pk7677 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Ever since a few weeks ago I have been getting "A network cable is unplugged" error when Utorrent is running, the error pops up and then the connection instantly reconnects. Now the error pops up every minute and its impossible to download any file because the speed kept dropping back to 1~10 Kbs. I have a Linksy BEFSR41 v4.1 router connecting to 3 computers in my house, I only port forward my computer to use Utorrent and I have never downloaded anything from my other 2 computers. I have good download speed when I'm not getting the error, I just downloaded a file today getting 1mb down avg 600kb. I have comcast cable, I tested my speed at Speedtest.net averaging 19262 kb/s download and 3813 kb/s upload. Everything worked fine after I purchased my router half year ago, I portforward my PC and never had any problem like this.The Error only starts when I start Utorrent, and if I close Utorrent the problem will just stay there, its impossible for me to play any online games after I downloaded a file I have to restart my PC everytime.

Switeck Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I have ComCast and used a Linksys BEFSR41 v2 router for years.I used conservative settings, as I was often running uTorrent on a Win 98SE box...and only "killed" the router if I tried to run more than ~120 global connections at once -- which I typically only did on a Win XP Pro box.Router overheating is a possibility, though mine never got more than maybe 100-110 F on its outer case top. Inside I'm sure it was hotter.Even the 2nd link in my signature doesn't give low enough global/per-torrent max connection numbers at 1 megabit/second to keep the router stable.Your speed test was probably inflated by ComCast's Speed Boost. Your real usable upload is probably between 1 and 2 megabit/second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk7677 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 My upload is only 47kb, I have never set it any higher and how can you tell if you "killed" your router?Edited:I lowered Max Global Connection to 120 and still got the same error right after I started Utorrent.

pk7677 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Trying to do a accurate upload speed testing, my results are all over the place, from 300Kb to 3mb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Did you test with all torrents stopped?...And DHT disabled?And other heavy internet-using apps closed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 KIS may be interfering with uTorrent as well.Or uTorrent's settings are set too high!1st and 2nd links in my signature to test that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
