Connection Problem

[grayem]

I usually tether my laptop to my HTC Desire's wi-fi hotspot, for downloading from uTorrent and have had no problems even when approaching the phone's d/l capacity (7.2Mb) but generally achieving around 600kB+/sec d/l in uTorrent, dependant on speed of available seeds/peers.

I recently had to do a factory reset on the phone which has bricked the hotspot facility and now I'm limited to using a USB(2) cable tether.

Previously I had the global connections set to 200 and d/l speed set to 0 and experienced no problems.

However, since using the USB tether uTorrent keeps crashing after only a few minutes and causing all sorts of other problems resetting my network connections.

I have now set global connections to 50 and set the d/l speed to 300 (about an hour ago) and so far everything is working o.k. with no disconnects.

I'd like to know which of these two settings is the likely culprit, I have plenty of bandwidth left but I'm not too sure about how many connections it would be best to use, 50 seems awfully low.

Open the Setup Guide, select your UPLOAD capacity and save. These settings will be your max. If you still experience problems run the guide again and select lower uploads. Also, do some test with the max download speed you can.
