diabsiniman Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I appologise if this hasd been braught up before but after running three searches with variations on my subject i got no satisfactory answer.I have three computers running on my networkonly one runs utorrent, this computer is also my main computer (the one I do work on) I run my outlook and surf the internet from this machine, the other two computers are basically file servers.I have noticed that if I run utorrent on my machine all my internet traffic (including utorrent) grinds to a halt and my torrents stop running whether they be seeding or downloading, but if I go to one of my other computers I can still surf the internet and download normally any files I want.I have tried setting up my utorrent according to the instructions I have gotten through the multiple threads that I searched for a solution but after a week of trial and error have finally given up.I am running all my machines on windows XP SP2 and I have a choice of either a siemens giga762sx or a netgear dg834g router. Please let me know if there is any further information you require from me.your help with this would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 1st and 2nd links in my signature, we need more information about your connection and uTorrent settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diabsiniman Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 I have already followed the instructions in the Troubleshooting Guide, I have a strange uncapped ADSL line, during the day my line runs at 384kb down and 128kb up, in the evenings and weekends I have 2Mb down and 384kb up, i have set utorrent (with the scheduler) to run during the high speed times, the settings that i have set it up with though are the ones for the slower times (up of 128kb) i get these speeds from speedtest.net. (my closest server is johannesburg) And as i have already stated, the slowing down/stopping of internet only affects one computer on my network, when i run a speed test from one of the other machines on my network the internet speed is still the same, unchanged, and when i am able to run the test on my machine the speeds dont change iether, but the MACHINE itself just no longer can access the internet (network traffic is fine, i connect to the other machines using win vnc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Try the 1st link in my signature, slow speed/interrupted internet part.A computer losing internet access or getting bad lag...is a likely sign of bad networking hardware or software. And since it only happens to the 1 computer, it's probably the network card (or drivers) and/or a faulty software firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diabsiniman Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 switeck i know its utorrent, I have solved my issue by installing bitcomet, although i would prefer to use utorrent i find that no matter how i change the settings it keeps on killing my internet. i havent had a problem with bitcomet and i have been running it all day without any faults Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Since it only happens to the 1 computer, (according to you) I deem it more likely that you have 1 screwed up computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
