Azureus throttling problem

Setting a global upload speed has no effect, anyone had this problem?

Also, is there a way to disable Azureus to check for updates every time it starts?

Re: Azureus throttling problem

Why no replies? Either the answer is trivial and I'm dumb as woodchip or you're thinking like me: this problem shouldn't exist. I've never run in to it before and my intuition tells me it's a bug in azureus. Does anyone know exactly how azureus implements throttling? BTW I'm using Sun's jre. Arch is set-up quite basically, no config artefacts

[johan@johan-desktop ~]$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode)
[johan@johan-desktop ~]$

I guess I should clarify that by global I mean global for and within azureus, as opposed to torrent-specific. It is illustrated in the screenshot by the blue line.

Re: Azureus throttling problem

The only input I can provide, in case you're oblivious in that matter, is that there are lots of nice and more lightweight than Azureus clients out there, some of them equally featureful. To name a few, for different needs: KTorrent, deluge, QBittorrent, transmission and rtorrent. In theory they all should honor upload limits ;-)

Perhaps you should put that issue to the attention of Azureus devs/community.

Re: Azureus throttling problem

Have some patience, not everyone uses azureus.

I also use azureus and have no problems with upload cap.

Mine is set at 60k (upload is 768 kbits/sec) and only goes above that when i have finished a download and it goes super-seeding for  a
few minutes.
(The upload status shows seeding+ in that case)

Re: Azureus throttling problem

I gave Deluge a try, and it seems to be a very promising client. It's lightweight, configurable and stable. My only problem with it is that it isn't fast. I've tried alot of torrent clients before ending up with azureus, and none of them offered the same performance as azureus. I have a 10Mb symmetrical connection (connects as 100 and I've had transfer rates up to 32Mb/s, so clearly 10 is only the "minimum guarantee" ) and azureus just seems to perform really well at high speeds. I also suspect it is really more configurable than any other client.
