Coheed123 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I have a wireless router which i connect to through an adapter and my internet will work fine up until i try to use utorrent. After I start utorrent it will work for like an hour or so and then it will like mess up my whole connection and i can't even visit web sites. I have to go reset my modem before it will work again.I don't know if its utorrent or not.But that's the only time it happens.Just wondering what it might be.

hermanm Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Try reducing your Global maximum number of connections. I set mine to 30. When I had it at 450 global connections (as the Speed Guide suggested) my router would die very quickly. If I need to desperately download a torrent, I'll increase my maximum peers per torrent but never increase the global max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lito88 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Im having the Same issue with the Same Modem. Ive tried everything and it seems to be the modem at this point. Anyone else have a clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper42 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Sounds like you just have to throttle the uploads and downloads.If that doesnt work, use the bad router approach which is to reduce the Global Max Connections like someone else mentioned.

Switeck Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 "connection type:2mbit"Is best chosen if your UPLOAD was capable of close to 2 megabits/sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coheed123 Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 oh alright.i'll try changing my connection type down to 1mbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coheed123 Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 it still kills it even when i have global connections at like 30.so do i just have to keep setting it lower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coheed123 Posted October 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 yeah i did.it was one of the first things suggested.also i tried setting the global down to 20 and it still messes up.am i just doomed to a life of no bittorrent? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastNinja Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 btw... does this problem still occur when u disconnect the router... or only when u use it?if its only when u use the router i suppose uve already upgraded to the latest firmware... another (perhaps) possible reason for the problems even though it may seem strange may be related to the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)... check this out, and try to tweak the value (if possible with your router):http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=DSL&message.id=1195p.s. make sure to remember the default setting before changing it...also try connecting another computer to the router and see if that computer still has internet connection after your primary computer loses the connection... in that case the problem is probably related to the computer (perhaps network card drivers)EDIT: in google u can also try searching for:"problem configure router with <INSERT NAME OF YOUR ISP>"...that way u will know if other ppl have these disconnection problems with your isp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coheed123 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 i did a couple MTU tests and it says it should be set at 1500 and that's what it is set on.i'm pretty sure my problem only happens when i connect through the router because i only have to reset that when it happens. i connect wirelessly with every computer so there is pretty much no way i can be for sure.when i lose connection on the computer using utorrent i lose it on the others too.so i know its not the computers.

tezzza Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 ISP: iiNET.net.au -- ADSL 256/1512Belkin F1PI241EGau ADSL-Modem/Router/wireless-4port this then ran through another 8 port hub3 Computers using Windows XP SP2I appear to be having the same problem as above. I was successfully using uTorrent for a while since version 1.7.2. About 4-5 weeks ago I start having my network 99-100 percent choked. I started fixing at first by resatrting modem/router/hub-switch and computers. About 10 days ago I found out it was uTorrent that was causing the problem and I could fix it by closing uTorrent and waiting a couple of minutes. This problem above appears to be the same problem being experinced by 0tintblue inIndex » Speed problems » uTorrent breaks the Internet :Shttp://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=31300I have not included to much info as you would like. I have mainly posted this email to add some more weight and info to the problem. I am currently using a D-Link 302G my old/standby modem running thru hub. I am currently re-doing my office/computer area so am not giving much time to this issue a moment.Hope this helpsTerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Hubs share bandwidth.If you have a 100 megabits/sec 8-port hub, then if all 8 computers on it are using it...they each can only get about 12.5 megabits/sec on average.Switches and routers can run full speed on all connections/ports at once...at least in theory. In practice, the poorly designed ones (read Belkin!) overload long before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
