Downloads Stop

BitComet BitComet General Discussion

Hi-thanks for help

I am running 1.28 (same on 1.27) 64 bit on win7-computer is one of four on home network with Netgear 3700 router-Norton Security Pack. cable modem is ultrra high speed 50MB/sec download.

After about 15 minutes, downloads stop and indicator button goes gray on all unfinished downloads. I can select them and restart and downloads continue for about another 15t minutesw. Did not have this problem with previous versions of BitComet-like the batch download feature

Thanks

Are we talking about bittorrent tasks, or http/ftp tasks that stop like this?

Hi;

Sorry-bit torrent tasks

If you downgrade to a previously-working version of BC, do the problems go away?

(IOW, is it the new version of BC causing this, or did something else on your system change, so that no version of BC works now?)

Hi

The versions prior to 1.27 worked fine-both 1.27 and 1.28 had this problem on the win7 64 bit system-all OK on win xp puter

I can confirm that I don’t have this problem using 1.27 or 1.28 on windows Seven x64.

Also, you say that versions 1.26 and prior “worked” fine, but what Kluelos asked is do they “work” (present tense, not past).

Please fully shut down bitcomet and download and extract the “.zip” version of bitcomet 1.26 (or prior), the run it and see if it works without this problem.

I suspect it’s your router that’s unable to handle the many connections that bittorrent uses, in which case it “should” effect all versions.

Also note that your XP computer will limit your tcp connection attempts to 10per second, so your router may be better at handling them at that rate. This would explain why you don’t see this behavior on your winXP computer.

Another test you could do would be to bypass your router and connect direct to your modem and see if you still experience this behavior.

his random mention of the “batch download” feature made me suspect he was running http tasks, in which case the remote server could be shutting down the progress if it doesn’t like multiple connections. I see this a lot.

I agree, that sounds like exactly what’s happening.
