Ticket #118 (new defect)
throttling of download/upload speed by torrent

Description
An interesting feature would be to limit the rate of the upload/download also per torrent. When your downloading a lot of file, you sometime prefer allowing an higher priority to an unfinished torrent. Or when your just seeding, it would be interesting to allow different rate depending if the torrent has a lot of seeds or not.

while your addition will be nice rekshasa, the one thing that sets rtorrent way back is the inability to set individual ul/dl rates per torrent.
comment:3 Changed 7 years ago by anonymous
yes, lack of per torrent dl/ul rate setting keeps me going back to az =(

I miss that feature too very much.
Example why it makes sense: You have two torrents running - A and B. Your upload speedlimit is 30k/s A has 1 peer with 20k/s max downloadspeed. B has 10 peers, each can download faster then the one in A. Now you want that the peer in A can use his full downloadspeed. Only setting upload slots doesn't help here. Even 1 uploadslot for B would end in 15k/s for A and 15k/s for B.
With adjustable uploadspeed, you set B to 10k/s and the problem is solved.
There are many many more scenarios, where this feature could help. I hope it will be implemented in the near future.

This would be a great feature, to control the individual ul/dl speeds

I'am a dedicated seeder, I love rorrent cuz is cli and can run in my Linux gateway all the days with zero problem, but a per torrent bandwith limiter its a must have feature !!, many times see the list an torrents with many seeders have more up rate than less sedded torrents !! Think rtorrent for the seeders!!!

I'm very happy with rtorrent, it's excellent piece of work. But this feature is really very important to many people. Where is the problem with it?
comment:13 Changed 6 years ago by anonymous
Here's a temporary solution: Start another instance of rtorrent.
comment:14 Changed 6 years ago by anonymous
I agree, this is a must feature.
comment:15 Changed 6 years ago by anonymous
If there is a single feature I wish rtorrent had right now, this would be it.
comment:16 Changed 6 years ago by anonymous
i agree. this is the single most important missing feature for me too.
comment:17 Changed 6 years ago by anonymous
forgot to say this feature is key for seeding. because whenever i'm using my connectivity, i'd like to keep seeding with portion of my upload speed, but because i can't do that, i often have to stop seeding just to free up upload bandwidth, so that i can use the connectivity too for other casual tasks, like email, browsing, etc. This is a very sad, anti-sharing, logic, and one that probably other rtorrent users have to obey by too. But it is the only option when a single torrent can not be capped. -toni

I'm desperately waiting for this feature. I'd like to use rTorrent's libtorrent in my application and this is the only reason that I don't.
comment:19 Changed 6 years ago by anonymous
yea... please can someone do this, or comment the situation,plans and problems?
comment:20 in reply to: ↑ description Changed 5 years ago by anonymous

comment:21 Changed 5 years ago by anonymous
Still waiting for this feature :/ Is it plan?

duplicate of ticket #20, see http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ticket/20#comment:17 for a patch that adds this feature
comment:23 Changed 5 years ago by anonymous
We want this feature
comment:24 Changed 5 years ago by anonymous
Would love this feature
comment:25 Changed 5 years ago by anonymous
i want this feature too. i can see he's not going to add it. that's cool, i appreciate everything i received so far. i bet someone could throw a wrench in the source code, we don't need to be so precise. we just want to slow down a torrent. setting the priority to low doesn't seem to affect upload speed. i bet we could attach the wrench to that flag.
comment:26 Changed 5 years ago by anonymous
Dude, just look four comments above yours. The patch works fine.
comment:27 Changed 4 years ago by anonymous
Has this been done and I missed it? If so may I please have a link?

Seems ticket #20 is gone (along with said patch...)
Are there any plans for this feature?
Currently there's code in place to prioritize the number of upload slots each torrent gets. This is atm hardcoded to use a 4/2 ratio for unfinished vs. seeded torrents. I'm planning on making it possible to change this from within the client at some point.
