Grandma Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 After updating automatically to uTorrentv1.6, I redid the Norton 'allow,' Zone Alarm 'allow,' portforwarding, updated the drivers, used the programs to tweak and optimize the dwnload speed, used xx\384kb\s in settings, do not have any other problems or notices in any of the status areas.Using:WinMe OSActiontec GT701WG 1.5M Modem- DSLHave only 100 global and 50 max peersEnabled the trackersMaxed the down/up to 3Maxed down to 2Have not touched advanced options or any other controls.Was downloading at about 50kb/s with 5(9) and 7(48) or thereabouts.Then the Problem, a Blue Screen pops up which says:An exception has 06 occured at 0028:0000000B in VxD---'This was called from 0028:C001BF84 in VxDNDIS(01)+0005AAO.It may be possible to continue normally.(blah, blah, psssssssst!)This happens every 10-15 minutes.Why? How can I fix it as it kicks me off the net. uTorrent is open but not working, try to close it and it stays there until you use the CTLR/ALT/DEL, nothing else will work, you have to restart the computer, which tells you that utorrent is still working, and 'wait,' 'close,' 'exit.'I hit 'close' and 'Start/Shut Down/Restart.' Upon restarting, I have to change ports to download anything at all.Why? Can you help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 The speed guide settings are optimized for 2000/XP, not for 9x.You need to turn down the number of connections, both per torrent and globally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Posted July 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 What would you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 I recommend 70 Global connections, and up to 40 per torrent.I'm on Win 98SE and get away with global connections set as high as 90...but the few torrents I run at once seldom have over 50 combined connections.

Firon Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I recommend upgrading to a better OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Posted July 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Unfortunity, I was upgraded. Quick story, Xp was placed into a computer, without permission, that was not compatible with it, it fried. Older son, (the culprit), replaced with a new one. Now have XP, and am setting it up, so recomendations are requested so that I will not have the same problem again. (I'll be gone about a week also, so I will see what is recomended then).

Firon Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 XP has no such limitation on connections. The only limitation is your connection speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 ...and half-open connection limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
