the fifth horseman Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Until very recently I've been using uTorrent 1.5 and had no problems.Then I registered on a private tracker and found out they don't allow uT 1.5, onl 1,6 and higher.I went and upgraded to 1.84, since that's the most recent version.After leaving uT running overnight, I find all of the torrents reporting a tracker error, no clients connected and the operating system unable to connect to the internet. A reboot fixes the problem for the most part, but it occurs again after a few hours.In addition, after that happens, closing uT and attempting to run any other application I receive an error message about insufficient memory.The machine I'm using is positively archaic, with a 450 mHz CPU, an old PCChips motherboard (if my memory serves, M748LMRT), either 310 ot 374 MB of RAM (forgot the exact amount really), and Windows 98SE as the operating system.

the fifth horseman Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 The basic problem here is that I used the same exact peer / quequeing / bandwidth settings in 1.5 with no crashes (in fact, it was running concurrently with DC++ most of the time, sometimes also eMule as well):Maximum upload rate 35 kB/sMaximum download rate 25 kB/sGlobal maximum connections 38Maximum number of connected peers per torrent 18Number of upload slots per torrent 4Maximum number of active torrents 6Maximum number of active downloads 2I've read the FAQ, disabled UPnP and NAT-PMP port mapping, disabled peer IP resolution and modified the following settings:bt.connect_speed 10gui.graphic_progress falsegui.update_rate 30000 net.max_halfopen 4This seems to have resolved the issue at least as far as I can tell for the moment.

Switeck Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I still have one computer that uses Win 98SE, and it can run uTorrent v1.8.4 ok with 90 connections max -- which I easily reach while downloading some torrents.I have DHT disabled and bt.connect_speed set to 1-4 though...

the fifth horseman Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Looks like I was too optimistic. The client crashed sometime on Sunday, which I found out just now. The logger tab contained several instances of "WSAEnumNetworkEvents error (1784)" . I'll see if disabling DHT and lowering bt.connect_speed some more will help.
