Hi everyone,
Lately I am noticing that despite reasonably low network activity, my network access speeds go down whenever transmission is seeding many torrents even if the upload bandwidth usage has been limited to 30Kbps. Pausing some of the seeding torrents usually resolves the issue. I also found that often the upload rate transmission actually uses is much higher (~50Kbps) than the set limit of 30Kbps. Is the extra bandwidth required to negotiate with peers or other related tasks? Does anyone have any pointers on how I can optimise transmission so that it doesn't slow down my internet?

The latest Transmission Beta in Rawhide has µTP support which should help. I think there are too many changes to be pushing in as an update for older releases but just a heads up

Thank you Rahul for the response. That is very good news. Does that mean F15 will have this at some point? I will be looking forward to it. :)

I certainly won't be pushing a beta release as an update. However once there is a stable release, I intend to consult with upstream about whether it is going to be disruptive as an update. If upstream is in favor of it, it would still probably require a exception as our current updates policy is geared towards bug fixes and security fixes
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy
Since this is a leaf package, it should be possible to get an exception if needed. At this point, I don't know yet if there is going to be an feature update to Fedora 15. I have a Transmission repo (http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/sundaram/transmission/) which I could use for additional testing. If you are interested in getting a beta release for Fedora 15, let me know.

I am definitely interested in a beta release. Currently I am on F13 on my desktop but I will upgrade to F15 once it is out. I would be happy to try out this transmission release, maybe from your fedorapeople repo. I had actually gone there looking for this version after your first email. :-p

I have updated to this version. I'll post back with feedback in a few days.
Rahul
Thanks a lot. :)

I'll give it a whirl as well. I have issues when the torrent (both directions) is very active. DNS breaks on me while existing connections continue to work. I've got both the DL an UL throttled significantly below the maximum of my DSL internet.

Well looks like updating for F14 is a NOGO.
From yum:

Yes, I am the maintainer for that as well. I am just mentoring my co-maintainer on how to perform updates. Going to take sometime. Patience

As I indicated before, the new version is for Fedora 15. Fedora 14 has a older version which requires a new libevent and that means you have to remove packages which depend on the older libevent to use it. It was a experimental release.
