jetman Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Had been using 1.8.5 and every previous version of uTorrent for at least three yearsw/o issue. Normally,. I allow uT to auto-install its own updates, including yesterday's2.0 update. I didn't change anything internal to the host system (Windows XP SP2) , the router (Belkin F5D7234-4 v3 (01)), or any browser software (Firefox-3.5.7 and IE8.0) However, immediately following the uT install, both browsers were very slow to download pages. I have multiple tabs open in each browser and with uT-2.0 running, web pages would routinely timeout and would not display.Restore uT back to version-1.8.5 and all is well again. Don't see any way to extract my uTorrent settings, but if there is a way to do so and additional info is required, please feel free to get in touch.Thanx....Jet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 1st link in my signature...uTorrent v2.0 uses uTP peers/seeds outgoing by default which can hammer weak routers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetman Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 uTorrent v2.0 uses uTP peers/seeds outgoing by default which can hammer weak routersThanx for the info. But which are the "weak" routers ? I take it you mean the consumer-class routers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Yes, most routers that cost less than 200 Euros/$250 USA dollars...may not handle mass UDP packet usage (like uTP and Teredo/IPv6 uses) nicely. The 3rd party router firmware...Tomato and dd-wrt in particular...can handle MORE, but most consumer routers have stinking tiny amounts of ram -- 16 MB or less -- and are unsuited trying to make/keep 1000+ connections at once.
