NULL throttle name not working as expected.

Hi, so as far as I know the NULL throttle name is a special one and supposed to be bypassing the maximum global upload and download rate. But please let me know if my understanding is wrong.

Apparently the torrents with the NULL throttle name is not download or uploading. Below is my first config.

# .rtorrent.rc

throttle.up = slowup, 50

throttle.global_down.max_rate.set_kb = 0
throttle.global_up.max_rate.set_kb = 50

method.set_key = event.download.inserted, set_special_priority_on_inserted, ((branch, ((d.is_private)), "d.throttle_name.set=NULL; d.priority.set=3"))

Because it's not working I changed my config. And now it's working as I expected.

# .rtorrent.rc

throttle.global_down.max_rate.set_kb = 0
throttle.global_up.max_rate.set_kb = 99999

method.insert = d.up_slow, private|simple, "d.throttle_name.set=slowup"
method.set_key = event.download.inserted, set_special_priority_on_inserted, ((branch, ((d.is_private)), "d.throttle_name.set=; d.priority.set=3", "d.up_slow="))
