need help please :( all downloads appear in red

[just_aaq]

hi all

i have a problem with my utorrent

when i start the application All my downloading files appear in Blue and all the seeding files appears in green

but after a while (around 1 hour ) all of them turned in to the red color ?

now i know that the red color indicate that the tracker is offline but the files have different trackers ( at least 4 different trackers )

and it is not possible that they all disconnect at the same time !!!

can any one please tell me the why this issue happened with me ?

and how to solve it ?

thanks in advance

We're asking for more information in order to be able to answer your question.

Your refusal to provide that information indicates to us you don't want your question answered.

[just_aaq]

first of all sorry for not providing the information

i was wrong

but any way

first of all my router type is TP-LINK

my OS is windows XP SP2

utorrent version is 1.6

currently i am downloading around 5 files at the same time AVG size 4 GB

and uploading at the same time 4 files

the max speed of my network is 64 D 16 U

i tested a little theory to solve the issue and it worked so far

i reduced the number of concurrent downloading files to 3 and uploading to 2 !!!

and the issue gone so far

but am not sure it will sty that way !!!

can any one help ?

or have an information why reducing the number of downloading files actually solve the issue

thanks

Running more torrents just divides your connection more ways, slowing everything down.

If you have too many connections going at once (which you probably did) you can (and usually do) choke your connection off.

thanks man

but the question is

is this he reason why my icons appear in Red ?

(is it that i choke the intenet so much that the application couldnt even connect to the tracker )?

thanks for caring and for the information

[DreadWingKnight]

Yes it is.

Running piles of torrents is bad, especially on lower-end connections like yours.

[Nefarious]

did u try running just one or two of those torrents to see if that thing happens anyway?

[just_aaq]

yes man i tried to run only two and so far things are good the red button is no longer there but the speed sucks never more than 10 KB although in good days i got download rates around 40 KB

any way thanks guys for all help

Since you said you can only upload at 16 KB/sec max, you need to use the xx/128k setting in Speed Guide (CTRL+G)...and maybe increase its settings very slightly.

[just_aaq]

thanks Switeck

i already did that

am using the 128 with a little modification

am not downloading only one file as suggested instead i am downloading 2 files and uploading one

my speed is 15-25 KB

it is not perfect but it is better than before

thanks to all
