Outgoing ports

[Chryss]

In addition to uTorrent, I run both an ftp and internet radio station on my network. Now, my router has the ability to prioritize applications (radio station needs top priority in order not to buffer) but I'm having some issues configuring uTorrent to be at a low priority, related specifically to upload speed. I've looked through the manual and attempted to set one specific outgoing port for upload. Well, this caused issues with running multiple torrents (something about a socket). How can I tell uT to use a specific range of outgoing ports only?

A secondary question, is using automatic upload rate advisable in this scenario? I want to let uT utilize as much ul bandwidth as possible, but make sure it doesn't cause buffering for my radio station. I have a 10down/1up connection (soon to be a 16/2).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

btw, it is a DGL4100 router, if that matters.

set net.outgoing_port then set net.outgoing_max_port to something higher, but give it a decent range. Maybe 10 higher?

Also, do you use a firewall? Some firewalls may prevent this function from working.

And no, the automatic upload function works pretty badly. I wouldn't recommend it.

If all your machines are Windows-based, I'd suggest getting something like cfosspeed, which can do cooperation among multiple machines and does application-based priorities (in addition to protocol priority).

Only firewall is the one built into the router. So you'd recommend against using gamefuel and using cfosspeed instead then?

Well, it'll give you more consistent results (since the problem with BT clients is the encrypted traffic that protocol detection can't identify).

But see if a range of ports works for the outgoing option.
