Hello everyone,

I'm using ruTorrent v3.3 and rTorrent 0.8.9 and I'm trying to configure it properly for my 10Gbit bandwidth, unfortunately with no luck at all.

While gettings into the rtorrent.rc file and looking around there are some parameters I should change, but yet again - the parameters I try don't make any different.

For example:
# Global upload and download rate in KiB. "0" for unlimited.
download_rate = 0
upload_rate = 0

While setting it up to 0, the WebGUI shows on "Bandwidth limiting" a Global Maximum Upload/Download rate of 102400 which is barely 1Gbit (around 80MB/s)
instead of 0 (Unlimited) like I set on my rtorrent.rc file.

Could you please help me figure what parameter on the rtorrent.rc file will help me set these global rates?

Also, if there is some up to date list of parameters available to set within the latest version of rTorrent as I understand this changes from time to time.


Thank you and best regards,
bStyler.

UPDATE #1
I have found the right parameters and tried them out like this.
throttle.global_down.max_rate.set_kb = 302400
throttle.global_up.max_rate.set_kb = 0

And in the WebGUI is appear as follows:
Global Maximum Download rate: 302400 (I'm still trying to figure what is the highest number, because there is some kind of maximum number restriction)
Global Maximum Upload rate: 102400 - Which should have been 0 that is unlimited, but for some reason it stays 102400.


Hope you guys can help me figure it out,
Thanks!

Update:

my rTorrent client shows [Throttle 102400/102400 KB] which is not good at all as it should be [Throttle Off/Off KB].

Any idea guys?

Thank you very much,
this was the ThrottlePlugin indeed which has been reseting throttling.

After removing is throttle stays off.

I've changed plugins/throttle/throttle.php line 6
from
@define ('MAX_SPEED', 100*1024*1024);
to
@define ('MAX_SPEED', 1024*1024*1024);
And now rutorrent changes throttle to acceptable value :)
