Using qBitttorrent 3.1.9 on Windows 7 x64.
When I want to limit the download rate of an individual torrent, it appears that I can choose "no limit" which is indicated by an infinity sign. Or I can slide the limit bar to the right to set a specific rate. However, the maximum download rate limit that I can set is 1000KiB/s (when the bar is slid all the way to the right). And although I can type the limit directly into the number field, any number larger than 1000KiB/s is rounded back down to 1000KiB/s (=1MiB/s). And in fact the limiting *does* work properly, limiting a torrent download speed to whatever I set. Yet since the maximum download rate is 1MiB/s, any torrent can only download at either infinity or 1000KiB/s and under.
This becomes a problem when a really well-seeded torrent throttles the bandwidth of other torrents. This is because I often have several torrents of different sizes downloading at the same time. Some of them might be small in size and others larger, and some are well-seeded and others are not, so I like to set download limits in a manner that will allow all downloads to finish at about the same time. This is difficult to do if the max limit for a torrent is 1MiB/s.
Is there a way around this, some advanced option?
Maximum download rate limit is 1MiB/s?

Hi and welcome 
,
Try this; If im right you need to set your max download speed in the Options -> Speed first, after that it will go higher than 1000KiB/s. If it stays at 0 the limit shows 1000KiB/s even though your speed is unlimited without any restrictions.
Putting manually any number should work above 1000KiB/s though, im doing it pretty often myself too.

Nemo found me!
Thanks, mate! I had set a Global Rate Limit for uploads, just not for downloads. 1000 KiB/s is probably a useful default value. It might help if there were some indication that not setting a download limit means that this 1 MiB/s limit will be used instead.
