Maximum increase per cycle

[DiFFeReNT]

I have a Linksys BEFSR41 router.

The ONLY way I can download torrents using my router without bogging it down to the point of:

a) crashing it

causing it to frequently drop all connections

c) making it constantly very slow (internet/websites/everything)

... where reinstalling the firmware is the only way to restore it, which only works sometimes, is to:

1) not use UPnP

and

2) use Azureus' Auto-speed features seen here:

I love utorrent because it is lightweight, fast, etc - but, I just downloaded Linux Mint using utorrent with my download/upload speeds both limited to much less than my internet connection speed and now my router's control panel is broken.

So the features in that screenshot would allow me to switch to utorrent.

Thanks!

Why do you think that those settings will truly solve the problem of your router not supporting the number of connections you have set in your preferences?

I've had global max connections set at 80 - compared with the default 600, if that isn't low enough, then maybe I should drop $100+ on that d-link gigabit "gaming router" that's getting a lot of hype.... I just don't want to spend that kind of money for a few torrents every year...

Anyways, thanks for your input

... ditto. And auto-limiting has been in since early beta of 1.7. Its default check time is 30 seconds every 10 minutes though.

Perhaps to keep it aware of your activity you should lower that to a sample of 10 seconds every minute or 30 seconds?
