multimolti Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Hi!I downloaded the latest beta of µTorrent because I read that it has a cool new protocol allowing it to download without jamming the internet and this making it easier for ISPs.Because I have a quite slow internet connection (DSL 4000, 500KB/s down) I chose to give it a try and was hoping for a better performance. My down/upload rates were set to 300/30 with the old version, but as soon as I started the new one, I couldn't connect to the internet at all. GMail failed, Facebook couldn't reload, my ICQ and MSN went offline and searching Google took around 45 seconds. But µTorrent continued to download with fine 300KB/s as I told it to. Thus I decreased upload to 15KB/s, but it still went to around 35, setting it even lower didn't help as well.Immediately in the second I close µTorrent 2.0, all my websites load again, MSN reconnects, etc...Why is this happening? I thought the new version is supposed to easy internet traffic, not jam the connection completely!!!Downgraded to 1.8.5 again, now I can at least download/seed torrents AND surf the internet at the same time.

Switeck Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Your networking probably cannot handle mass UDP packets which v2.x generates with its uTP and Teredo/IPv6 peer+seed connections. In short, your equipment's broke.You can disable all the new features by following the slow speed section of 1st link in my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multimolti Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Okay, so if my equipment is the problem, which part of it will it be? My Windows 7 will be able to handle it, as well as my Gigabyte MA790XT mainboard, since both are quite new. But my internet connection is created by connecting two routers, one is directly connected to the net and broadcasting WiFi, the other one is repeating WiFi and my computer is connected via cable to the repeater.So will the routers cause the problem? Or the ISP itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Newness is no guarantee. Bleeding edge can be pretty unstable stuff.I don't know what routers you've got, but either one or both could be trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multimolti Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 They're both quite old, the one my computer is connected to is a Siemens Gigaset SX541, I've got it for around 6 years, the other one is a T-Com Speedport W 500V, around 4 years old.

Switeck Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'd be shocked if either of those could sustain 100 connections at once via wireless without problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multimolti Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 So you think it's rather my WiFi than my internet connection that's causing the trouble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Probably, though you haven't told me enough about your uTorrent settings to eliminate internet connection overloads. Upload-induced overloads are quite common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razormoon Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I just installed beta 2 and having similar issues. Nothing has been done to utorrents default setting. It is killing my internet connection (including it's own) every few minutes with reboot as only remedy. Went back to 1.8.5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 1st (slow speed sections) AND 2nd links in my signature.The default settings are unsuited for generally everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
