SonicSam Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Hello,Once I reach around 300kb/s and higher, as long as it stays up in those speeds I lose connection to the internet seconds later. Making me either restart or reinstall the network cards driver to continue surfing the net. If I start the download again the same thing happens.Why is this?Latest uTorrent version.

Switeck Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Probably some settings-induced overloads.What's ALL the settings you're using in µTorrent as shown by Speed Guide (CTRL+G)?What's the speed of your connection both up and down? (UPLOAD is more important!)Have you changed any of µTorrent's advanced settings from their default values? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVDMAN Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 OK, its time to fight back.I too was having 300-400 and even a couple days 550+. Now I have seen a max of 75 with a lot of seeds. I ran communication tests and they had now problem with 400. I found that binary files were stored on the USENET so I tried the download of these. NO problem 350-400. I know a lot of people who payed the extra to get 800kps but are only getting 50 now - they are pi..ed off.So here is the plan. Everyone, I repeat everyone MUST use the USENET to make Rogers pay just as much the our usage of uTorrent. Just download 24 hous 7 days a week continuously even if you don't need it - but I'm sure you can find things of interest. If they attempt to block that system too then that is more support for us because now the users of USENET will theaten to leave Rogers as well.I used Xnews which is free. Found free USENET's such as news3.telebyte.nl. Check http://www.newsservers.net/FreeNewsServers.phpLets get 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
µtorrent-Guest Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 8/5 torrents on a 794 kilobitspersecond uploadline looks a bit high to me!(haven't the original suggested values in the head right now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 SonicSam,Try disabling DHT, UPnP, and ip resolving in µTorrent.Enable Peer Exchange if you haven't to offset the loss of DHT.Also try lowering the half open max setting in advanced from 8 as low as 3.Even your current settings may be allowing too many connections for at least 1 part of your networking software and hardware. Try reducing max connections to under 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
