I just felt to download and install KT 2.0rc1, and it's a pity, the same phenomenon appeared again: arbitrary download speed at any limitation.
What went wrong?

All bugs relating to this should be fixed in the current SVN version.

I hope so. Thank you very much.

I have the same problem with the ktorrent traffic shaper. For instance, I set the maximum download speed to 5KB/s and ktorrent insist to eat my whole bandwidth (32KB/s). This definitely isn't caused by connection overhead (except for a bug in "overhead" code). I've tried 2.0b1, ktorrent-08-07-06.tar.gz (SVN) and ktorrent-22-07-06.tar.gz (SVN).

At rare times ktorrent is able to manage correctly the download limit. But normally not.

Hi all,
In first, i'm a french guy, so my my english is... a few poor ! Sorry for faults or missunderstands
I installed ktorrent 2 month ago for my new linux computer (my first linux). I'm using fedora core 5. I have the same problem: download limit about 20Kb/s, but I know that my connection is better: 4.5MB in down and 128KB in up. So, it's strange that ktorrent not using all my bandwidth.
I have a router, but i think it is ok about the port forwarded.
I try to update ktorrent (now: 2.0.3) and svn (subversion: last version by yum).
But the problem persist. Any idea about the cause and the solution?

bye

Wait, you set a download limit of 20 KB/s and ktorrent is not using all of your bandwith ? That seems to be normal.

lol, euh, it's not what I would say.
In the configuration panel, I set no limit (0) but the download speed is never more than 20Kb/s. Do you understand what i mean?
Sorry for the confusion

Ah, I see, first of all have you tried with a popular torrent where you get good seeders like, a torrent of a popular linux distro ?
Also have you compared with other clients ?

Thanks for your answer Georges.

I tried with the FC5 distrib, but there is the same result. I test that about 2 weeks ago. I try again this night, and I look the results tomorrw morning. I tried with azureus, but not connection are incoming. Anyway, I'm not an AZ-lover.
Concerning popular torrents, i tried again with torrents with -by exemple- something like 200 seeders and 600 leechers. Could the problem is about the tracker? But I use differents trackers...

Before my new linux server, I was using utorrent (no pub; there is an only windows client ) and it work very well. That's why, i think that is not about my router configuration.
Do you think that it could be fixed on the developpement version (the version where we must compile the sources)? I have a problem with the compiler C. I search to resolve it. Can i compile whitout the terminal? By another program?
Thanks for your time.

No connections are incoming, hmm, can you post your log file ? You can find it here :
~/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/log

It is probably not tracker related, but your log file should help to determine this.

First we need to determine what the problem is, before we can start fixing things.

Have you got gcc installed ? You will also need development packages for KDE and Qt to compile KT.

Ok, I'm going to send to you my logfile by email(gmail).
For the dowload results, i tried finally with ubuntu (fc5 was down yesterday night). Ktorrent download about 300Mo in 10hours. But in the same time, my download rate wasn't more of 20Kb/s..
I tried an other client (rtorrent) and it download only 90Mo during the night.
In my logfile, i saw a lot of 'timeout'. Apparently Ktorrent no don't connecting with sucess to other peers. But normally, with a lot of torrents, it would download more of 20Kb/s.

I also installed gcc. I will look about the others solutions.
Thanks for all,

Bodyman
