Title: aMule doesn't respect upload bandwidth limit
Post by: DexterF on January 19, 2005, 05:03:54 PM

As soon as I set the up limit to 6k/s or higher, aMule maxes out my 128kBit DSL upload.
http requests become real slow, like on 56k modem, email retrieval slows to a crawl.
quering the router about line usage confirms: bare aMule, nothing else running set to 4k/s limit consumes something between 5 and 9, changing per second.

Yeah, well, hum, it's known that under certain circunstances, aMule is loving to use about 4kb more of the bandwith set. This is being addressed AND code that produces it will be found and terminated in a painful way :)

you are right i have the same problem the complete up and download breaks down.
so a hint for you change back to rc7.
in my case amule uses always, even if configure it to use only 2kb, the full bandwidth  so it's completly unusable for dsl user...

You sure your problem is with bandwidth and not with max connections and max conenctions/5 sec limits? those a re famous for resetting routers and DSL modems...

Not here at least. Linux router. Can handle a shitload of conns.

Title: upl limit is 2kbps but upload is >15kbps
Post by: denis on February 04, 2005, 03:37:07 AM

I have max connections set to 70, max sources set to 100, and new conn to 5, and upload bandwith set to 2kbps.
But the graph of my ADSL modem (160k/2432k) indicates 160kbits/s, my entire upload bandwith, taken by aMule it self, despite the limit was supposed to be 2kBytes/s...
It's an aMule 2.0.0 RC8 problem? the RC7 didn't have it?

Anyway, for me, aMule 2.0.0 RC8 is unusable.

denis,

Be sure not to mix Line Capacities with Bandwidth Limits on the Connection tab in preferences.

Line Capacities is used only to generate the graphics in statistics. The field you want is inside the Bandwidth limits panel. I have ADSL 256/128 here, if set it to 7 it works fine. There seems to be a bug, which is beein addresed, that aMule is using 4 KB/s more upload than the specified, but other than that, it works fine.

Cheers!
