Bandwidth limit doesn't work anymore
« on: April 25, 2012, 05:10:29 PM »
From yesterday the bandwidth limit doesn't work: AltBinz keep downloading at full speed.

See http://imgur.com/2MWEr Even with limit at 200KB/s it keeps downloading at 808KB/s.

The scheduler is disabled. I upgraded from 0.39.3 to 0.39.5 but the problem persists. I'm using Windows7 ultimate 64bit.

Thanks!

Is your max speed set correctly?

The "maximum download speed"  was set at 1000 Kb/s (from months).  Even if I set it at 200 Kb/s, nothing happens, it keeps download at maximum speed.

AV? Scanning of the nntp traffic?

Then I would expect otherwise never reaching the bandwidth limit as set.

I don't notice any difference either despite on how the bandwidth limit is set. It always seems to download at full throttle.
Not that downloading at full speed is a problem for me btw.

"From yesterday the bandwidth limit doesn't work"

Since Alt.Binz isn't in the habit of spontaneously re-writing itself, logic would suggest that you should look at what changed on your system "yesterday". My money is also on an AV update.

I agree!  :)
 
That was what I did before posting here... without finding any clue.

I deleted all the files in the altbinz folder and set it again from scratch.

Now it works regularly.
