@ Charles , i think Longinus00 is on to something here! Downloaded Transmission 2.04 (11151) and i notice the same pattern too. the "downloading from" affects the downloading speed.
>From testing behavior in Transmission 2.04 (11151) compared to earlier >Transmission-1.93 (10621) : [A] transmission is able to bring down the speed much quicker! With 1.93 it took 10 mins minimum , but with 2.04 it takes around 2mins to bring down the speed. But i notice that the number of peers "downloading from" changes randomly and the speed spikes at those times! When there is an increase , the speed is not being controlled well. Notice the speed at 18mins, that past min was high# of peers from, so the speed used was obviously higher during that min. [B] But the speed indicated by transmission in the status bar is always misleading , it quickly changes the speed to what we have set and it seems to not know the actual speed it uses. I think this bug needs to be considered in two parts: 1 : that transmission is not able to pause/control effectively the number of peers it downloads from 2 : wrong stats reported in the status bar. Oddly, even if i start transmission with the temporary speed limits it downloads at full speed and then takes the same 2mins to stabilize.. [This is the same behavior with 1.93 , only that it takes 10+mins ;-)] It seems that transmission just starts to download from everyone and then later realizes/calculates the speed it is supposed to be restricted at. There is a problem with such behavior if transmission is in the startup items : Bug #526898 , see comment #5 . Can we re-open now.. ? :-) Btw, isnt bug 563460 is a dup of this one.. ? ** Attachment added: "Transmission 2.04 (11151).7z" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transmission/+bug/460733/+attachment/1610207/+files/Transmission%202.04%20%2811151%29.7z -- Transmission BitTorrent doesn't honor speed limitation preferences https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/460733 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
