Version 1.6 (build 474) and Vista 5456 system freeze

Hi there,

the previous uTorrent release worked like a charm in Vista 5456 but this one freezes my entire system. The mouse doesn't move anymore, no keyboard usage, no soft shutdown, no hd activity anymore. The only way out is a hard reset.

I only have this problem with this build of utorrent.

Grtz,

Patrick

btw. default utorrent settings

Bitcomet 0.70 poses the same problem with 5456 but I regret to say that Azureus 2.4.0.2 with jre 6b2 doesn't cause this crapy behaviour of 5456.

In part I'm happy since now I can download and seed torrents but not with my favorite or second favorite client.

ow, hold on, I just had a system freeze. I'm doing some tests to figure out if it has to do with Azureus. If it does it takes a lot longer before it happens with Azureus than with uTorrent and Bitcomet. Weird.

Yes, it seems that it does not matter which client I use, the system will hard-lock randomly after the client is launched (even if there are no torrents running). This is strange though because it was working brilliantly up until utorrent 1.6 came out. I suppose it could just be a coincidence due to an update from Microsoft on the same day...

I notice in the system event log states: "TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP conntect attempts" just before the hard-lock occurs.

Anyone have any input? Maybe we can figure this out, or maybe it's Microsoft's answer to anti-p2p! lol

Yep, the half-open connection limit rears its ugly head again!

Go into µTorrent's advanced settings and reduce the net.max_halfopen value to 8...or even as low as 4 if it was already 8!

In Azureus is was preset at 8, I set it to 50 and Windows allmost immediatly froze after saving the settings. I've set it to two right now.

I'm dying to find out how to set the limit to say 100 in Vista so this crap doesn't happen anymore.

edit: setting it to 2 doesn't seem to make a difference.

The verdict is in:) The problem does not only occur with torrent clients!

DC++ also causes the 5456 build to freeze.

The strange thing is that Soulseek poses no problem at all.

Would this be related to ip stack changes or would it just be a crappy disk device driver?

I'm really missing utorrent

In any case, you're dealing with a beta OS, so it's an "if it works great, if not, great". Perhaps when it reaches an RC state or something. :P

I know, it's true. It's just weird that only torrent-clients and dc++ have this effect and soulseek and other filetransfer clients work great.

I was just trying to find out if this could be a problem that would be fixeable with some setting in uTorrent or not.
