swade Posted April 21, 2006 Report Posted April 21, 2006 I have the belkin pre n router. When the router is disconnected everthing is fine, but when i hook up the router all other internet traffic stops when utorrent starts any torrent activity. Could somebody please give me a list of things to try? Thank you.Are any other pre n owners having problems?
Ultima Posted April 21, 2006 Report Posted April 21, 2006 Disable DHT, disable UPnP, make sure you forwarded your ports manually.
NaraJin Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 I've had a similar problem. Whenever I use BT, my internet cxn goes down after some time. Ive been using it for several years and it never happened before. It seems to have started happening after changing routers. I read limiting the # of cxns is the key. What is a good limit generally? I heard 253 is bot belkins routers. I have an d-link524 btw.
frantik Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Read the sticky.which sticky?i'm having the same problem.. i start up utorrent, then a few minutes later i cannot surf the web. clicking links doesn't even give me a time out error, it just seems like firefox doesn't even try to go to them. when i close utorrent the problem goes away immediately. i use other torrent clients with similar connection settings without problems :\[edit: i reduced global and per torrent connections and things seem to have improved ][edit2: over time the problem comes back though.. this time it seems due to lack of memory.. utorrent is taking up waaaay to much memory]
Firon Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 there's a sticky in this subforum about the belkin routers, and the dlink routers.And if it's using too much memory, you didn't read the FAQ.
frantik Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 the only mention of memory is see in the faq is in reference to an nvidia firewall, which i don't have. memory is also mentioned in reference to "diskio.flush_files" which is set to true.I don't have a router.. i'm connected directly via an effecient networks dsl modem. fwiw im running utorrent on win98 if i leave utorrent running for a few hours eventually my available memory will go down to 0, and I have to reboot to get the memory back.
Firon Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 You must not use more than 100 connections on Windows 98. Make sure you remove any software firewalls, and check to see any antivirus is screwing things up. 98 also suffers from severe memory leaks.
frantik Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 I have connections set to 50 global and 20 local. i'm not running a firewall or AVi can run 98 for days without losing significant amounts of memory but an hour after starting utorrent available memory drops from 350mb to 50. i left utorrent running overnight and when i got up there was 0 available.[edit: well it looks like this happens with every torrent client, though not nearly as quickly.. hopefully ill get my xp machine working soon doh]
NaraJin Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 hmm...i got the firmware upgrade for d-link eventhough the 524 wasnt listed as one of the d-links with problems. and i even limited the global connections to 250, a number which i got from the belkin sticky, since there was no recommended number for d-link. and it still messed up my internet after leaving it overnight. i can't connect to any webpage and have to restart. any suggestions on fixing this? thanks. btw, limiting global connections lessens the ppl in ur swarm, so how bad does that slow down your download?
Switeck Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Even if you limit connections per torrent to 20, you'd still probably get 50-150% of your upload speed returned to you as download speed. So if you're uploading at 10 KB/sec, you'd be getting probably 5-15 KB/sec back as download speed...for decently-seeded torrents.
zoozooka Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 Im using belkin 7230-4 version 6002, and suffering from the browser connectivity problem, too.I've seen many threads regarding the problem between utorrent and belkin.I'm not sure what cause the problem, but limiting peer connection and upload speed don't solve the problem.I was using bitcomet and had always been setting upload at 38KB/s and never suffer this browser connectivity issue. My max up speed is 42-44KB/s.I love utorrent, but I had to switch back to bitcomet for this problem.
zoozooka Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 I believe this is a solution for the problem between utorrent and belkinpatch the TCPIP.sys to max the number of half-open TCP/IP with http://www.lvllord.de/?lang=en&url=downloadsbrowser works smoothly after patchedgood luck
zoozooka Posted July 29, 2006 Report Posted July 29, 2006 After days of testing and toying around, patching the TCPIP.sys doesnt solve the HTTP time-out. Limiting the upload slots to no more than 4, and uncheck "use additional uplaod slots if upload speed <90%" does seem to be able to fix the problem.There is a little something wrong with utorrent itself. Quite sure.
