effward Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Whenever I start up uTorrent to begin downloading, nothing else that connects to the internet works any more. No matter how slow the downloads are going, and no matter how much I limit the connections, I still cannot surf the internet, IM, or do anything that uses the internet.I have a 26 mbps comcast connection, and even if I am DLing at 4 kb/s and uploading at 10 kb/s I cannot load any web pages or log on to AIM.Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Switeck Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Your ComCast connection is NOT 26 megabits/second upload!uTorrent's settings are based on how fast your line can sustain upload speeds.2nd link in my signature...for settings choices.

effward Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I never said it was 26 mbps upload, it is 3 mbps upload, and I know that. I have my settings set for 512 kbps.Oh and just to be clear, my torrent download/upload speeds are plenty fast, the problem is that I cannot do anything else on the internet regardless of the torrent's upload/download speed.Requested Information:* Color of the network status light in µTorrent's status bar (THE PORTS ARE OPEN AND UTORRENT WORKS FINE, ITS THE WEB BROWSING THAT'S SLOW. THE ICON IS GREEN) * What the port checker from the Speed Guide writes (OK! Port 18093 is open and accepting connections.) * What the Speed Guide shows your settings to be (press Ctrl+G in µTorrent) (CONNECTIONS PER TORRENT 90 - MAXIMUM GLOBAL CONNECTION 250 - MAX ALLOWED DOWNLOADS AT THE SAME TIME 3) * What you have net.max_halfopen set to (Preferences > Advanced in µTorrent) (8) * Operating system installed (Windows XP, 2000, ME, 98, 95, NT? Something else?) XP PRO * Security software installed (firewall, antivirus, antispyware, antiadware) Windows Firewall, Spybot Search and Destroy * Exact router model(s), and exact modem model (D-Link EBR-2310, Motorola Comcast Modem) * ISP (Internet Service Provider) being used - Comcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 You might be overloading your router. Try turning off DHT and maybe even lowering max connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Also try turning off LPD, NAT-PMP, UPnP, and Resolve IPs.If that doesn't fix things, I don't know what will.May be hostile (commercial or otherwise) software on your computer also causing problems.
