Modem connection stops when using bittorent

[vis0nz]

Any one have any suggestions as to why anytime I download with a bittorent client my internet / network connection dies. The only way to fix this is to unplug the power to the cable modem & allow it to reset. I've had this issue for a long while, and have no knowledge of networking or p2p? sharing. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

There being no obvious explanation for this would suggest to me that you have rubbish bit torrent client software (or your computer has a moral objection to file sharing!) Try a different one!

you could have your download/upload limit set too high for your connection

naa, i had teh same problem..hehe
use u torrent 1.8.4 or lower ;)
and search for an firmware update for the router. my problem was that when i had tooo much connections the router just gave up and freezed or something..
after the update the router worked fine..

let me guess...u have a Netgear router?

i would help u more and give u tips but i need to know what OS u are using..so i can write down whats best..

greetings ViruS

Too many connections is what i've been hearing. But I dont know how to change it, I def. am using a Netgear router, model WPN824v3. Win7Home Premo

Nah, no firmware update. Take your time on the tut, I've been dealing with this for a while, so nothings new. Thanks though.

In that case I apologise to your torrent software! What I should have said ... (I'm sure you can fill in the rest of this sentence)! lmao

hy,


here i found a Firmware update..

http://www.netgear.de/de/Support/downlo ... l&id=12462 (http://www.netgear.de/de/Support/download.html?func=Detail&id=12462)

dunno if you allready have it..
For the other things, if the router cant handle much connections, there is notz much u can do, better of with buying a decent one..

So, normaly i use these settings in u torrent...

now, here it depents on what lets say server or tracker u are using..if u use Open ones then u should turn some stuff on like:
DHT, peer discovery and peer exchange..u also could try to enable ipv6/teredo..
but i dont use this...also when u use open tracker u should disable Protocol Encryption..

http://www.abload.de/img/unbenanntxwbd.png

hals open max limit is set here to 50, it gives me better performance, but since your router has Probs u might wanna test it out what suits u best, starting from 4 ....

i use Utorrent 1.8.4 but 1.6 is also very good...the newer ones didnt suite me good...

heres also good info:

http://www.bootstrike.com/Articles/BitTorrentGuide/

very informative, but not good for PRIVATE TRAckers....and im not saying im using them or do illegal stuff..no i dont..there are trackers out there for legal purpose, like gameupdates.org, etc etc..just to clear that out..;)

ok, i hope this helps u out alil bit...and u get these probs sortet..if not, feel free to pm me and well see if its better to go out and buy a decent router (they are cheap these days..)

or if we can tweak a lil more..

_Update_
So, I didnt try the router update, but I did to all the other things you suggested, to no avail.. Either way, I got a day off from work today so I figured I would try & wire my pc directly to my cable modem. I made it farther along when I was downloading "Game-Backups that I previously uploaded" although things still went off. After re-starting my modem, I began to run again, finished 1 download & began seeding, and downloading another, then fail.

You Should open a Ports for it.
& Your internet could be crashing because there is too many p2p Clients Connecting at one time. You should also put a limit on how many p2p clients that can connect to you.

depending on your isp they may be kicking you off for using bittorrent. i know from experience comcast does it.

Hello 52642


The problem could be the number of people who take the folder, games or whatever, that you downloaded on your computer and therefore can saturate your line. Like someone said I believe (I do not recall his name over, lament:ambivalence:)

You yourself can set the number of person minimum and maximum that you allow to come to you to connect to the file, or other games.


Otherwise you can limit the passage of your line directly to your router, which would be no worse either at the same time limit from your torrent software

That is, if its helps a bit :Smile:
