other traffic blocked by bitcomet

[blacktomas]

hi,

can anyone help with this:

recently swiched to cable broadband with a new router. from that point whenever the bitcomet is running my internet browser/s doesn't work. shows connection timeout and i'm not able to browse/surf at all. The moment i close bitcomet browsers work perfect. before even by download speed up to 1 MB/s was all ok and able to browse internet without any probs. all the router, internet, firewall and antivirus settings looks the same as by previous router. now i'm not sure where might be a problem, either by internet provider or new router or this kind of service requires different setting than dsl.

thanks for any suggestions.

Take a look at the: BitComet Speed Guide.

This is a very common issue. It indicates that you haven't configured your client properly for your connection, so it's grabbing all of your upstream bandwidth.

Every TCP packet you get must be acknowledged. If there isn't enough upstream bandwidth left, those ACK's expire while in the queue waiting to be sent. Since you never ACK, every site resends the same packets to you, thinking you didn't get them.

See our settings guide in the Guides and Tutorials forum. There's a lot of material there, and also in the Wiki, that you may want to read through.

Thanks,

the thing is, before i didn't need to do any client configuration, speeds were set to unlimited, my IP was dynamic and all did work perfect. Do not understand why not now. However, i did try measure my speed and adjust setting in bitcomet as suggested in posted link. but didn't change the ip to static. and didnt work, any other suggestions please, thanks

For pretty much anything else, you'll need to read the "READ BEFORE POSTING" message and provide the information listed.

You said that your new connection includes a router, which means that the router imposes a firmware firewall which you must be able to get through, one way or another.

It didn't work for the simple reason that you didn't set one up.

Most home users' connections are "dynamic" (they change, whenever the ISP decides, for a variety of reasons - all without you getting any warning about it). The static IP just assures you that the "Remote" peers will be able to contact you at that specific address (one that you assign), regardless of your ISP reassigning a different IP, you rebooting your computer, your lease on your present IP expires, etc.).

If you don't set one up, your computer will no longer be where the peers found you the last time, and they won't be able to initiate a connection with you.
