R15 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hi, I have been using utorrent for a long time now. my computer crashed recently and i had to reinstall everything again. I installed utorrent and it seemed to be working fine but then recently when i try to download things it works fine for a while but then the internet connnection to my pc cuts out and i have to unplug and replug the wireless adapter to start it again.This problem never existed before, I share my internet with two other housemates via a router and they also use utorrent but it doesnt cut their connections out (like it never used to with mine).I have set my computer up and now have it wired into another so i can share files, internet connection etc....i tried running utorrent on that pc but the connection also cuts out after a while.I have tested switching off my firewall and have also disabled the router firewall but the connection still cuts out. I have tried limiting the number of my global connections etc, the connection seems to last for longer but at a lower rate and then cuts out again.I have tried setting my internet connection so that it finds my ip address etc automatically and i have also tried making a static ip address etc and port forwarded (this is how i normally have it) but either way it still ends up cutting out.i have tried uninstalling and installing a new version of utorrent..and now have 1.8 beta version and even tried using the bitorrent software but the same thing happens.My problem is not downlod speeds as i can get up to 500kb/s sometimes (depending on peers, global connections etc) but that it cuts out and i cant work out why or what to do!I have read lots of the other posts but people dont seem to have the same problem.sorry for the long post but your help would be really appreciated!!Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R15 Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 i understand what you are saying, i have tried some of those tips previously ie. switching off ip resolving, and DHT, my connection stayed on for half and hour this time and then cut out. i am going to try and change the net.max_halfipen and see what happens.thing i dont understand i though is, the other people who share my connection use utorrent and havent done any of this and there connection doesnt cut out.....thanks a lot for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 what did you set up as your upload speed limit ? Did you go by the uT speed-guide recommendation ? what's your max possible UL speed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R15 Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 hi there, thanks for the post,well i worked out that my max upload is 325kbs with the spead guide thing and so it set my upload limit to 35 kbs.....but i limited it to 15kbs just to make sure.I have also tried lowering my global connections etc to like 100....but it doesnt seem to make a difference.what do you think?

rafi Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 that you did good. try to disable local peers discovery & Peer exchange, see if that helps a bit. Get your ISP advice on the recommended MTU as well. lower it to see if it helps too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R15 Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 ok, i'll try those two things, thanks.Sorry but what does MTU stand for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Maximum Trasfer Unit. use tcpoptimizer for that . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 And make sure TCPOptimizer does NOT set web server connections too high.Its default values are about 4 times too high. Better to use the old defaults for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
