indn1 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 OK I'm wondering what could cause a DL to go pretty smooth for about 5min. then slow to a complete stop? I even have to restart my modem and sometimes eaven sine back in to my dsl account im using ATT . could they be messing with it? No prob streaming or surfing.

Switeck Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Availability on the torrent low?Multiple peers on about the same percentage as you?Upload ceases too?You chose uTorrent settings from Speed Guide (CTRL+G) or 2nd link in my signature? (If so, what?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nattydread Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Im having exactly the same problem...trying to figure out if its virgin.... availability on torrent is high and it goes fine until after about 5mins everything (d/l &u/l) grinds to a halt. Have enabled protocol encryption but same problems reoccurs, after which i have to restart the reuter to even be able to surf the web. Very strange.... everything was fine when i was using Bitlord...then i reinstalled windows and it was all brand spanking new, installed utorrent which worked on friends connection with Be ISP provider.... but now has become a pain in my ass. Can't sustain downloads even though i am limiting d/l speed to 90kps. Chose speed guide according to 1mbps connection ....AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!Have limited bt.connect_speed to 10 and lowered net.max_halfopen to 4 as well as limited global max no of connections to 200....

Switeck Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Are you sure you have 1 megabit/sec USABLE upload speed? (Speed tests show more than that?)"after which i have to restart the reuter to even be able to surf the web."Your router or modem cutting out is a severe problem with THEM, not your ISP and not uTorrent...at least if you're using somewhat reasonable settings in uTorrent.Try the 1st link in my signature, slow speed/interrupted internet part and get back with us with the results...

LS7 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 I to am having a similar problem. Everything starts out fine and about five minutes or so later the list of torrents being downloaded stats going red. All the tracker links seem to die off and cannot be updated. This has only started happening since the last update. I have also had to physically open a port in my router which I never had to do before this last update. Even though the port I opened was being allowed entry, uTorrent was saying it wasn't. Now when I shut down uTorrent, the program closes but the traffic to and from my system continues until I physically close the port down. All this is new since the last update. Never had problems like this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBx2 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Same problem. Strangely, all I have to do to get another few minutes of up/downloading is stop and restart a torrent or make a settings change.And access to the utorrent site (including forums) is decidedly flaky - it's unavailable a lot of the time. Returns "Document contained no data" and "The connection was refused when attempting to contact forum.utorrent.com." in FF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBx2 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Switeck, thanks. I've been through all the posts on the subject and implemented all the recommendations. The problem has only appeared since the update to 1.8.3 build 15722. Before the update uTorrent worked great for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
