Limit upload rate not respected

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm using qBittorrent v3.1.8 that uses libtorrent v0.16.13 on Linux Ubuntu 
14.04 LTS.

I opened a bug issue for qBittorrent and discovered that it is a libtorrent bug 
-> https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/1741 

That's the problem:

I'm using qBittorent v3.1.8 under Linux and when I set a limit upload rate to a 
particular torrent in download for ex. 10 KiB/s it uses instead full upload 
bandwidth for ex. 100 KiB/s.

if you disable uTP, do you still see this issue?
could you experimenting with disabling other speed related settings to see if 
you can find any correlations or narrowing it down some?

for instance, if you set the limit even lower, does it affect the rate at all?

Disabling uTP it respects my upload rate limit and even download rate limit ( 
discovered with uTP enabled download limit are not respected too).

There is a setting called rate_limit_utp which defaulted to false in some 
version, but was the changed to default to true. This might be what you're 
seeing.

qbt sets this explicitly. And from the screenshot the user seems to have 
enabled the corresponding setting too.
