fish312 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Alright i hope this is the right forum.Anyway, i'm using a linksys router which is shared among a few people. Anyway there's one user in the network who uses utorrent, problem in that his global number of connection was set extremely high (like 1000) which causes the router and consequently my connection to become problematic (pages won't load...etc)I know that global connections can be set via the preferences page in utorrent settings.The thing is, they can always be changed back as and when the user wants.So my question is, can i configure my router to limit the total number of global connections to something like 200? Being able to limit it router side would be very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 You'll have to check out alternate firmwares.... Is it your router? If this person is a roommate causing trouble for all of you perhaps a sit-down is warranted? You could also lock this person out of the network... <evil grin> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denonir Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hi hope someone can help !! Just started using a Siemens Gigaset SE587 router and cannot appear to get anything to start downloading. I have the green tick at the bottom showing network ok and when tested I am told the port is forwarded o.k.The DHT icon always seems to say waiting to log in (on rare occasions it sorts itself and like right now has 242 nodes connected) 22(104)seeds, 17(215)peers but no download speed. And the arrow to the left of my downloading file is red.My service provider is Tiscali (8mb line).I know it's probably something i'm not doing but can't see what !!!!PLEASE HELP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Tiscali b0rkes your connection because they're overloaded. Added to that they generally shape during day hours and block ports too. The Tracker Status tells you why Torrent Status icons are red. What's the message?

jewelisheaven Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Not quite. The Details pane (F5) has a General tab. On the General tab is a field called Tracker Status. What error message does it report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denonir Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 "invalid url""connection closed by peer""offline timed out"Never knew all that info was there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Well Invalid url is for that UDP tracker. Closed by peer is you announcing too fast. Timeout suggests you need to either 1)reduce active peerloads 2)reduce the upload rate OR both. Tiscali is not known for being very accommodating. A search on the forum here will provide that.
