Alfredu Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 SOLUTION:Having unset the option "Limit local peer bandwidth" was the reason:Thanks to everyone in this thread.-------------------- ORIGINAL POST BELOW --------------------My settings:My upload speed graph:This bug has been around for months, I've seen many threads about it, but no solution.I've tried all current versions: stable 3.3.0.29342, beta 3.3.1.29335, alpha 3.4.0.29336 - the bug persists.

ciaobaby Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Confirmed on alpha 3.4.0.29382 though it took 48+ hours to manifest. On 3.4.0.29336 < 8 hrs.?????? your screen shot shows it working okay, upload average IS below 30 KB/s.The AVERAGE is below the limit you have set.

CphD Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 It's a Global Upload Rate Limit - (think:= Speed Limit). Where did AVERAGE come from? When upload speeds surpass the limit setting, CPU usage jumps from <2-3% to >45% but immediately drops back when the "maximum upload rate" setting is no longer exceeded. A coincidence, I assume.

ciaobaby Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Spikes in data flow are NOT controllable, try and remember that BitTorrent is NOT, NOT, NOT a constant rate data protocol, spikes and transient data bursting WILL happen and WILL be recorded by the graph if you have the resolution low. so that one or two second bursts can be identified.

rafi Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 one or two second bursts But... his is 1-2 minutes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Your graph is set at 30 second intervals that means the entire span of the graph is five minutes If that spike was 1 - 2 minutes it would span two or four of the grid squares. the duration of the high transient is TWO seconds at THE ABSOLUTE maximum!

CphD Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 That graph resolution was 30 seconds w/ an "average duration" value spike of 73 kB/s. A 5 second graph surged > 172 kB/s.with one core maxed before dropping back to the limit setting. Curiously, u/l speed on this Telmex service is 324 kb/s so it must be miraculous deception. Terse explanations aside, the behavior is at odds with (bulletproof) 2.0.4 - 22150 and current stable 3.3.0 - 29342 where limits are rarely exceeded by ~2%. The CPU correlation indicates a bug, however we define rate limits. News to developers? Only confirmation of gradual improvement since 3.4.0.29336.

CphD Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Your graph is set at 30 second intervals that means the entire span of the graph is five minutes Negative. The entire graph span was 1 hour. Plot points were 30 second (step) average duration values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfredu Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 If you only told relevant info (like your active torrents, active connections, bandwidth) it would make sense to even try and answer... but as it is...noMore hostile please? I've read the sticky topic "How to report a bug" and there were no hits to pots such information, also I'm not a full time reader of this forum and I didn't know what info might be relevant for this kind of bug. I was hoping that someone with knowledge on the topic (are you?) will ask for more info then I will gladly share it. Your post does not seem helpful, but I'll answer the questions nonetheless:1. My number of active torrents is set to 2, but after several minutes there are always about 10 "seeding".2. I have a lot (~100) torrents "queued seed" on my list, I don't know if that's relevant.3. My bandwidth is 10Mbps / 1Mbps, it's ADSL2, the ISP is Orange in Poland.4. the rest of my settings:The upload speed in my case does not "spike" above the limit. It goes to full speed of my bandwidth (~100kB/s) and stays like that for long, usually until I reset uTorrent. I will try to provide a longer sample.Also, I just noticed, that on the first screenshot I posted, the moment of the upload speed going above the limit correlates with the graph of "upload speed (local peers)" going from zero to something above the limit. (What are "local peers"?).edit: more samples: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfredu Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 oh my god... is this the reason?I've never noticed this option before, I wonder in which version was it added and whether or not is it checked by default.I'll run uTorrent overnight and post here if this option was the culprit.

rafi Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Your graph is set at 30 second intervals that means the entire span of the graph is five minutesIt is not *my* graph... and if we are talking about the same picture ( http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8100/8590700402_283bf3cb25_o.png ) I strongly suggest for you do your homework first (learn about graphs, scale, resolution, reading grid-lines-interval, and legend, yes, including local peers speed)... Bold does not make things right, at least some times... oh my god... is this the reason?Yes... You see what relevant info does ?... helps Even yourself troubleshoot your own issues ...

Alfredu Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 rafi, you were the least helpful in this thread. Hostile, annoying, trolling. Your posts were not helpful at all. I wonder if this community gains anything from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I wonder ... Still, more important - is that you fixed your issue..PS: me: 4500 posts, you : 4... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuter44 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 I am not sure how this is solved,... I have gone through the topic, and tried all the suggestions, applied, re-started utorrent, applied, and tried other combinations also, and utorrent still insists on using my full upload bandwidth.With many versions being released since I started having this issue, and no fix, and I can't leave my utorrent open over night to complete d/l's because it disconnects other programs from the internet while draining my full upload power to the world. Team Speak loses connection, game clients which can only be logged back in manually, so it is very annoying.This is resolved for the guy who started the topic, but not for others, or me.I have used utorrent for years, and years,... I really don't wanna switch programs.Also very annoyed that my main e-mail that I have never used here, or been banned from anywhere before say's I can't register with it here as it has been banned. So I had to use an alt e-mail.Is this the only topic on this?Is there a trick to limit the upload speed, or a better version of utorrent that does?

rafi Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Is there a trick to limit the upload speed, or a better version of utorrent that does?No tricks, just user errors... bandwidth->apply limit to overhead + apply limit to uTP Bittorrent->limit local peersOr use my settings..."Better version"? yeah, 3.3.1 build 29704+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
