Bandwith limit preference doesn't appear to be saved

the same with me. when unlimited it usurps the whole band, and no other application can reach the Internet.

same for me :(

The limit seems to be saved (see [bandwidth_throttling] above), but the ubuntuone-applet doesn't read it.

Created a branch to address this: lp:~jtatum/ubuntuone-client/bug-465030

+1 with problem here. I have to quit application in order to have internet back.

Branch was merged.

The bandwidth saving issue is seperate and distinct from the "protocol mismatch" error. While the appearance of that message is somewhat related, the fact that the settings were not being saved is a seperate bug.

My Ubuntu One will not connect at start up. I have to click on "Bandwidth limitation" and then it will connect. When I go back in it will have greyed out all the boxes again. I am still able to surf the internet and it doesn't seem that it doing anything except waking up the application.

Stilla hanging on to Dropbox while this continues :o)

Accepted ubuntuone-client into karmic-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

With the proposed fix, the saved values are now shown when I open the Preferences-dialog.
However, the actual bandwidth limiting doesn't seem to work. With the limit set at 64 KB/s, it still uploads at around 100 KB/s on my computer. Although, if I set the limit to 0, the download stops and the client program disconnects. I guess that means it works when limiting the bandwidth to 0 KB/s :).

Tested proposed update on a fresh Karmic install with all standard updates & proposed updates for ubuntuone-client & dependent packages. Ran steps to reproduce and got the following unexpected result: "Maximum upload speed" set to 128 & "Maximum download speed" set to 0 - FAIL.

Roman found that the fields only appear to save when focus is removed from the input field. So, if you set the upload and download inputs and take focus (mouse off) the fields after changing the value, they should save properly. This is not proper behavior but at least gives us an idea of what is really going on. It's not that one field saves properly and another does not.

Also, a min upload of 64 kB is really 64 * 8 = 512 kilobites per second. Most people do not calculate data transfer in kiloBytes and also 512 kilobites is still faster than the max. uplink on many dls routers, so therefore no throttling is achieved.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntuone-client - 1.0.3-0ubuntu1

The original description stated that the preferences are not saved.

Now preferenced are saved but it does not work quite right.

I have copied Joshua's response to bug #509740 which reports the issue with focus-related saving of values.

Hi: It seems to me that I am still having problems with this issue. No matter what I set in my client setting, sync-daemon ignores my setting, and just uploads at my full upload bandwidth. Does anyone have suggestions why this could be the case, if this bug has been fixed?

my version of client, Lucid: ubuntuone-client v1.2.2

@Stefan: This bug is fixed. Please open a new bug report (after searching for existing ones).

It's not fixed in Lucid with all updates. I still have same problem. It's a real problem when bandwith is shared.

Yup I have the same issue. haven't tried the feature in a while. But recently Ubuntu One has vastly improved in it's upload speed and it's actually using 10MB/s on upload and download. So tried the shaping but does not work.

Keep up the good work, it has vastly improved in other areas as well.
Thanks

You are probably reproducing bug 509740, please check that with the reproducing steps included in that bug's description. If you can't reproduce that bug, then you are seeing a new bug (please open a new bug report with bandwidth-throttling tag). Thanks in advance!

HI does not seem to be related. I have logged a new bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntuone-client/+bug/634013
