Disconnection Problem

[MallKid]

I have been using utorrent for well over two years now, and I never had connection problems with it, up until the past six or so months. No matter what speed I download at I end up losing connection within a couple of hours, or more often several minutes. I've read the faq, I've followed steps in troubleshooting, I've been to websites that give tips and instructions on how to fix this, but the problem persists. Here's the changes I made that I remember:

Net.max_halfopen

bt.connect_speed

Global Maximum number of connections

Current port (I never found a working port)

Max upload

Global max number of connections (again)

Max number of connected peers per torrent

Number of upload slots per torrent

It's been driving me crazy trying to figure out what the problem is, and I'm near wit's end. Please, if anyone has information on how I can fix this, let me know. Unfortunately I'm not too computer savvy, so I need more explanation than some people, so I hope someone will be kind enough to help me. If anyone redirects me to another page, especially the faq, please specify which section pertains to me, if you don't mind. Hope to get help soon!

Here's the list of what I've changed and their current settings:

net.max_halfopen: 4

bt.connect_speed: 4

IP resolving: Disabled (Not sure if I did this correctly)

DHT Network: Disabled

DHT for new torrents: Disabled

UPnP: Disabled

NAT-PMP: Disabled

peer.resolve_country: Disabled

Maximum global number of connections: 150

Maximum number of connected peers per torrent: 80

bt.transp_disposition: 5 (I can't figure out how to disable this)

If there's any other information needed, I'll be glad to provide it. Hope I'm not a nuisance. I feel kind of out of place considering I have no idea what any of these settings mean or what they affect. But, as long as I can get it to work I'll be happy!

What version are you running and does the problem go away if you disable uTP (bandwidth management)?

[MallKid]

I'm running version 2.0.2. I didn't find uTP, but I have "Enable bandwidth management" unchecked in Preferences -> bitTorrent. But the problem still persists.

It could be your router, modem, or software firewall to blame.

"IP resolving: Disabled (Not sure if I did this correctly)"

Right-click in the Peers window/tab at bottom once you've selected a torrent from top.

A menu should pop up and Resolve IPs is one of the options. Make sure there's no check next to it.
