lern2swim Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Hello everyone, I've been having a problem with utorrent lately. I didn't change any settings that I know of prior to this and am out of ideas for what the cause could be. This issue seems a bit different from many of the ones posted here.Basically, I'll start downloading torrents like normal. Speeds are fine for a while and then, suddenly, all downloads and uploads will drop down to 0. If I restart my pc, it goes back to normal, then does the same thing. When this happens, I can still go online on my ps3, xbox, and my parents' laptop works as normal but if I try to stream from my pc to my ps3 it won't find my pc and my browser will not find any web pages. I set up my router when I started using utorrent and, as I said, I haven't recently changed any settings. The fact that other equipment is working correctly still makes me assume this is a problem somewhere between the pc and router. I have no idea what to do though.Some details:WinXPcomcast broadbandavast, comodo, and spybot running(none have ever caused problems with utorrent)upnp/nat-pmp: enabledmax global connections: 200max peers/torrent: 100dht both disabled(after this started happening)resolve ip: disabledI also downloaded the patcher recommended on here(I'm brain farting on the name) after this started happeningI'm using linksys router and modem:router model: befw11s4modem model: befcmu10(writing on those models is small, hope those are correct) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero327 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 It's something specific to Comcast. So far I've been told by Comcast that it's my router (and they don't support routers, so they won't troubleshoot, even when I tell them if I disconnect my router and go direct the problem persists,) the application I use (uTorrent, which I dumped Azureus for when it started doing this crap three years ago,) my hardware configuration, Windows, my TCP threshold, firewall (that's a uTorrent forums favorite at the minute,) bad cable modem (which works 100% when doing ANYTHING else other than running torrents,) RAM limitations, bad cabling (again works on everything else) bios, the fact that one of my laptops is running Vista (it can apparently cause problems when it is OFF,) and the Aurora Borealis.... Soon it'll be bad wiring in my smoke detectors (which are wireless?)Read around, you'll find more posts about everything working fine and then all internet goes dead on the computer running uTorrent. So far the majority of users seeing this are on Comcast. All other connected devices will run fine, but that system will remain offline until rebooted. I went out and bought a new up-to-date router figuring it might just be the router, same result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lern2swim Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I figured it might have been something they were doing. The only thing that made me hesitant to assume that was that things go back to normal after reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I'm on ComCast, I run uTorrent v1.8.1 and v1.9 alpha on both Win 98SE and Win XP Pro computers without the drop-to-zero problem.Sounds like you're crashing something in your networking!1st and 2nd links in my signature...for troubleshooting and speed settings.

lern2swim Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 The only thing that makes me doubt that is the fact that I set utorrent up more than 2 yrs ago and it was running perfectly until recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 No.Even with ComCast's past history, this is not consistent with what I've personally seen OR what I've read elsewhere.1st and 2nd links in my signature...for troubleshooting and speed settings.

lern2swim Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I've gone through your links. Pretty much everything that I can understand is set correctly as is in my setup. I'm not saying that it's something insidious that Comcast is doing. I just cannot figure out what it could possibly be settings-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Then please post the needed info so we can help you narrow it down.If it *IS* ComCast's doings, I'd like to know more about it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
