Bandwidth scheduler unable to stop torrents.

I have the scheduler plugin set to the "turn off" category at some times of day. Since upgrading to 2.2, only some of the torrents stop at the scheduled time. I haven't found any pattern behind which torrents stop or not.

Is there a trick that I have missed or is this a bug? At the moment I'm getting around this just by closing the application instead.

I just registered for the forums to report this same problem. This is a big problem for me as I share a really slow DSL connection with family, and I only get to use Bit Torrent during the night because our upload bandwidth is so low and using BT completely frells everyone else's ability to use the internet.

If I can't trust the Bandwidth Scheduler to stop my bit torrent activity at the time I specified, I have to go back to the horror that is turning off bit torrent when I go to bed and cutting my download and seeding time in half! The bandwidth scheduler is 90% of the reason why I stayed with ktorrent after I tried it originally.

We will check it out, it's probably a minor bug.

I got this bug too!
I set it to come on at midnight and stop at 17:00, it stopped and then restarted again about ten seconds later. Will it be fixed soon? or do you recommend going back to the previous version? Can I go back without losing my partial downloads?

Right, and you downloaded, compiled and installed the latest code from our SVN repository ?

Fixed for me

Thanks for the fix, it seems to be in the (k)ubuntu/feisty repositories.

EDIT: My bad, the fix is not in there, I haven't tested the svn code (and likely won't), it did stop temporarily, but then restarted.

I got an update this morning through ubuntu - my scheduler has now stopped working, previous to this I had no problem.

Edit - Apologies - yes I'd been updated but Ubuntu hadn't updated me to 2.2.1- didn't look which ver it was - I have done so myself and yes the scheduler is working javascript:emoticon(':wink:')

Couldn't tell you that - I use Fiesty

But the version I was updated to from the Fiesty repos didn't work - had to get the update from here

Just checked the Fiesty repo and it is now showing the same version 2.2.1

Back to working

Fri Aug 03, 2007 1:17 am
Update came in today and the fix seems to work in kubuntu/feisty now and has stayed for several minutes. My thanks to the developers for the fix.

Version is: 2.2.1.-0ubuntu1~feisty1
