Description of problem: transmission-daemon sometimes ignores bandwidth limits. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): transmission-daemon-2.22-3.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: Not certain - it seems to happen often, but not on every torrent. There may be something specific to certain .torrent files that causes the problem. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Confirm a bandwidth limit is enabled via transmission-remote -si: LIMITS Peer limit: 240 Default seed ratio limit: Unlimited Upload speed limit: 30.00 KiB/s (Enabled limit: 30.00 KiB/s; Enabled turtle limit: 30.00 KiB/s) Download speed limit: 300.00 KiB/s (Enabled limit: 300.00 KiB/s; Enabled turtle limit: 300.00 KiB/s) Turtle schedule: 11:00 - 04:00 Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat 2. Add a torrent (I'm adding them via a watch-dir, not sure whether that applies to the problem) 3. Observe that torrents are exceeding this bandwidth limitation, but claim to be honoring session limits (transmission-remote -l and transmission-remote -i): 50 93% 180.8 MiB 34sec 0.0 397.0 0.00 Downloading Aquaria111.2008.12.12.exe 54 59% 173.1 MiB 4 min 0.0 438.0 0.00 Downloading penumbra_overture_1.1.exe LIMITS & BANDWIDTH Download Limit: Unlimited Upload Limit: Unlimited Honors Session Limits: Yes Peer limit: 60 Bandwidth Priority: Normal Actual results: Torrents are allowed to exceed, both individually and in total, the bandwidth limits specified in the configuration file. Expected results: The total downstream bandwidth used by all torrents shouldn't exceed the global download rate. Additional info: To assuage any concerns anyone may have that software piracy is occurring in the above output, I would like to mention that the torrents in question are from the Humble Indie Bundle offers (see http://www.humblebundle.com/)
After more testing, this *only* seems to happen on Humble Indie Bundle torrents. Fedora (and other Linux distro) torrents obey the limits. So, it seems there is something that can be present in a torrent that breaks the download limit.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
