brian073 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Well, here is my problem. I have been using uTorrent for months without error. I never had a single problem until last night. When I start up uTorrent, I don't have a problem connecting to trackers, public or private. So, I'll connect to some peers and it will start the upload/download. Now, after about 5 minutes, I get "Offline (timeout)" under the tracker status. I can stay connected to the peers I am already connected to, and it will upload or download to/from them, but the tracker will never update, and I can't connect to anymore peers than I am already connected to. I thought it was the tracker(s) at first, but I have the same problem with every tracker. I did some research and tried some of the suggestions on this site and others, and I can't seem to figure it out. I don't know what it can be since everything had been working perfectly for months.Some relevant information: I have a Linksys WRT54GS v6 Router with DD-WRT v24 installedI am using Windows XP SP3I recently uninstalled AVG Internet Security uTorrent 1.7.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992#p258231Did you tweak DD-WRT and lower the TCP/UDP timeouts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xCaptainAmazing Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Wow, the exact thing started happening to me last night. My specs are the same as the other guy except I have the Linksys WRT150N running the latest version of DD-WRT, and I have SP2. Everything has worked fine for months, years even. I did not change anything and have no idea how to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Make sure that net.max_halfopen is set to 8 or less as well. Be sure to read the thread I linked to and do what I said in DD-WRT's config. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian073 Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Thanks for the replies. I tried adjusting net.max_halfopen to 8 down from 66 a few days ago, and that didn't help. And I had already lowered the TCP/UDP timeouts to 300/300. Although the default of 3600/120 was working perfectly for weeks. My maximum ports is set at 512. I've read through all the stickies and I still can't figure it out. I'll try dropping UPD timeout to 120, but I don't think it's going to help.

Switeck Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 If you're looking to reduce timeouts, try disabling DHT, LPD, UPnP, and Resolve IPs in uTorrent.And only forward TCP on uTorrent's listening port.(DHT uses UDP...but if DHT is disabled, you don't need that.)

Firon Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 You can try raising max ports, disable DHT and lower the connections in utorrent itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
