Keithj Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I'm not sure what caused it, but I had serious problems connecting with my "home" system via VPN while uTorrent was running this afternoon.I left uTorrent running yesterday when I left, because there were several people using a Torrent on my home machine, and I thought it right to let them use the bandwidth I wasn't using.This afternoon, I tried to connect to the home machine via VPN. The connection to the VPN took a lot longer to establish (I presume because the bandwidth was mostly occupied uploading the torrent to users), but I couldn't log onto the home PC fully before the system threw me off again. It took about 45 minutes of trying before I finally got a connection that stayed up long enough to "kill" uTorrent.It's been fine since then.I suspect the problem is more to do with the router than with uTorrent, but does anyone know a way to persuade a Draytek 2800G not to drop the connection to the VPN while a torrent is running? Otherwise, I'm going to have to be sure to close uTorrent before I leave home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 You're probably overloading the router. http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992#p258231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
