imseeker Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 This is probably simple - I'm about to try Ultima's "how to fix internet interruptions/update trackers" suggestions, but I thought I'd ask because overall everything works great.When I get up in the morning, utorrent is still running, but all the tracker icons have gone red, and there is no longer any upload or download. All I have to do is to stop utorrent and then restart it and everything is fine and dandy again.Obviously something triggers utorrent into this "don't do anything - all trackers are red" state, but given all I have to do is stop and restart utorrent to fix it - this makes me wonder if it is something dirt simple to fix.(Yes, occasionally it will do this after hours running during the day, so I think it is a "length of time running" problem vs. a night-time problem.)Any thoughts appreciated - and yes, I plan to tweak it with the suggestions here.I have a LinkSys WRT54GSv4 running Tomato 1.11 - I hope that doesn't have the firmware problem also mentioned elsewhere - I have tried reading a lot before posting.

Switeck Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Once flakey networking hardware or software gets overloaded, it tends to stay that way till reset. So µTorrent triggers an overload...then runs like junk afterwards. The Troubleshooting Guide is to try to find what triggers the overload....Which may not be easy! But my guess is DHT or high half open connection rates in µTorrent do it.Have you run Speed Guide (CTRL+G)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imseeker Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Thanks - I'll check into all your suggestions.But - it seems odd that simply stopping and starting utorrent fixes all sins - well, I guess rebooting windows does that too.Wonder if there would be a way for utorrent to realize it is running like junk and then do a pretend restart?

Switeck Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 That can't be done the way µTorrent is currently designed to my knowledge, although I've heard if total connectivity is lost...µTorrent will keep retrying from time to time.Have you run Speed Guide (CTRL+G)?

imseeker Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Definitely have run speed guide - I use that a lot, I make sure my upload speed is way below my max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 I ask because lots of people set Speed Guide based on their connection's rated download speed...which can cause instant overloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
