Ladysox Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Hello. I am at my witts end and begging for some help/advise. Got a new system this week running Vista and cannot get utorrent or any other client to work. I've been reading and reading but just can't seem to find the answer. My other systems, both on xp on wireless home network, work fine. Its just the new system running Vista. When opening utorrent it freezes up my internet connect and can't even shut down. I also have a Dlink dl 524If anyone can offer me some advise in plain english as I am not a whiz by all means, it would be greatly appreciated!

Ultima Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Try lowering net.max_halfopen to 4 or even 2 in Preferences > Advanced to see if it helps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I'm running short of ideas, as I don't use Vista, so it's not something I'm familiar with troubleshooting...Anyway, how fast is your connection's upload rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladysox Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I cannot connect at all. When I open a torrent in utorrent my internet connection is lost/blocked ....something. I can no longer surf, check email nothing, yet the icon in system tray still says connected. If I open utorrent, with nothing trying to upload/download, then its fine. Did the same with bitcomet also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Yowza, totally forgot -- have you disabled DHT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladysox Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 both DHT Network and torrents are Enabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Disable DHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladysox Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 ok both disabled...same issue. Sorry to bother you with this, I am so frustrated. I just did a port test also while I was in there and it says not open??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 ... I must be losing it today -- I keep forgetting stuff (apologies). Um, go to the Peers tab, right-click the peers list, then disable IP resolving. As for the port forwarding issue... check portforward.com for instructions for the DI-524.And can you restart your computer, router, and modem to make sure everything in the connections table are cleared?

Ladysox Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 ok if I go into the peers tab and right click I only have.IP, Port, Client, Flags, %, Rev, Downspeed, Upspeed, Request, Waited, Uploaded, Downloaded, Hasheer, Peer d/l rate, max up, max down, queud, inactive, debug, reset. I do not see anything about Disable IP Resolving. (this uTorrent 1.6.1) Also, tried the portforward site earlier and does not give Vista instructions. I am batting a thousand! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Can you right click below the column headers in the peers tab? If right-clicking does nothing there, flip to a list that has a peer in the list, and right click the peer -- you should see the IP resolving option there.As for port forwarding, it's not OS dependent when you forward your ports -- it's OS dependent when you set a static IP up. How would you go about doing so? I'm not sure myself, but try Googling for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladysox Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I'm so sorry but I still do not see that. When I open uTorrent on the bottom 1/2 of the screen there are tabs...General, Peers, Flags, % etc. I clicked on Peer tab and then right click and it gives me the drop down list that I posted above.Am I in the right spot?

Ultima Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 You're not right-clicking the correct spot in the Peers tab... don't click the column headers, but below it (the actual list of peers, where it's all white).And if you're not sure how to set a static IP in Vista, perhaps this might help. When you get to step 6, the rest should be similar to the directions for XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladysox Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 ok there is nothing there. When I click the Peers tab, it is just blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 :<Connect to a torrent, and when you connect to a peer (I hope you can ;\), right click the peer in the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladysox Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 that's why I can't do that..I cannot connect to a peer. When I start a torrent, it never starts to d/l or u/l anything. Then internet connection seems to freeze up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaydee81 Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Looks like a feature request Make the resolve IP option available even if you're not connected to a peer Maybe also the add Peer... option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hm, then I suppose peer IP resolving wouldn't be a problem for you... I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point. Perhaps you'll find some more tips searching the forums for vista (admittedly, I haven't really paid much attention to those threads, so I don't know what kinds of information they might hold).

Ladysox Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 well think / thought I had won. Changed the port settings in my router and poof, connected. But then about 3 mins later...bang there went my internet connection again. Grrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverdeath Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Damn it i've got the same problem, pretty annoying...internet freezes once utorrent opens up on windows vista ultimate x86 edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladysox Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Well I am completely lost...tried another software today and did the same thing. If you have any luck please shout & I will do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Ladysox,Your settings aren't matched up for your connection.Either raise your upload speed max IMMENSELY or reduce your max active torrents considerably.With a 30 KB/sec upload speed, split 4 ways per torrent (due to upload slots being set to 4), that means even with only 1 torrent active each upload slot only gets 7.5 KB/sec each.
