Exactly when did this change occur?
Also, if you could prepare screenshots of your setting and bitcomet downloading above your set limits it may help our development team to diagnose any possible problems. Guides for making and posting screenshots can be found in our forum.
Also please specify if your noticing this with only bittorrent tasks, or all tasks.
sorry about that , seems i repeated the same pic, retry …/monthly_02_2011/post-60937-12968438967486.png" rel=“”>

Indeed, it looks like the set limit is being disregarded.
Are the torrents, private or public?
If they are public check on the Peers tab, when this happens. Is all the download speed coming from BT peers?
This isn’t a new issue, if you’ll recall. A previous version was also ignoring the upload limit, though I disremember which version that was. Looks like it came unfixed.
edit - That was the upload limit not being respected, not download. I’ve never really had occasion to lower my download limit, ever, so I wouldn’t have seen this problem if it did exist.
If you didn’t notice this question, please do so now as it is important.
Exactly when did this change occur?
You said you had used bitcomet for a long time and this problem suddenly appeared. We need to know what changes caused it to appear. Did you make changes to your system? did it occur immediately after updating to a new bitcomet version?
Also, what windows version are you using?
Did you guys notice that his first screenshot of his settings show the global max download set to unlimited?
I’m wondering if there is no problem here at all, other then he expect an instant change in download speed when changing settings. On such a slow connection he will continue to get requested download data for some time after changing settings.
Can anyone reproduce this problem?
i believe this just started occuring about 10 days ago . under peers i will attatch snapshot, i think i will finish this last torrent and reinstall the program , i havent made any changes to my pc lately , so i dont think thats the issue , if i cure it by reinstalling i will post y result ,thank/monthly_02_2011/post-60937-12969322285298.png" rel=“”>

you for helping
This is a public torrent and your getting most of your download from LTseed connections (over 300kB/s) and very little from bittorrent (under 30kB/s). This tells us a where to look to reproduce the condition.
It’s possible that there is a problem with limiting the LTseed max download speed, but until you came across a torrent with a large number of LTseeds, this wasn’t noticeable.
It’s also worthy to note that on this specific torrent, no other client would be likely to give you this performance because BitComet is the only client that uses this type of connection. Without the LTseed connections you would be limited to only bittorrent peers, and in this case are only providing 29kB/s.
Thank you for providing the screenshots.
I recommend we move this to the bug report section and alert Lucy to notify development, unless someone can suggest another cause for this.
I think that sounds more than OK.
I too, still see the upload limit being constantly exceeded in v.1.26.
As kluelos says, that was an issue of older versions and it seems to have survived into this one.
I remember having reported this and even posting detailed screenshots regarding this issue a while back.
Basically the behavior remained the same, namely, whenever LT-Seeding is enabled and uploading the set upload limit will be constantly exceeded by about 5-6kB/s (on my setup which is XP SP3 and on my connection which is 4Mbps/384KBps; I don’t know about other conditions). If I disable LT-Seeding the upload speed will stay confined within the set limit.
Besides, after disabling LT-Seeding globally, the set limit (on Statistics tab won’t be modified) and BC keeps uploading through LTS at about 3kB/s, for quite long.
It seems that either fixing this got delayed or the team was unable to reproduce it, in order to trap the bug.
Now that also the download limit doesn’t seem to work correctly, perhaps this issue will be addressed as a whole if the team will be able to reproduce it.
i reinstalled BC ans all seems well now , thanks for helping
Keep an eye on your torrents and if you see your max limits being exceeded again, please take note if the excess is LTseed peers. In the meantime we are going to treat this as a verified bug and I’m moving this topic to bug reports.
Thank you for reporting, this development team will deal with the bug.
