Description Pierre Schmitz 2009-02-19 14:21:32 UTC 
Version:           3.2 (using KDE 4.2.0)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.3 Arch Linux
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

We have added some of hour http mirrors (53) as webseeds to our torrent files in order to speed up the inital seeding and to prevent the torrent from dieing when users stop seeding.

If you download such a torrent with KTorrent it ignores any connection limit you have set in the options dialog and will just download from every mirror simultanesly.

This seems to produce too much overhead espeically if you have an internet connection with a small bandwidth and some (broken) network adapters or routers don't like that much cennections either.

Here are the torrents I mentioned above: http://downloads.archlinux.de/iso/2009.02/

This is not fixed yet, why are you closing this ?
Comment 2 Pierre Schmitz 2009-07-09 19:02:48 UTC 
Ah sorry,  You are right. I just tested with latest ktorrent. The bandwidth limit is recognized but the number of parallel connections is still not limited.
