krukid Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I have a tricky LAN situation, almost every day the router would block or limit internet traffic for different periods of time. With the versions 1.8.3, 1.8.4 I've noticed that the transition from blocked/limited channel to the normal state seems to have degraded - torrents are frequently just freezing, or fail to start (even the ones added after the "blackout") until program reboot. That wasn't the case with versions <= 1.8.2.While a torrent is frozen, the program shows that DHT is working, green tick and all, trackers online, torrent may have up to several thousands of seeds and peers and yet, no connections with them are made. At the same time, some other torrents may be running just fine.Reboot fixes it all, but the problem is I leave uTorrent running for hours or days and later find out that a blackout has frozen some downloads.P.S.: I have run into similar symptoms with version 1.8.3 at another LAN, where the router is not known to be an issue, after upgrading from 1.8.2 to 1.8.3.

mvmvmvmv Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I've been using uTorrent for years and have never had issues until using the 1.8.2, 1.8.3, and 1.8.4.I'm having the same exact issue, and everything in that setup guide is nothing new that I've not already been following for years. Something is different in these new versions. As soon as I shut it down my internet comes back. However, it I run the uTorrent on another computer (computer for example, then the internet on computer A is not effected. This seems like a port forwarding issue, but I have a hardware firewall and don't use the XP software firewall, thus creating a new port doesn't fix the issue. Note, I am not new to forwarding ports either, and my ports all test, and ping fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 If you're on ComCast...you have to ignore speed tests results and use (way!) lower values.Or you WILL have troubles with the latest uTorrent versions.So what settings are you using?

AdamK Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 This sounds like it is either: - uTorrent is using all the upload bandwidth, and the browser doesn't have enough to make requests - OR, you are running into the silly windows half-open limitTry lower upload settings first. If that doesn't work, try monitoring your connections with sysinternals tcpview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
