TomUK Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Alright. I have used Bitcomet when I wasn't wireless, but as soon as I went wireless I used µTorrent and it works perfectly, until about 10 minutes of downloading. After this 10 minutes my internet will stop working, my MSN will and so will everything else, including other P2P engines like Limewire, it will only just continue to download, this is half useful and half not and mostly not. So I was wondering is it something I need to sort out on the router or do I need to sort something out in µTorrent? Please help, I need to download much stuff.Thanks, Tom.Note: When I went wireless I scrapped my desktop and use laptops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 First link in my signature regarding interrupted connections. Also, you might want to lower your global maximum number of connections to something like 100, since more might be problematic on wireless connections.

TomUK Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Thanks, but how do I do that? I'm not very technical, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Preferences > BitTorrentYou can set the global number of connections there. Check the speed tweaking checklist first, though. If you get stuck anywhere, feel free to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomUK Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Thank you, I have set it to 100 and so far it's working perfectly, I just have one last question (hopefully lol), will setting it to 100 make the download go incredibly slower? How much slower will it go if any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Number of connections doesn't directly affect your speeds. An increased number of connections requires more update packets / information which MAY lag your download. However as you're on wireless the number of connections should be lower than when you're wired internet anyway. You can get maxed downloads from 20 peers, if they have a high enough upload.

TomUK Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Well, I thought it worked, and it did, but now it's doing it again. Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
