hello all.
after going over my ISP monthly allowance a few times in a row, despite having only allotted 50% of my downloads to sab, i discovered that if a file fails, and it has to get the parity files for it, then it dosent count those downloads against the quota. therefor, allowing it to go far past the set limit.
therefor, isnt it pointless to have the quota option in sab? as it isnt a very accurate way to control the throughput. is there a way so that it can be included? i have to watch the total bandwidth of the nic now, and then stop it manually when it gets to the limit i have set for it.
Jason.

Re: parity files and quota limits
It's not that the extra pars are not counted, it's only that the last par2 fetch ignores the pause mode.
Of course it would be better if the extra pars were also paused, but that's not how it currently works.
I will look at it again for release 0.8.0

Re: parity files and quota limits
thanks. that would be great. as it would stop me getting throttled by my ISP every month.
