uTorrent not obeying "maximum upload rate"


Question

Within Preferences > Bandwidth, I have set the following:

  • Maximum upload rate: 12 KB/s
  • When not downloading: 16 KB/s

I have applied the rates to "transport overhead" and "uTP connections".

However at the moment, my client is uploading at 75 KB/s.

Any idea why uTorrent is not not obeying the set "maximum upload rate"?

When I right-click on the upload information in uTorrent's status bar, it correctly shows 12 KB/s.

I am running the latest release of uTorrent (3.1.3).

I'd hit up the uTorrent forums.

In particular the dark knight is worth talking to.

The development/community teams are very active on their forums so they should be able to help :)

I have enabled "Limit local peer bandwidth" and that appears to have solved it.

I'll keep an eye on it.

do you have anything setup under your scheduler? that could change it if you forgot to disable it.

nm.

you seem set now. but that should still only effect your speeds with people who are on the same network. which you really shouldn't have to worry about. unless you're on a school network?

The local peer bandwidth means someone on your LAN is torrenting off of you. I am inclined to say leave that setting unchecked (so long as it's not affecting your internet browsing/usage).

There is no one else connected to my LAN...

uTorrent is thinking there is someone, when there isn't. It's been mentioned multiple times on the uTorrent forums. Sounds like a long-running bug to me.

possibly. or someone is stealing your internet. jk. the chances of them torrenting the same thing you are are insane.

what build are you using 3.1.x, 3.2.x ? Edit: Nevermind - just caught your, "(3.1.3)" latest would be 27120, have you tried going to the 3.2 line.. I am running it without issue.

I will take a look at mine next time I am downloading something - but in the past I recall it was pretty always right on the button for the limit. Do you actually have uTP enabled in the bittorrent section?

Have you made any changes in the advanced section, there is something about apply bandwidth limits to tcp only? Did you set that to true? So what is your max upload pipe -- is it 75KB?

I am running the latest build - 3.1.3 (build 27120).

All the "Basic BitTorrent Features" are enabled in the BitTorrent tab. "Outgoing Protocol Encryption" is set to Forced and "Allow incoming legacy connections" is disabled.

I have not made any changes in the Advanced section.

My pipe's max. upload is around 110 KB/s.

    • Deal for those who want 1900 size electronics in their house? with 2026/7 hardware mhm.. not nice
    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
