Speed readout breaks at very fast speeds - signed integer overflow-type issue?

Open willemcvu opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

I'm on Windows 10 64-bit 1803, running Transmission v2.94.

Sometimes when downloading very fast (over 1Gb/s Ethernet and fiber connection), Transmission changes the speed readout to a very large negative kB/s number. I can only assume this is some sort of signed integer wrap-around/overflow issue. I don't really have time/knowledge to diagnose this myself, but I thought I should bring it to your attention.

Also, the given speed indicated is clearly erroneous. I can get close to 1Gb (bit)/s reliably, but I definitely cannot get 1.8GB (byte)/s at all, given I'm on a 1Gb/s cable. I'm not sure why these numbers are wrong.

Much of that code was rewritten for Transmission 4.

Is this still happening in 4.0.0-beta.1 or newer?

This is still happening as of June 8th 2023, everywhere where a transfer rate is. image
