LTC fees .. what is normal ?

[fenican]

Was trying to send 18.4 LTC's and got "over size limit .7 transaction fee".  That seems excessive.  Is that normal?

For even small amounts like 1.5 LTC was asking I pay .3 transaction fee

Can't say I understand either, sometimes I don't get any fees and sometimes I do.  Would also like an explanation if someone knows.

I've run into the same thing.  I find it galling that the fee is so high.

One thing that might be pushing up the fee is how many transactions make up your balance.  I've mined all my LTC on p2pool so it's alot of small transactions.  This drives up the Tx fee when you try to send it.
