SidianMSJones Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Does that mean it's timing out? The dl rates are awesome then they just bottom out to zero and start climbing again slowly. I've searched for answers all over. What can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawin45 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 there are many varaiables about this eather you're using the net when you're downloading something or the torrent is busy which means there are many leachers but a small number os seeders, or the torrent has a low health or it might just stop from downloading which means it's dead...

It's not ONE torrent that does it. Like 5 at a time, all at once do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluelos Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Are you connecting through a router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidianMSJones Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 I am. I have this Linksys deal that appearantly hates p2p things. And I went through the whole ordeal of changing its firmware to that thorbis stuff or whatever it's called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidianMSJones Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 Could the ISP have anything to do with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluelos Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Your symptoms do sound like classic router problems. If you can, try a temporary connection without the router, connecting directly to the modem, and see if the problem goes away. If that's it, replacement routers are pretty cheap, so it's not worth fighting with that one. You can also maybe swap with somebody else. There's nothing wrong with the router as such, just not for bittorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcuserbc Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I suspect you are letting probably your upload rate (as it typically is the limiting and vastly lower of the two) get up way too close to your physical maximum and then your individual peers connections all lose packets or time out and you experience the crash and burn and slow recovery you describe. In Preferences, set your Global Maximum Upload Rate at a rate that is 80 or even 70% of your real max. You may need to experiment, and then even cut it a tad lower as your ISP's random other traffic may impact your optimum smooth-sailing setting. Theree various tune and adjustment things here somewhere someone surely will know about and point you to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
