Staying within global bandwidth limits

[bdfortin]

Would it be possible to split the "stay within global bandwidth limits" preference into two preferences, one for download bandwidth limits and one for upload bandwidth limits?

I know once in a while I'll have a torrent that I really want to finish badly, so I'll let it max out its speed, but I don't want it to max out my upload speed at the same time because for some reason a fast upload speed tends to kill my connection.

I think you've missed the point. I want to be able to allow each to go beyond the global limit separately. I don't want both of them to go beyond the limit.

I don't get it... there are two options in that window. one for download and one for upload. exactly as you asked

I'll second this, I love Transmission and have been using it for 8 months or so. One of the things I've always liked was the scheduling.

I get 40gb of off peak data from my ISP, I also get 20gb peak, if I use all the peak data I lose my remaining off peak. So at the beginning of the month I set speed limiting settings during peak hours of zero download rate but leave my upload rate at 40kbps until I have used up my off peak. But there are always certain files I want faster and I used to simply override the download rate for these files. This used to be no problem in 1.52, one click for each file and I always had control of my upload and download totals.

Now with 1.60 to do this I have to uncheck "stay within global limits" on the files I want to override, the problem is this also unrestricts their upload rate which seems to make my connection really erratic and slow, the only way round this is to set individual rates for these files making it hard to control my total upload rate without allot of constant juggling.

It's possible I'm missing something but the way this is currently working makes 1.60 a step back in functionality for me, so much so I think I'm going to revert to 1.52

Ah the post of x0one explains it. You are using 1.60 and I am using 1.52 (I can't use 1.60 since I use Tiger) You have a whole different interface then I have.
