Upload flooding - Sync client 1.1.2 RC

[donty]

When I add files to a directory to upload via the client sync app it kills my upload bandwidth completely, can't even check DNS!

As soon as I pause the client, all is well.

Download sync is fine, it just seems the client takes all it can from the connection. Currently on 7Mib/s download with 350Kib/s upload connection.

Some kind of auto throttle would be good, again something Dropbox does to reduce the impact of uploads especially well. Just something to test max available upload and take a percentage of it and throttle back/up when flow demands change.

At the moment, it is unusable - am I the only one seeing this issue?

Thanks for responding, I think that may help for Windows users - I don't have those options on Linux or the client on Linux.

Any other ideas? I tried using trickle to help control bandwidth but it doesn't seem to play with csync or ownCloud client.

Sorry. I also just saw that you use Linux and my post removed.

It depends a bit on your bandwidth, anyway, implementing bandwidth throttling is tracked in issue #14, closing this one as duplicate.
