qBittorrent version and Operating System

centos7
Linux 127.0.0.1 3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Nov 29 14:49:43 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Linux version 3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64 (mockbuild@kbuilder.bsys.centos.org) (gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-36) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Thu Nov 29 14:49:43 UTC 2018
CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)

If on linux, libtorrent and Qt version

qBittorrent v4.2.0alpha

What is the problem

This is a screenshot

What is the expected behavior

(type here)

Steps to reproduce

This is the traffic speed I see through the external program monitoring network card traffic, very beautiful picture monitoring is to monitor the traffic map on the switch.
The black character interface is the NIC traffic monitored by the nload program.
As for how to install qBittorrent v4.2.0alpha, you can watch this script
I am installing the latest git version via this script

In qBT's settings...
Is uTP enabled and allowed to exceed limits?
Is LAN traffic allowed to exceed limits?

Also have this issue on my end.
OS: Windows 10 1809
QBT Ver. 1.4.1

Problem:
Torrents do not respect global download limit, normal or alternative, enforcing utp/overhead/LAN or not. Torrents using maximum bandwidth at >5MiB/s instead of global limit of 2.

Upload also does not respect Global Limits.

Only way to circumvent bandwidth eating is setting each torrent to have individual download limits via Right Click > Limit Download Rate.

Expected Behaviour:
Total download bandwidth does not exceed 2MiB.

If you require more information, please let me know. Thank you!

Update: I cannot explain this, but reversing the Global Rate Limits and Alternative Rate Limits, and reversing the clock to kick in during the night instead of day made it kick in.| It's now behaving itself.

Will update if problem recurs.

@binkobapkins
Your picture still shows DL limit is exceeded when settings are reversed, just not as badly.

It's pretty hard to limit DL below a point because every peer+seed uploading to your qBT can briefly exceed the total if some of their packets arrive simultaneously even if their average speed is well below the total. Rogue wave sort-of-thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_wave
