Upload rate keeps increasing

Post by chabou »

Hi all,

I've been (quickly :oops: ) searching throughout this forum and trac, but I haven't seen the bug I've been experiencing reported, so I think I'm right to create this topic. If I shouldn't have, my bad and close it right away. The bug I had happened when I restarted my mac. Transmission is launched at startup (don't know if it's important, but I prefer you to have too much information than too few). As you can see in the two screenshots I've taken, I was just uploading 3 torrents, and I wasn't downloading absolutely anything from Transmission or any other app.
Now the bug : Transmission keeps increasing my upload rate. I was limiting the upload rate to 30 KB/s, and you can see in the menubar that the upload rate was respected (it was around the 30 KB/s unlike what Transmission reported) :

Image 1.png (89.1 KiB) Viewed 2756 times
Image 2.png
Image 2.png (96.22 KiB) Viewed 2756 times
I noticed that every second, or 2 seconds I didn't check for sure, the upload rate increased by 20 KB/s. After suppressing the upload limit, nothing happened. And setting the upload limit back (as I expected) didn't change a thing. So I had to restart Transmission for this bug to disappear.

So is this bug known ? Should I report it to Trac (as I've registered to this forum, I'm not enthusiastic to the idea of registering again so if one want to do it, don't hesitate) ?

It is a known bug, but it hasn't been reported a while, are you sure you use the last version of Transmission? If you are, maybe if you quit and restart Transmission it will be solved?
