count down to port randomiser

[munkifisht]

For some reason (ISP or Router, not sure which) but my torrents lock up after a few megs are downloaded, the way I found around this is to randomise the port every so often as downloads come down. If a feature could be added to uTorrent to allow the program to do this itself with out my help, I would be very happy.

That doesn't play nice, since a peer would need to do full stop and start on the tracker every time the port gets randomized.

I'd say solve the real problem.

To solve the problem, firstly when you say "torrents lock up after a few megs are downloaded"...do you mean download speed drops straight to 0 or something else?

Are you also uploading at a reasonable rate PER upload slot so after the initial speed bonuses for starting a new torrent are over other BT clients have ample reason to reward you with more of the torrent?

Are you using DHT, UPnP, Resolve IPs/Show country flags? (any of those can be hard on less robust networking hardware and software.)

What do you have Window's and µTorrent's half-open limits set to? (µTorrent's needs to be considerably less than Window's max.)
