limiting U/L speed

I'm not sure if this is this is the best part of the forum into which to post this but...

Since installing and running version 1.4, I am unable to limit my upload speeds with any version from 1.22 onwards. Download limitation works fine.

Any ideas?

You can limit your upload speed just fine... you sure you didn't turn on the scheduler or "Alternate upload rate when not downloading"?

In any case, try deleting settings.dat and settings.dat.old from %AppData%\uTorrent

Thank you for your extremely prompt reply.

I'll try your suggestion and advise of my success.

So far so good.

Your proggie is good enough for a mac version. I don't suppose you have the resources for that, eh?

Actually I need to take that back. Upload speed has shot up again.

Tired with multiple versions, deleting the old settings files each time.

How bizarre!

U/L speed seems to be holding on version 1.2.2.

Problem seems to start as soon as I enable the scheduler.

I'll test more with other versions.

The scheduler overrides the Global upload rate. Always.

The scheduler overrides the Global upload rate. Always.

Ahhh huh!! THAT explains it!!

Would it not be better to have the 'global' variables override the scheduler variables?

Can you consider such a change to your sowtware design?

The problem is that when people set a schedule, they often set it because at that certain time, they can upload/download at much greater speeds... Some ISPs charge by how much you transfer, but give free hours, where you can download as much as you want without it counting toward your transfer total. The point of the scheduler is so that you won't have to set it manually, and what if you forget to change the global limit? Then the scheduler becomes useless.

I suppose an option like "Obey global speed limits" can be added without too much hassle (I think)... Hm...

Yes I understand the purpose of the scheduler. I'd like for my U/L to NEVER exceed a certain figure - otherwise my downloads suffer greatly.

If the scheduler can operate within the bounds of 'global' variables, that would seem to make more sense to me. Or perhaps consider having the U/L speed determined independently of the scheduler?

What do you think?

There are even a few oddball ISPs that allow fast upload speeds but penalize you immensely if you download very quickly during certain hours.

Well, "Full Speed" does indeed use the Global limits, but when you use the "Limited" mode, it uses those limits and ignores the global limits.

So what are the chances of having 2 schedulers?

Here's my situation...

When my upload speed exceeds about 12 kB/ps my download speeds suffer. This doesn't bother me when I'm asleep - I'd like to upload faster then.

Now I have 2 download quotas. One for peek and one off peak. I have TWICE as much data available to me during off peak. So the download scheduler is useful to me. But since it allows full upload speed along with full download speed, it is of no real use to me.

So what's the chance of getting a better scheduler?

You don't seem to get how to use it. You can set one of the limits you want into the scheduler in the "Limited" hours, and then set the other limits in the Global limits, which would take effect in the Full Speed hours.

Yes but then the problem aries if the scheduler is active during my off peak times.

Since the scheduler overides the other settings, there's no way to limit my upload speed during the unlimited periods.

Or at least this is my experience.

It only overrides when it's in Limited hours, Full Speed use the global limits
