max_hard_upload_rate = 15 works fine with me...
a workaround for users that are deconnected by their own provider would be to 
use QoS to limit bandwith usage on donkey ports.

Summary:  Upload limitation does not work

Original Submission:  Hi,
I live in Germany and can only upstream with 16KB/s (capped by the German 
Telekom).
And if I set my mldonkey-upstream to 15 I am experiencing the problem, that 
mldonkey does not stick to its limitation, it always tries tries to send more 
than it can send and my Provider then allways disconnects me.

I am using mldonkey 1.16

update (me again)
just read the releasenotes of mldwatch 1.7 and found a bug report on the 
up/down speed shown in the statusbar.

unfortunateley this does not have anything to do with the problem of too high 
up/down rates i experienced

update concerning my post from 2002-Sep-16 02:39 (the huge one) : it's not only 
the downstream bw that's completely sucked up by mld, even the upstream is at 
128kbit/s.
-
sure @ mldonkey, now i updated to mld1.99b8 and mldwatch 1.7.
the gui pretends to upload about 3-4kbytes/s with a given limit of value "10". 
[kilobytes per second, aight? ;) ]
but iptraf shows me an output bandwith of about 135 kbit/s.
(yes i checked iptraf even when mld was offline, and it was about 8kbit/s).
maybe it's not a transfer sucking up my bandwith, because mld found about 2600 
sources for one file, but i limited the value to 1000. could this be the reason 
why i have no bandwith left?
ppp0 receives 45000 packets per minute, almost 98% for mld.

Don't forget these options are in kB/s and not kb/s

Next CVS snapshot will indicate in the GUI the uploaded/downloaded bytes.

Hi
I use the same provider, and limitated my bandwith in mld 1.16 to 80/10 k/s, 
and it works pretty fine.
However, from time to time, my mld seems not to update his serverlist after 
restart (although 4 .met's are in the downloads.ini), and starts starving 
around with about 40 servers.
So i used the mld 1.99 beta5 core (just because of the nice windows-gui that's 
around),and now it seems to me that mld 1.99 has severe problems with bandwith 
limitation.
mld1.99 always seems to suck up the whole downstream bandwith, no matter which 
limit is set.As my linuxserver is used as a router to, it comes extremely 
unhandy that there's almost no downstream bandbwith available (even 
smallhonkclients like irc or icq can't connect to their servers - same applies 
to the browsers.)

have a nice day

I have it too, it´s fucked up, because my hole house is on a router, and when 
mldonkey is running, the other computers can´t surf in the Internet!!!!

Got the same problem. I temporarily fixed this with a smart router (Basically, 
I drop incoming frames when the bandwidth limit is reached). This is not the 
right/intelligent way of doing it. I would really like to get this one fixed.
