chou Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Basically after a few minutes utorrnet cuts out my internet.i think its something to do with my router as it doesnt happen when im at my house at uni.iv tried using different torrent clients and the same happens.However i presume its something to do with the interaction between my mac and router as it didnt happen with my with old windows pc. it will kill my connection for around 20 seconds, then it comes back on, and again after a few minutes it will cut off again!any ideas?Im running a macbook pro, fully updated, have given it a static IP (by going into network preferences, IPV4, manually configure, and type the ip address in.have opened the port on router, to the ip of my mac.but still it happens?

NoOneButMe Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 You're making too many connections. Or you're downloading (or uploading) too fast. Throttle these, one by one, to see what fixes it. The version of uTorrent doesn't matter, the problem is with your router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chou Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 even when i limit download limit to 50, check limit upload, having seeding ratio as 1.5, max number of global connections as 10, connections per torrent as 5 it still happens....what else can i limit without it being overkill?edit : by changing a few settings iv managed to stop utorrent killing my internet (i think) but the problem is now it just doesnt download?. i have the green connection light in the bottom right. and blue arrows next to my download but just no activity...my settings are - download limit -70upload limit - 40seeding - 1.5global limit - 10per torrent limit - 5active transfer limit - 8active download limit - 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BN Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 What model of router are you using?What versions of µTorrent for PC and Mac are you using?Might be the NAT table getting filled or it might be something else. A little more info will help us to investigate.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcaliber Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I had this problem for a long time. Recently I got very annoyed and I tried the one thing I figured it couldn't be. I edited the tcpip.sys file in xp sp2 to change the number of half open connections from 10 to 100. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
