This upstream release tag is very old. trickle-git contains a number of fixes and improvements, so you might want to that package until such time as a new version is tagged.

It seems that trickle-1.07.tar.gz isn't validating:

FWIW, fork from echiu64 builds fine from source : https://github.com/echiu64/trickle

@gunar It builds normally for me

I had gotten this error:

curl: error while loading shared libraries: libnsl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But then rebuilding libnsl then rebuilding trickle seems to have done the trick.

This upstream release tag is very old. trickle-git contains a number of fixes and improvements, so you might want to that package until such time as a new version is tagged.

@saulpierotti, I can confirm this behaviour with trickle-git. There are two possibilities I can see:

1. This is a bug and should be reported upstream;
2. This is intended behaviour and the flags are based on the trickle instance as the server (so upload is to its clients).

If you feel it's a bug please report to the upstream issue tracker.

@saulpierotti, can you verify the behaviour with trickle-git (or by compiling against the git HEAD yourself) and if it persists please file an issue on the upstream issue tracker?

When I set the -u parameter, it appears as the download speed is limited instead of the upload, and vice versa with -d. I tested with firefox using ookla-speedtest.
