MaxPowers Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I have two internet connections. One of them is my school internet, using uTorrent with this I have never noticed my computer slow down once. My comp is always 100% fine no matter how many connections I have or how many torrents I got.My second connection is a 10MB down 1MB up. This connection works perfectly (unfirewalled ISP). Problem is when I use uTorrent with +10 torrents it often will slow my whole computer down drastically. The more torrents I start the slower it does (more delay, even as I write this, the keyboard buffer is being used a lot )My global max connection with my first connection is often +500 (even though it never reaches) but on my second I bring it down to 50 global max and its still laggy... Its like uTorrent is sending 2 many signals which causes uTorrent to kind of freeze as it waits to send the other signals (kind of like a endless loop)... or something like that..

Ultima Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Are you using the same computer for each connection...? Or are they different computers on different lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 What's your half open connection max set to in µTorrent (under advanced)?Are you actually reaching and sustaining the upload speed max you set in µTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPowers Posted October 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Yes its the same comp... on the same port...and my max half open was 150... just changed to 100 (wil try 50 when it lags again)...I think my max OS is set to 50, so 150 might of been what was causing me the problem...

Switeck Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Lower half open all the back down to 8 again. If that removes most/all of the problems, THEN consider raising it back up slowly. But if you haven't patched Win XP SP2, you will ALWAYS have some degree of problems beyond 8 half-open limit in µTorrent.Even if you patched Windows (or are on a windows version not crippled by such settings), OTHER components may have problems -- hardware such as a router, modem, or software such as a firewall or antivirus/antispyware with netmonitoring features.

MaxPowers Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 yeah its doing it again with 8 connections...Besides with show statics it says only 1 half open... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Then we can rule out µTorrent's over-aggressive settings being the cause of the problem.You definitely should set different ports depending on which network/internet link you're using.You wouldn't be trying to use DHT and UPnP by any chance?
