What is this Error ?

[DevilsOrAngels1]

When i updated to Bitcomet 1.23 i get this error whenever openning a new torrent :

Can someone help me to fix it ? My OS is win7.

Hmm... interesting.

Have you set a cap for the Global Upload Rate on the Options-->Connection page?

[DevilsOrAngels1]

Yes i set it around 30-40kb...

That does not look like a BitComet message -- the style is wrong, and BitComet does not do multilingual error messages like that. Its error messages are expressed only in the language it's configured for, or else in the default English only.

IF you set an unlimited upload rate, then bittorrent clients will suck up all of the available bandwidth on the network. If you share the network with others, this means they will encounter problems with normal web usage. (See that mob outside, with the pitchforks and torches? They are the other users on your network when you do this.) The message seems more likely to be from your own network.

That's just as well, for if you use an unlimited upload rate, then the bittorrent client shovels data up the pipe as fast as it comes to hand. A backlog usually starts to build up because your connection is asymmetrical - it's a lot bigger downstream than upstream.

TCP communication requires that every packet you receive, must be acknowledged before the sender will send you the next package. If the sender never gets your ACK, it will resend the same packet over and over again, then eventually give up on you. But if you have your upstream pipe that full, those ACKs will expire in the queue before they ever have a chance to be sent. Your client is now stumbling over itself, and if you are trying to do anything else at the same time -- websurf, chat, read email -- they will appear to stall.

If it is from your network, there's likely some network software that you have misconfigured, and this is what it's complaining about.

Ya thx for the explanation. After that i tried to look around and found out the real culprit. yup its not bitcomet but the plug-in emule xtreme v0.50a. Still i havent found the way to fix it ... is it some helps for bitcomet ? else i can just disable it <_<

There have been some complaints about that plugin. You might want to just stay with the regular plugin instead, and see if the problem goes away.

I did think they were trying to push the ed2k network harder than was really prudent anyway.

[DevilsOrAngels1]

yeah i'll try the regular plug in to see if there's any changes . Thanks for the help :D

[greywizard]

Or you could try to set a cap to the plugin upload rate too, to see if it goes away. It's probably a warning message and not a bug.

That is a sensible idea no matter which plugin you use and you should enforce it either way. You wouldn't want the plugin to cripple the BT protocol, by hogging too much of the upload bandwidth, would you?

(Not that it really will - I haven't seen very high peaks in eMule bandwidth usage - but just to be on the safe side, you could set it to something around half of the BitComet upload cap value. Or just play around with it a little and see what works best for you.)
