I recently noticed my internet speed coming to a standstill. After looking at my system resources I could see that I was uploading about 100 KBps, which is A LOT for my slow internet. I don't know if I had faster internet if it would consume even more. Anyways, I pinned down the culprit, and it's Bitmessage.
What's going on?

It is a natural consequence of the relay-everything design. |

Okay, my internet is awfully slow and it hurts when it uploads 100KBps. But at least now I know it's not a bug, Thanks for the heads up!

Hello, I'm one of the devs for Project Tox ( http://tox.im) It's a free, open-source encrypted p2p Skype replacement. Feel free to visit #tox or #tox-dev on the freenode irc server. |

Just throttle Bitmessage with your firewall. |

Just throttle Bitmessage with your firewall. An option to restrict bandwidth should be included. |

Hi there,
Is this project still active? Last version update from October 2013, this forum thread not seems to be busy one.. Any news on BitMessage development?
EDIT: I see there is a lots of activity on github, any particular date when new stable version will be released? I rather wait for new stable version than compile it from github (with possible bugs).
Regards
Lenny

Yes, it is still active. I'm reviewing pull requests right now. The last binary release was in October because that is the last time we added "must have" features. In the source code is much more recent development.

OSX users, note that Sophos will prevent bitmessage from working correctly. You need to disable Sophos 'live protection' option in preferences (Just like with TOR).

You are the first person to report such a problem. If you want to provide the debug.log in the PyBitmessage folder, it might be of use. |

Please try renaming the PyBitmessage folder (which holds the messages.dat and other files) to something different. Do start by terminating the running Bitmessage process(es).

I've tried that. Didn't work. Also there is no messages.dat in folder PyBitmessage |
