recently, whenever I run a public torrent for every 30 sec or so broadband band connection just dies ( internet light stops blinking on the modem and stays like that for a second or two, it actually supposed to blink) as you can imagine it it seriously frustrating. but it never happens while I’m running a private torrent.so obiously I thought too many connections or connection request might be that cause so I changed the value of network.max_connections to 100 but even after that nothing happned. so I tried same settings in utorrent connection break out happened only thrice for the duration of 2 and half hour I’m guessing this problem is specific to bitcomet any suggestions to pinpoint the cause?and also is there any tools,scripts to log the timings of connection breakouts ?
OS :windows 7 & 8
bitcomet 1.37 (X64 & X32) zipped non-installer version
(happened in both OS and versions, in my desktop and laptop)
You can try disabling all the advanced features that bitcomet offers like LTseed, everything in the services category and options like torrent exchange etc. This should make bitcomet behave just like any other bittorrent client and reduce your router/modem overload to the same frequency you witness with your other client. You can also try adjusting some of the other connection limits, this should be helpful in diagnosing exactly what is overloading your hardware. It may not be the max number that is causing the problem it might be the rate that they are opening. If Grey Wizard happens by he may be able to offer some more suggestions as these limits were added at his suggestion to help users deal with hardware limitations. If you’re able to determine what exactly is causing your equipment to overload and reboot, you may want to check if there are any firmware updates to address this.
When in doubt, blame Long Term Seeding. It’s garbage. It will wreck latency, which it sounds like you are having issues with.

Dear curiosityGonnaKillme, you don’t seem to understand what Long Term Seeding is for or how it works. If you’re not willing to research it and learn, then please don’t spread FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt).
LTseed not only allows you to download faster, but can also make it possible to get your files from http/ftp, emule, longterm seed peers, or even bittorrent peers from different swarms, but it does require more connections so if you are having a problem with your router not being able to handle a large number of connections, it would be advisable to try disabling it as a test, but a typical user would be foolish to disable it.
Explain how LTSeeding will enable faster downloading of anything and why I would want such things if I already have 100% of the file which is when LTS kicks in. I fail to see the logic. The first thing people complain about with BC is the unauthorized use of their bandwidth while they have absolutely NO JOBS running. Therefore, you get ZERO benefit from having it enabled other than paying for upload bandwidth which you are gaining no benefit from. The only thing LTS is useful for is resurrecting DEAD torrents and making all torrent swarms include 1 extra seeder for an infinite period. As far as I can see it does absolutely nothing at all for download speed. You will get the same speed on torrents with 1 seed as you do with 100 seeds with or without it enabled. It makes absolutely ZERO impact on download. One thing it DOES excel at though, completely wasting upload bandwidth for absolutely no benefit to the person who has LTS enabled resulting in threads such as this one when someone complains about the symptoms of having LTS enabled. LTS should be disabled by default. Period. It only benefits the ORIGINAL seeders and no one else since original seeders also are usually seeding other things and have the upload bandwidth to spare. The regular Joe does not. Yet you are stealing their bandwidth under false pretenses of it “increasing download speed” which is completely false.
Show how it does this technically. As in, not just “It does this and that and whatever”. Like, actually explain how it does things technically since it’s the vaguest feature in BC as far as technical white papers are concerned from what I’ve been able to find. There are none other than marketing hype. Whitepaper link would be good. Until then, I’ll believe my own Wireshark report over anything you say. I can prove with Wireshark everything I say about LTS. I have never once seen it make a connection to something like pclinuxos.com’s mirror sites and download an ISO that I am getting via a torrent which is what you claim it can do to “increase download speed”. The only “increase” I would see is if someone ELSE has LTS enabled and I get to leech off their connection since they have absolutely no idea what LTS is doing or that its even enabled and using their bandwidth. Without the uneducated people using LTS and leaving it enabled, LTS would be pointless, and that is exactly my point. BC recommends people leave it on not because it’ll benefit them, but because without them the feature is useless. If a feature requires underhanded eye wool pulling, then it’s not a good feature to begin with and that describes LTS to a T.
As I said before, you do not understand what LTseed does, you’ve made wild assumptions about it before making any research and I’ve already posted a lot of detail about how it works and if you were to ask politely, I might be willing to spend my valuable time enlightening you, but you’re not being polite at all, in fact your posts make you seem more like a troll in my opinion and if it continues, I will put a stop to it.
If you really want to know the information is here, so read and learn… or just leave.
Oh, ok. I get it. So what you’re saying is that Wireshark is not a method of “Research”. Ok, yea I guess that makes sense… erm, it does? In what universe does that make sense? Please enlighten me. Like I said, there are NO whitepapers available on LTS from what I could find. Thus, what am I left with to do research with? Wireshark. Then I let you know I’ve done some Wiresharking and you tell me to do research? Do you not see the tail chasing you are recommending here. No one can do research without first having used Wireshark. No whitepapers will exist without it’s use unless the author does the whitepaper since they dont need Wireshark to see exactly whats happening.
If by research you mean “use google”. I think I’ll pass. The best research available is your own, IE: Wireshark. I cannot “google” what LTS is doing on my machine. I can only use something such as Wireshark. Google cant see packets going in/out of my machine, but Wireshark sure can.
Where is this Whitepaper you speak of that has in-depth technical details of what LTS is doing exactly? You say it’s here, but its certainly not in any of the stickies from what I see.
This guy is a troll and I’ve had all I can take of him
