Utorrent kicking me offline

[reactor903]

I have been having very weird bug lately everytime i start up utorrent, and wait like 30 min..my internet will cut off...i could be on all day with no break in service than bam as soon as I bot up utorrent and 30 min later i lose all connectivity. I have a sneaking suspicion Comcast is doing something, but all i do is unplug the modem and plug it back in and im back in business..i really think i have narrowed it down to utorrent being the problem..any thoughts?

First link in my signature regarding interrupted connections.

thanks a bunch...ill try that out see if it works..

What exactly is DHT anyways?

[moogly]

Distributed Hash Table for trackerless method. Very useful on public trackers.

Torrent files are typically published on websites or elsewhere, and registered with a tracker. The tracker maintains lists of the clients currently participating in the torrent.[4] Alternatively, in a trackerless system (decentralized tracking) every peer acts as a tracker. This is implemented by the BitTorrent, µTorrent, rTorrent, KTorrent, BitComet, and Deluge clients through the distributed hash table (DHT) method.

How fast is your connection and what settings are you using in uTorrent?

[DreadWingKnight]

O20 - Winlogon Notify: WindowsUpdate - C:\WINDOWS\

It looks like you have leftovers from a virus infection.

[reactor903]

my connection is pretty fast, but then dies after about 30 min.. what setting do you wanna know?

DreadWingKnight: should i delete that ? and would that couse me to lose my connection?

now it just dies when i was trying to send this message and i didnt even have U torrent on! lol what the heck is going on.

[Switeck]

Measured download/upload speeds.

Speed Guide (CTRL+G) settings, plus ANY advanced settings you changed.

[reactor903]

6082 Download 792 Upload 143ms latency

netmax half open to 7

Upload Limit: 102 Upload slots: 14

Connections per torrent: 2329 Connections Global: 20

Max Active Torrents : 60 Most active Downloads: 63

[thelittlefire]

Go to the 2nd link in Switeck's signature and put in values for your xx/768 connection. Youtube guides ARE BAD!!

[reactor903]

i had been using those settings for a while with no problem why would a problem manifest itself now? i changed the settings anyway. ill let u know if it fixes itself..

[thelittlefire]

Why haven't they caused problems, maybe because you weren't torrenting alot? The point is when you setup uT for your connection http://utorrent.com/setup_guide.php you will be able to just let it GO without intervention. At your old settings you weren't sharing... which is good for people who like to shape traffic but bad for you in the swarm. Peak queue settings, 63 * 14 = 882 and that's < 1/8 KiBps, NOT GOOD. Minimum per slot number is 1 for basic negotiation/flow control, and to get "better" speeds it should be as high as 3. Aside from the fact your upload was previously set too high for your connection which would also intermittently block out all traffic making you appear offline to OTHER upload traffic.

Yes, here's hoping it fixes itself... also Ctrl-P > Advanced , press RESET when highlighting all values with * which you don't know what they mean. It will help

[reactor903]

it didnt..i keeps persisting to kick me offline...ill reboot when i get home and see if it goes away.in the mean time im open to any idea, id be happy to supply for info when i get back home to my PC..i have even switched out modems.

one piece of info that is prob important i was infected with the dreaded vundo virus before all this i got rid of it with Malware Bytes it seems to be gone but maybe it did some damage somewhere else..
