Upload speed limit

CerthasIM · Post by **CerthasIM** » 2003-01-26 16:09

For ADSL users it is inacceptible to not have an upload speed limit since with many uploads happening out downloads rate drop to a trickle (<1Kbs for me).
The small send buffer option does not work for me.
Hacked clients like BCDC++are not accepted by most hubs.

For me the only viable option is to remove the more popular files from my share.

I fully understand the problems of an upload limit, but wouldn't it be possible for example to meassure the max upload speed of a client automatically and then limit the transfer speed to 80% of that?
Let the connection run unlimited for a minute, take the avarage of that and then put in the 80% Limit.

erm well I'd just like the limit set around 95-98%... Just so I can get to browse this forum, receive my mails (OE for some reason fails 4 of 5 times connecting when mine's upping full-speed).

So Bobbish - U line-blockers with monster lines suck too, or what...

haha

no
only upload cappers suck

but i like ripping up these stupid forum flamers

yeah well anyway
i stick with my origional statement
capping is bullshit

Well, from my own personal experiance, and also based on NZ's rather shoddy connection system (average connection is 128Kbit/sec, capped ADSL) that the upload limiting is nessicary.
There are those whowouldnt be able to download very much without it because they are constantly getting leeched, and it helps on my uni network so that i can actually use some of my connection (10Mbit half duplex).

That said, there will be those who limit uploading to 1Kbyte/sec purely because they dont want to share...but there are always those sorts of people, and most hubs would probably do something about them.

Bobbish · Post by **Bobbish** » 2003-02-06 20:18

thats the kind im talking about
the kind that limit it to almost nothing
i dont mind the occasional cap to help out your download
as like you said
capped dsl is a bitch
i have capped adsl
before it was capped it was 5 mbit
and now it is capped to exactly 1.5 mebit
which translates to about 180k a second
this is bullshit
and the worst part about it is
they didnt lower the price even though it has dropped by 2 thrids
bullshit eh?

Care to tell me/us where this poll is or was? And what other forum?
(If it is no more, then what was the result? ... And yes, I'm pretty new to dc/dc++, but I really tried searching both google and browsing the most obvious forums, but didn't find the other forum having this discussion, probably beacuse this is an old topic or something, and the forums are rather active, it seems ...)

I personally wouldn't like it if lots of people started limiting too much, we have enough problem with fakers and leechers as it is. But a friend of mine has ADSL, and he claims dc without any limiting is pretty useless to him, everything net-oriented (like browsing the web) almost stops entirely when 2 or more uploads uses his entire upload capacity, and the "use small send buffer" doesn't fix (t)his problem.

Isn't is possible to implement a sane option limiting dc++ to use a maximum of 90 % of your upload capacity or something like that? Or does that require (too much?) changes to the protocol(s) and/or hub software?

It's not a big deal to me, I'm just trying to convince him that dc is better than the Kazaa stuff -- even though I never got kazaa to work ... :)

Since we suck so much, how about we remove the files you download? I am sorry, but I hate having my download speed go from 190+KB/sec to 5KB/sec because DC++ bandwidth management is weak. If a upload occupies more then %75 of my upstream then for each %5 it goes over I lose 30-40KBsec off my max download. I don't mind sharing (I currently share 50GB+), but I will be damned If I am forced into becoming a server because of weak bandwidth management code. I think letting us set the total upstream available is a goodthing

Well, keep in mind that although good solutions to this exist (yes, I know), Arne isn't going to put the feature in the code. Probably precisely because of idiot users who can't be trusted not to abuse the feature. I think most of the people speaking up limit for good reasons; a leech saying why he wants it would be run off the board pretty quickly.

As you said, solutions to this exist. Some are based on the last build of DC++. Some of them can pretend they are the official build, wich is (very) highly abuseable. Don't you think a leecher (even if those are by essence very narrow-minded) will use one of these mods instead of modifying dc++ by himself ?

Of course. Other people have different agendas, or weigh the needs of the legitimate users of this feature against those who would abuse it. The code is out there, and so are precompiled binaries. Most binaries have some protection - BCDC limits your download to the same speed as upload when you're below 6kb, CZDC++ does similar limiting, as does DC++k.

I'm not sure where you're coming from or what your point is. I don't think I'm on the other side of whatever point you're trying to make.
