Deny upload for speeds <100kib/s

Post by Audibly2214 »

Hi everyone, is there a way to deny uploads for speeds that are too slow. It will help my power consumption and regulate better the activation of my disks. thanks

No there is no native function in Deluge to deny upload for a minimum speed, due to the way pieces and uploads function this would be pretty hard to manage since speeds could fluctuate for so many variety of reasons from you OR the person you are uploading to.

It is sort of inherently nearly impossible to do in practice due to the way the bittorrent protocol is implemented.

As I said, you could very easily be seeding to a peer at 5MB/s one minute, and 10KB/s another, and it is entirely dependent on variables both the seeder and peer/leecher are subject to.

While you could "estimate" this, and do a best effort, it is not something I am aware of any torrent client, and specifically libtorrent, supporting.
