Hm, ok, there must be a more severe bug inside the program. The first thing you mentioned was the fact that trickle -u 8 wget -c http://neacm.fe.up.pt/pub/ubuntu-releases/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso downloads only with 10 K/s and this can be explained by looking in the code above. Setting the -d xxxx option works, it your download will be as fast as you want to.
So i checked out what goes on with the upload. I used the tool you proposed, nethogs: trickle -u 8 -d 1000 wget -c http://neacm.fe.up.pt/pub/ubuntu-releases/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso Now nethogs shows me an upload value of ca. 6 k/s with short peaks at 12 K/s measured over 1 minute And now comes the really weired thing, exchanging the -u and the -d option, like you wrote above i get an upload value at ca. 34 K/s with peaks at 40 K/s which is all my connection is able to transfer. Maybe you can try exchanging the options and see if it does change anything. -- [hardy] trickle upload limit also limits wget download https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193195 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
