transmission-daemon possible uploading bug?

Question

I'm wrecking my brains since a week ago with a problem with transmission daemon in my Raspberry Pi 2B. I tried to set my uploading speed to 1kb/s but it seems that it does not work correctly. I have all my torrents downloaded but if I hold the transmission opened I noticed (using the system monitor) that the system is uploading data up to 20 kb/s: When I close the transmission-daemon process the uploading chart decreases to 0 and when I launch another time the transmission-daemon process it keeps uploading data... I paste below my /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json configuration file content:

Can anybody help me please? I don't know what to do...

Thank you

Randomly stumbled on your post. Make sure you 'sudo service transmission-daemon stop' before editing the config file. Then 'sudo service transmission-daemon start' once you're finished editing. If you don't do this, transmission ignores and writes over your edits when you close the config document.
