Still makes it kaboom, but the disk cache is actually able to catch up in this version where it would just get stuck before, so... half way fixed?

You can see the gap in the graph before the disk writes start occurring. In that time the cache had exceeded its bounds (32mb) for a total of 140mb or so. It only does this with that overhead option enabled, as I've been saying since... oh.. 3.0. ;)

So far I haven't seen the upload exceed my global limit (90). I'll continue to test though.

Some issues with 3.3 beta (build 28763):

Changelog:

--2012-12-16: Version 3.3 beta (build 28763)

- Fix: Maintain upload rate limit when download limit is turned off

More:

- Fix: Limiters do not take into account correctly network overhead when set to do so if the overhead amount exceed the limit (TCP & uTP)

Upload limiter breaks also for data after the overhead exceeds the set limit

Not yet fixed:

- The upload limit seems to be off by about 10-30KB/s *only when* there is no download limit set

- File IO: write operations do not coalesce data to the set value, causing speed degradation due to possibly inefficient write cache operation

- File IO: Download will not finish (endlessly flushing) at the end of download with some analigned torrents

- Seeding: Unbalanced seeding speed distribution to seeding jobs (speed cut to 0), when there is an active downloading job *plus* there is an upload limit set (seems to behave well balanced when there is *no* upload limit )

- Add-Torrent – sub-folder control is still gone AWOL…

Guys, I updated to latest 3.3, and it's only one thing I'd like a little help about...

My connection can download with 2.0MB/s. Currently I'm downloading with 1.2-1.4MB/s, but still it affects my browsing speed. If I apply "rate limit to transport overhead", the speed goes down to 200-300KB/s.

Any advice to keep ~1.5MB/s without affecting my browsing speed? Shouldn't a margin of 0.5MB/s be enough?

At least, the "Skip files" has been fixed, it was a major pain having to download everything included in a torrent.

Look at my tips/sig. The upload limit (which you didn't way what is your connection's max) is the key issue. Set it to ~80% of your max, or use my sample settings and modify it.

Just wanted to express my immense gratitude for implementing torrent filter. Greatly helpful.

Yea... such a simple feature, yet so long delayed.

Usually happens for large projects, they drown in their own bureaucracy, and nobody can get simple shit like this done. :)

With what max connection speed? How about try using my example-settings (backup yours, and modify mine) ? vv

30M/5Mbit, nothing was changed in the settings, while v3.2 downloads with 3,5-6 mbyte/s and uploads with 625 kbyte/s simultaneously, then v3.3 downloads with max speed, but burns down the hard drive (It's writing constantly and flushing at the end is really slow with multiple downloads), and the upload speeds are like 2-300k max. and this is with NO download.

bug: I set "change UL speed when not downloading" to 0, and then when not downloading the UL cap keeps switching between 0 and x kb/s, where x is the UL limit when downloading.

not downloading does not mean all dl finished, but all dl rates below the threshold ( 1 KBps at default settings ) ; just one torrent downloads suddenly more than 1 KBps, you switch automatically to "downloading" mode ; this torrent decreases to 0.9 KBps, "not downloading" mode reappears...

Are you running the latest 3.3 BETA (not alpha) ? and did you try my settings?

I was running the latest beta from 3.3. But as I understand your settings/tweaks are both good for 3.2 and 3.3 when changing from 2.x, so when I didn't change anything at all in my settings why does behave v3.3 not as v3.2? It should adapt any changes made to disk I/O settings if those are not valid any more from v3.2.

I can only try your settings when I'll run out of seeding torrents.
