mercenary_sg Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Hi, i am having problem with utorrent and WinXp. When i have utorrent running for more than an hour, my com will become sluggish as in that WinXP is very in responsive and sluggish in opening program. I suspect is the disk cache problem as i dun have problems with Bitcomet on the following settings.Com WinXP SP2AMD64 3200+1GB RamConnect to router.Using utorrent v1.6 with the following changed settings.Global Maximum Connections 1000Maximum no of connected peers 990No of upload sots per torrent 20Max upload at 20KBpsAdvance settings as followednet.max_halfopen 100Thats is my Utorrent settings but will lag after an hour of usageEven i just lower the max connections to 500 and connected peers to 450, it will still lag too.Pls help, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPenguin Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 For one, did you actually apply the XP SP2 TCP Limit patch also, instead of only saying you want 100 connections? Also if you did apply the patch, did you actually change it to 100? If so you should tell uTorrent to only use like 95, otherwise, you will have XP going insane because it's maximum amount of half_open connections will be used up and it will probably make other applications like web browsers go nuts also.Also, what router, so we can better help you? Also, are you sure your router can handle 1000 connections? That seems like it would end up possibly killing (not permantly) your router, once you run a lot of torrents or run a torrent with a huge number of seeds and peers.

mercenary_sg Posted October 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Hi, sorry, i had applied the TCP/IP patch and patched it to 1000 already. I am using Dlink DGL-4300 router and MB built-in NIC. MB is MSI Neo 4 Plat. For BC, no such problem for such a high no of connections. And yup, my router can do that much of connections.

Switeck Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 D-Link does NOT like high half open connection rates...like above 20. And even 10 may be pushing it if you're maxing out your upload OR download bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercenary_sg Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Hmm, but does this matter about the router? Cos its my com that is becoming sluggish in performance after an hour of so of utorrent. Since setting at such high half open connection rates, my router dun even hang and i am still able to do normal websurfing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 It matters after you run µTorrent for a day straight or longer without a reboot of the router.There are multiple bottlenecks in computers/networks, and the settings you're wanting to use are ridiculous.If you really only have 20 KB/sec upload speed to spare, use Speed Guide (CTRL+G) and choose the xx/192k setting.

mercenary_sg Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 But how is my setting ridculous. But i have to set the total global connection and connected peers to such high nos in order to get a decent speed, else will loiter at speeds as ard 20KBps since my isp does not provide good oversea speeds. Or maybe u mistaken that its the speed problem i am facing. Now i am facing sluggish performance on WinXP when running with utorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Because you are being unfair with the people you're downloading from!20 upload slots per torrent is a major mistake with your settings -- even if you're running just 1 torrent at a time, you're only giving out 1 KB/sec per person...probably even less!1000 connections is excessive, PERIOD, end of story.There's people here that'd love to get and sustain 50 connections, but their hardware, software, computer, or ISP simply cannot handle it.My computer is running Win 98SE, so if I go over 90 connections I can expect problems despite the registry patch I've run.Even some really fast setups (like 45 Megabits/sec T-3 lines) can max out their connection with fewer than 100 connections on public torrents.You're seeking something from these 100's of extra connections but not offering anything in return, as it is virtually impossible for you to upload to all of them. Nor should you try, because uploading at very slow speeds (<0.1 KB/sec) is basically worthless to all participants.Your ISP is probably throttling overseas traffic, so have you tried protocol encryption?Then you shouldn't "need" 1000 connections, and can probably make do with just 100 -- or at least 50 per torrent.
