jervin Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Posted October 20, 2006 hmm... doesn't seems to work... are you sure this will work on dsl 500g? what is suppose to appear after following all these instructions...cd /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/cat ip_conntrack_maxdoes this really work?
Switeck Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 You need to know how much upload and download bandwidth is available as a whole on your internet connection as well as how much of it YOU can use without causing the others wanting to use it slowdowns and problems.Unlimited upload speed in µTorrent will no doubt make them want to club you... Run Speed Guide (CTRL+G) and do speed tests on both down and up while next to nothing else is going on with the internet connection. These are the MAX speeds for the connection, but if you use that much you'll definitely cause high pings in online games for others as well as slower download speeds. So you may have to settle for using 50% or even as little as 20% of the connection's upload speed.
jervin Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Posted October 20, 2006 normally i set the connection type to xx/96k
Switeck Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 That's possibly too high if you only have 128kilobits/sec total upload bandwidth.
jervin Posted October 21, 2006 Author Report Posted October 21, 2006 do you mean that other might be doing heavy download too? and crash the router, so i should decrease the global connection more? my connection is 1536 Kbps. if need to decrease, how much should i go to?
Switeck Posted October 21, 2006 Report Posted October 21, 2006 Everyone always mentions the fastest speed as their connection...and it's always download speed.Are you saying you're all sharing a single 1.5 megabits/sec down (and 128 kilobits/sec up?) line?!?!Or is that the connection's upload speed?
jervin Posted October 21, 2006 Author Report Posted October 21, 2006 oops sorry that's the connection speed, but normally when i do http downloads, the fastest i could go is 100 plus minus, around 90+ or 110-.
Switeck Posted October 21, 2006 Report Posted October 21, 2006 You simply must test your upload speed when little/nothing else is going on and report back to us.This way, we have something to go by on what configuration might suit your situation best.
leesing2k3 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 hi, Jervin. I have same problem too. The downloading is always fine with p2p running. But recently, it is bad. Izzit something to do with the isp? i dunno.The have limited the upload speed to 17k/s, since the line's upload is only 256kbps. I have tried limit the connection but it is not helping.I have searched through the web and found out that it is also something to do with the DHT of bittorrent. It is coz of bad UDP of DSL-500x modems. I have disabled it and it works for quite some time but now it is not working.
Firon Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Have you tried turning off UPnP as well?How many max connections did you set?
leesing2k3 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 i have turned off upnp, set the max connections as low as 30. But still...... It's like almost everything that can be done is done. I read somewhere that it is about the maximum active nat that dsl-500g can handle, so basically dsl-500g sux? or is there anything else that i can do to minizie the active nat?
jervin Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Posted November 7, 2006 now this is what i just did, global max 40-200, max number 10-20, upnp off, ipfilter false, half open 8-50, lazy bit sometimes true sometimes false, max upload 10-20, max download 20-unlimited, encryption on(but i guess encryption is total useless, on/off the same) and guess what it still crashes at minimum...is it because the tracker can cause crash? or is it i used these many connections, my housemates also used alot of connections, then it crashes? what's the problem, it is a problem i cannot solve already, bastard dlink router!!!a side note: it seems like there are alot of useless connections especially those ip that are not 60.x.x.x, 218.x.x.x, 219.x.x.x for streamyx... so the download also seems slowcan any of you guys out here help me... i am desperately in need of solving this problem...
DreadWingKnight Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 my housemates also used alot of connections, then it crashes?This is it.bastard dlink router!!!I'd have a hard time saying it better myself.
jervin Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Posted November 7, 2006 ok let me rephrase that, my 7 housemates don't use bt, they use normal http downloads, web surfing and IM, nothing else nothing more, sometimes uses limewire. still crashes occur.
DreadWingKnight Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 the "Bastard DLink router" comment stands.
jervin Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Posted November 7, 2006 is there certain trackers that disconnects too?
DreadWingKnight Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 Nope. Tracker connections aren't persistent.
jervin Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Posted November 7, 2006 if you were in my shoes, what router would you root for?and why are there unused connections, connected but not downloading... or uploading...
