Hello,

I'm trying to set my max_upload_speed and max_download_speed trough the console ui, so I can schedule the used bandwith (like described here).However, when I try to set the limit to -1.0 (unlimited) I get an error. I've tried different ways to enter -1 (-1, -1.0, "-1.0", Unlimited), but none works. Any other value than -1, works fine.
Does anyone knows what I'm doing wrong here?

The command I use is:

Code: Select all

deluge -u console -a "config -s max_upload_speed -1.0"

And the error is:

Code: Select all

hmm, does it work if you put it in parenthesis? (-1)

Nope. If I try that I get the following error.

Code: Select all

 * malformed expression (-)

At least with this, the ui does not crash like with the other options.

I guess I could solve it by setting the limits to an arbitrary large number.

Setting it to 0.0 should accomplish the same thing.. I'll have to look into this for the new console ui..

Thanks, 0.0 worked.

I'm just learning how to use the deluge console, and a bit of a linux n00b...

what is the -a switch as show below? I didn't see it in "man deluge". Is it generic to linux?

deluge -u console -a "config -s max_upload_speed 0.0"

thanks!

It just means to run that command in the console without actually starting it in interative mode.

Hey there. I'm sorry to revive this months-old topic, but I recently found the above-mentioned Wiki article on making a cron job to act as scheduler.

I too wanted to set my upload/download limits to unlimited but nothing worked. After finding this, I can say that using 0.0 does work, but it feels like cheating. Is there any fix on the horizon for this? Is the scheduler going to be reimplemented any time soon?

Thanks,
Mike

The scheduler has been ported to trunk and will appear in 1.2.0.
