Hi everyone,
Lately I am noticing that despite reasonably low network activity, my network access speeds go down whenever transmission is seeding many torrents even if the upload bandwidth usage has been limited to 30Kbps. Pausing some of the seeding torrents usually resolves the issue. I also found that often the upload rate transmission actually uses is much higher (~50Kbps) than the set limit of 30Kbps. Is the extra bandwidth required to negotiate with peers or other related tasks? Does anyone have any pointers on how I can optimise transmission so that it doesn't slow down my internet?
The latest Transmission Beta in Rawhide has µTP support which should help. I think there are too many changes to be pushing in as an update for older releases but just a heads up
