Transmission not respecting download speed

Post by PLANTROON »

I have transmission daemon running on alpine linux. I set the download speed limit (50 kB/s) in the web UI first. When that didn't work, I checked it in the config file and made sure the correct config file was being used. Despite that, Transmission uses up all my network bandwidth (4 mbps). I'd like some advice on what to try next.

https://tknk.io/F35j config file, iftop and webUI running side by side. WebUI shows speed like if it was limited, but something in Transmission is eating all my network bandwidth as can be seen in iftop.

Alpine Linux 3.5, transmission version 2.92

EDIT: It seems to be this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... ug/1058838 . I checked other torrents and they work fine. Please, test it by downloading a torrent that uses web seeds, Archlinux iso image is a nice example.
