GTHK Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Your wireless disconnects itself! Or your modem. To pinpoint the cause you'll have to explain the behavior and what hardware you have in greater detail. Bad settings can exacerbate the issue: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 i have no problems when downloading via ethernet cable.What wireless adapter is in your computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGer Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Its built in wireless adaptor,and its an Intel® WiFi Link 5100 AGNif thats any help, personally i dont think it has anything to do with the adaptor i think it has something more to do with my network settings, which are set up correctly, however i dont think they're set up specifically for downloading with so many peer connections i usually have about a hundred peers per torrent but i only download 1 at a time.

Firon Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Wireless cards are notoriously unreliable with torrents because they can't handle the connection load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
