The problem is with every torrent on both computer
-
So here’s the problem. Whenever i try to download a torrent on bitcommet it starts downloading reaches a fast download speed but then drops down all the way to 0kb/s upload and download speeds. When this happens the internet on my web browser also doesn’t work and my internet connection icon on the bottom right of the screen get’s a attention sign on it (yellow triangle with “!” in the middle). A few seconds later the internet reconnects and starts doing this all over. I had bitcommet for a long time and downloaded alot of torrents and this never used to happen, its a new problem. The same thing happens on both computer (connected wirelessly and through a cable). I’ve also tried limiting my upload speed to 40kb/s but that didnt do anything. Any help would be very appreciated! This problem makes downloading any torrent impossible as it spends more time reconnecting then downloading 
Exactly what was changed when this new problem appeared?
My first thought would be either a really horrible router, or perhaps defective, but if you made any change to anything when this happened, then we need to know this info. If the problem suddenly appeared, then you most likely have a problem with your hardware or internet connection.
It may seem like bitcomet is causing the problem, but what bitcomet is doing is opening a large number of connections, making your router and internet connection work harder, which shouldn’t be a problem, but the failure isn’t likely with bitcomet.
One simple thing you should always do if you have connection issues is unplug all your hardware for at least 30 seconds, then restart everything and see if the problem still exists. If it does, a call to your isp to test your connection might not be a bad idea.
Well i just installed a different client for downloading torrents to see if thats the problem and the same thing keeps happening. Any ideas what it might be if its not bitcommet because i dont remember ever chaning any of my internet settings.
The usual cause of this behavior is setting your client not to upload, or to upload at minimum bandwidth. What happens is that everyone else in the swarm learns that you are an undesirable connection, so they find someone else. Eventually, you run out of peers who haven’t tried you, and no one in the swarm is willing to give you anything more. Bittorrent self-enforces sharing.
Well TUUS suggested already to you that the culprit may be your router.
I think that the sensible choice would be to take the router out of the loop and see how any of your PCs behaves only with the modem. Don’t you think?
Of course, checking that what kluelos said isn’t your case, goes without saying. If that IS your case, then you shouldn’t do anything else before you remedy that situation.
hi i get exactly the same problem!!!used to use bit comet fine then had problems with virgin media router so they replaced it with a new 1.now bit comet completely crashes my internet!is it just a crap router or could it be the settings??or could it be something else alltogetha??please help anyone!!its so frustrating!!
Then you should try exactly the same suggested solutions, n’cest pas?
I also have this problem and am with Virgin Media in the UK, would it be possible that the ISP is disconnecting the Net connection when they detect the mass of connections that Bitcomet creates when starting up? As they know that it’s a bandwidth hog which may have detrimental effects to their “High Speed” cable network.
Bitcomet is not a bandwidth hog when properly configured, and it is entirely up to the service provider to see that you cannot take more bandwidth than you’re paying for – just as it is their responsibility to deliver the bandwidth that you did pay for, regardless of how you choose to use it.
This invented disconnection scheme would not have the effect described. If your client were disconnected, it would be disconnected and it would show that it had no connections. That isn’t what you say is happening.
By the way, “completely crashes my internets” conveys absolutely no information. “Me too” doesn’t save you anything here.
You don’t understand the problem I’m afraid! And you clearly do not understand how ISPs manage their traffic either. That is all!
And for your information, I did try all the suggested remedies BEFORE even coming here!
a**
bitcomet uninstalled and will never use again because of the contempt displayed by bitcomet tech support. You really know how to talk to people!
And what are you so worked up for?
The man was simply pointing some practical facts. I can’t see which part of the post you find offending or contemptuous.
And his remark about none of the subsequent posters to the first, not providing any of the data required (like the first did) still stands.
If you have a similar problem it doesn’t mean that you also have an identical setup.
BTW, there is a dedicated Wiki FAQ topic on a similar issue: When BitComet is running my router/modem reboots itself or freezes. Why is this happening and what can I do to fix this?
But of course we can’t tell if this is your case or that of the user above you, since both of you provided nil info on your hardware and software setup. And that request is formulated repeatedly both in the Forum Rules to which you agreed to abide when you signed up and all over the forum, in the “Read This Before Posting” announcements.
Disregarding all those express requests is pretty contemptuous actually and you didn’t see us jumping on top of your head for that.
Besides, all moderators on the forum are volunteers which donate for free what little time they have, trying to help other BitComet users.
Therefore, a rude attitude towards the staff of the forum won’t be tolerated here. So, unless you have anything else to say that might be constructive, don’t bother to come back.

I think I feel a little bit hurt, if you think that’s the best I could do for contempt …
