Deluge beginner with issues
Posted: Sun Jan 07, 2018 12:10 pm
Hello all,
Just started using Deluge and I'm having some issues that I was hoping to clarify.
This whole adventure started when I've decided to move my torrents from my Windows desktop using uTorrent to my FreeNAS server so I can have them running 24/7. My current setup is based on FreeNAS, Deluge installed in a FreeBSD jail as a headless service using the webUI. I have tested transmission before switching to Deluge because the bandwidth limits in Transmission failed to work but I'm having the same issue with Deluge.
My problems are related to the global bandwidth limits which do not seem to work at all. The ISP link is a cable connection of 220Mbps (22000KiB/s) down and 17Mbps (17000KiB/s) up tested with speedtest.net.
The issue is that regardless of the limits I've set to the download speed, Deluge seems to max out to the ISP speed which makes any browsing impossible, even streaming services like Netflix are impacted, video looks upscaled from 480p with high loading times when starting.
I have went through the http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/User ... thTweaking guide but the limits are still ignored. I have no way of limiting torrent traffic so that my desktop browsing remains decent. With uTorrent on my desktop I could set limits and everything worked acceptable (some delays in browsing existed) with >20 seeding torrents.
Now I have 8 torrents out of which 3 are downloading and browsing is impossible. See the below screenshot. I see that protocol bandwidth takes up half of my total upload speed even with only one torrent downloading remaining which runs at my full ISP speed.
Here are my settings: Is there a way to have a limit that works? I can't mess with the ISP router since it's locked down and periodically they reset settings, I have port forward rules that get reset for no reason.
I'm no FreeBSD expert but as far as I know it's pretty hard to limit traffic like this with a firewall.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
