Override maximum upload rate

[nick_white]

Hi,

I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but here it goes:

If I have the global maximum upload rate setting to, say, 10 KB/s and I override a torrent's maximum upload rate (from the torrent properties window) to something higher, then the torrent's rate is ignored.

uTorrent 2.2 (build 23703)

Windows XP SP3

"Count to 5 by 10's, stop at 20."

It is nonsensical for 1 torrent's upload speed to be set higher than the global max, so the global max is respected.

I don't think it's nonsensical at all -- I would love this feature. Why? Because I'm metered for uploads and downloads. I only run at 20kB/s out of a theoretical max of 128. I may just want to initial seed one torrent for a while though at a much higher rate that the aggregate (for ratio boost, because I'm the uploader and initial seeder, etc).

Does that seriously not help aid in the decision for an override?!

Surely it isn't hard to code this up...

I want this too. I don't want to go over my monthly bandwidth cap (my ISP hates torrents, even legal ones; I have a friend who received a warning) so I limit my upload a lot, but sometimes I like to seed a torrent at a higher rate when it needs seeds and would like to be able to "break the speed limit" with a torrent in this manner without having to set my global upload speed higher and setting a lower max upload speed for every other torrent every time I want to do this.
