Deluge Forum

I have very high download protocol traffic (77 KiB/s) compared to data traffic (1 KiB/s). Could anyone explain why this is happening? I have 12 torrents in all.




My bandwidth settings are:

Global
======
Maximum Connections: 25
Maximum Upload Slots: 4
Maximum Download Speed (KiB/s): 120
Maximum Upload Speed (KiB/s): 30
Maximum Half-Open Connections: 12
Maximum Connection Attempts per Second: 20

Per Torrent
==========
Maximum Connections: 20
Maximum Upload Slots: 2
Maximum Download Speed (KiB/s): 120
Maximum Upload Speed (KiB/s): 23

edit:
I should add that I'm running Deluge 1.2.2 on to of Gentoo Linux.

are you still finding this occurring?

Can you try turning DHT off?

Yes.

deluged --version
1.2.2

Done, but still very high protocol overhead, at the moment I'm seeding 5 torrents and downloading at rates between 2KB/s and 25KB/s while only uploading between 5 - 30KB/s.



It doesn't even seem to be registering with the torrents that I'm uploading.

I have the same issue. Deluge seems to use a large amount of protocol traffic when only seeding. Protocol traffic goes back to normal (<1kb/s) when I add a torrent, even if it's up- and down speed is 0 kB/s. From here I pause the torrent and traffic is still less than 1 kb/s until I remove the torrent. Then traffic goes back up to ~10 kb/s.

See screenshots. I added a torrent at 12:36 and removed it again at 12:56

I'm using v1.2.1 on Windows 7.

Sorry to bump this, but I'm facing the exact same issue with the latest Deluge! Any fix for this? Deluge consumes all my up/down bandwidth in protocol traffic while seeding
