberg Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 not very big spike...cpu went up to just below 30%, one svchost jumped up to above 150 000K, then calmed down to and are staying at 89 500...other svchosts are between 1 600K and 8 900K all together 12 of them not incuding the 89 500 one.
