djbryson Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Using the latest uTorrent (1.7.x) with winXP on the default port. I have the port forwarded on my router. uTorrent works fine, but when it's running everything else that uses connectivity is super slow, to the point where it usually doesn't even work. I'm talking web pages not loading, MSN can't connect, etc. Killing uTorrent isn't enough. I have to kill uTorrent and restart my router. I have 2 computers running off my router. THe other PC doesn't even have uTorrent, but it's effected too. So, uTorrent is doing something to my router. Should I try just changing the port? If that doesn't work I guess i'll just use ABC, cause Azureus sucks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djbryson Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 hmmm, well... I don't feel like trouble shooting. I work with computers all day. I think i'll just install ABC or go back to Azureus, much easier then messing with settings. And yes, i am indirectly mocking the programming of uTorrent. Well, i suppose i'm directly mocking it now.

DreadWingKnight Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Actually, you're directly mocking your own laziness.Being unwilling to troubleshoot indicates to us that you don't want to find the real cause of your problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbryson Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 well, to be accurate it's both. My laziness and bad programming, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 If it's bad programming, then why is my connection and the connections of hundreds of other users fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbryson Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 When I install Azureus or ABC it just works, without messing around with anything. uTorrent doesn't, hence my opinion of the programming. TCP/IP patch, come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 You have given no useful information for troubleshooting.Are you going to provide the requested information or are you simply going to criticize, condemn, and complain?

nos_slived Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 It's a problem with your network setup. You want the µTorrent developers to scrap it's optimization because you're too lazy to realize that it's a problem with your setup, not µTorrent? Right...

funchords Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Killing uTorrent isn't enough. I have to kill uTorrent and restart my router.Too many simultaneous connections, not enough router memory. 1. Turn off DHT2. Set global max number of connections to 150Problem solved.Azureus probably already has these lower settings, or makes fewer DHT connections than uTorrent does.

djbryson Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 @nos_slived, don't you think it would be smarter to program it to work out of the box? Instead of having to mess with settings? It should be the opposite. Mess with the settings to optimize it. Not mess with the settings to make it work. I have a Linksys G router. Isn't that a pretty good router? Ok!! i will download again and try to fix it! Stand by.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funchords Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 This is also a common problem with Azureus -- I'm saying that your configuration on Azureus is already okay, either because you fixed it or just by chance. http://azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad_routers#Usual_solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 The troubleshooting guide tells of numerous things to try:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992µTorrent won't work out of the box perfectly because some boxes are defective and/or slow. Dial-up requires vastly different settings than even low-end broadband. But Speed Guide (CTRL+G) should handle most decent setups ok. Only weak networking software and hardware will require further changes...which unfortunately it seems you have.Try decreasing µTorrent's net.max_halfopen value to only 1-4.

djbryson Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I think i may have found the issue. I was manually forwarding the port, but I also had uPNP enabled. I didn't think this would matter. Anyway, it's seems ok now. The weird thing is, i can't reproduce the problem now. If I put the check back in uPNP it's still ok. Maybe a coincidence. I don't know. My system is pretty clean, I don't think it's OS flakiness. I have a 3mb/s connection too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Poorly written networking drivers or networking software may work perfectly 99% of the time...but you don't want to be using it when the 1% randomly hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
