sexyleeann Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Hi, i have been using bitcomet 0.66 for quite some time... and recently i realised that.... whenever bitcomet is on, i can't surf internet using internet explorer. but if it's not on, IE can work very fast and very well. Is there any solution to this problem? To have Bitcomet running without jeopardising my IE performance? Yours truly, SexyLeeAnn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexyleeann Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 Have you limited your upload speed? Yeah! it's only global speed 3kb/s! i have checked for spyware and virus.... nothing... I have even applied the tcpip patch for event 4266! but still.... this problem has never happened before until recently..... and this is really irritating me! it's like i have to make a choice between running bitcomet or to surf internet! HELP ME!!!! PLEASE!!! yours truly, sexyleeann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Have you tried another browser? I personally don't like to use I.E. as they collect your browsing history to report to microsoft. I prefer firefox, but opra is quite good too. you can get firefox here... http://www.mozilla.com/ Once you get used to it, and install necessary plugins, you will agree that its much easier and faster then IE. It is also much better at keeping spyware out of your system. As for bit comet being the cause, I can't imagine how this is possible, but you can download bit comet again and reinstall, but I suggest you not move to a newer version until this problem is resolved (unless it is a known problem that is resolved in a new version) Suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluelos Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 It sounds like you should disregard what you've done before, and go over the settings guide checking everything. When you get to the part that mentions speed settings and tests, do the tests and adjust your settings, even if you think you've already done that. Don't try to cherry-pick the guide, though, go through all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi.... i have gone over the settings guide... and... even my firefox also has the same problems... could it be some trojan that's activated when Bitcomet is on? i have done all i could! what can i do? yours truly, sexyleeann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexyleeann Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 I just checked again... it's Bitcomet 0.61 not 0.66. Pls tell me whether i should re-install Bitcomet? yours truly, sexyleeann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partin Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I seem to have the same problem. When bitcomet is running, it's a h*** to use other internet applications. For me, it's just the DNS which becomes extremly slow. After getting the ip, it all seems to be doing fine (Using the settings fromt he settings-guide, v 0.72.

The UnUsual Suspect Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I STRONGLY suggest you NOT use version .72 or .71. Version .70 is the latest stable release. If you have trouble getting it from our servers, I posted a link to megaupload.com (pinned in support forum) Suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is.... my listening port is 50216 there are a huge number of random ports opened besides 50216 what are all the other ports for? Could i be under a Dos Attack? Could I have a virus which i can't detect? I just don't understand.... please help me analyse.... I know port 80 are https... but what are the other ports doing? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Private IP :Port #Pseudo Port Peer IP :Port Ifno Status

sexyleeann Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Okays... I just changed my IP address.... and... i changed my listening port to 51602 and i am just wondering.... if..... the listening port is used for downloading only? or uploading too... cos.... I have a huge amount of random ports opened... which i don't understand... what are they for... I know port 80 is for HTTP... but what are the others doing? Could i be under some Dos Attacks? or... I have a trojan or virus undetected? I already did hijack this... most of my processes are fine... run so many anti virus scans.... still the same.... no virus found... why are there so many ports directed at my IP address? What are they? HELP ME!!!

sexyleeann Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Okays... I just open the TCPview! and a lot of random ports are opened by Bitcomet! although I have already set a listening port for Bitcomet already... IT IS OPENING other ports to connect to other people! is THIS NORMAL? i thought pple say... Bitcomet only uses 1 listening port for both uploading and downloading? WHAT IS GOING ON? I AM USING BITCOMET V0.61, AND I DON'T WANT TO RISK INSTALLING AN UNSTABLE VERSION! PLEASE HELP ME! YOURS TRULY, SEXYLEEANN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I'm not the best one to analyse this, but I think this is both your incoming and outgoing connections, which will be on random ports, but I suggest you get peer guardian (if you don't have it already) it will separate the inbound and outbound connections, and of course block connections from those nasty anti p2p groups and such.

Yes, your listening port is only for incoming connections. Your client uses others for out going connections, this is normal. As for your bit comet version, I would recommend you update to at least version .64, or our latest "stable" version .70. Suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UnUsual Suspect Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 here is the link to peer guardian... http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/ peer guardian two, that is the current version. They do have a beta version, but stick with this one. I suggest you use their lists for p2p, spyware, and perhaps governments as well (depending on your local laws and/or level of paranoia) :P I also suggest you select to allow http, or it will block you from alot of browsing sites like microsoft, record companies, movies sites and such. Thre should be no need to block http anyway. Suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexyleeann Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Hi my internet has been running pretty okay so far... and bitcomet is downloading 44 kb/s! while my surfing speed is fast and back to when it previously was... what i did was... - change router port to which my LAN cable connects to the router - unbent the cable towards the end of the cable. it was like running in a loop before connecting to the router at its end... so now it's a curve, not a circle bent anymore... - change my IP address, by changing the DHCP range on the router... what i observed was - the ISP server was temporarily down... this morning after i did all the above... - and mins later... it was restarted on the ISP side... and I got a renewed connection ever since. I am just wondering if the bent in the LAN cable is affecting the whole thing from the start? I mean... it's just a very tight circle loop... which is situated just at the end of the cable. and my cable is about 15 m long. does it affect my connection speed? but out of a sudden.... the internet is running smooth... fast and bitcomet is on while my surfing speed is good. I have been online for about 4 hrs now. usually it takes about 6 hrs... before my browser is experiencing slow speed again... i have listed the following factors which could affect my incident... pls help me analyse their possibilities so i know when, what, how to avoid, prevent, and anticipate... #1 - ISP's provided connection was really slower than before, when all the problems started. #2 - A sharp bent on my 15 m LAN cable caused all the slow connections and drop offs... and thus limited the amount of bandwidth I have when using bitcomet and internet surfing at the same time... #3 - A Dos Attack was attacking my previous IP address. After changing IP address, the DOs attack stops, so i have more bandwidth to resume my previous activities. These are all I can think of... what about you guys? Yours truly, SexyLeeAnn I am crossing my fingers now... and hope forever and ever the connection is fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexyleeann Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 Now... just after i posted the previous msg... it's beginning to slow down..... so all i have done is NOT helping!!!! i so wanna cry now! i can't hardly access my router now...

K-Dub Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Try using the Windows Live OneCare safety scanner, and have it check for open ports. This should let you close up all of the unused ports that have been left over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluelos Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 It's really not a good idea to use tools like that without spending some time understanding what you're doing. They will lead you to all sorts of wrong conclusions, like being under a DOS attack. Your first step would be to spend some time studying TCP and how it works. When you know that, you'll be able to interpret what the tools are telling you. Cable connections are digital. That means they either work at full speed or don't work at all: they don't slow down like a kinked garden hose. Changing the DHCP range is very tangenital to the purpose. Set the range to include only as many DHCP connections as you think you might reasonably need in the future. Then set your computer's IP address to a fixed value outside of that range, but still within the router's routable range. Ex: DHCP Start: 192.168.2.2 DHCP End: 192.168.2.4 OR DHCP Range: 3 Set your computer IP to: 192.168.2.7 Use this fixed IP address to forward your BC listen port on your router. Set the rule to allow both TCP and UDP, or "ANY". If you must choose one or the other, make two rules, one for each, same IP. You are not under a DOS attack, and if you were, that wouldn't have helped. The internet at large cannot detect your computer. They detect only the router, nothing behind it. Such an attack would have to be directed at the router, so changing subnet IP's would not affect that at all. From your previous study of TCP, you understand that packets must be ACK'd, which takes upstream bandwidth, in addition to whatever Bitcomet is uploading. It's very easy to choke the upstream pipe with more data than it can handle, since it's a lot smaller than the downstream pipe. If you allow this to happen, bittorrent actually starts interfering with itself -- let alone any other poor app trying to use the connection. So limit your upstream bandwidth to 80% of capacity, as directed in the settings guide, and you should be able to netsurf while downloading.

waldgeist Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I've got the same problem -- as soon as I start BitComet 0.70, my internet connection for other programs like browsers slows down dramatically. I also experienced that sometimes everything works fine, but some minutes later everythings slows down again. Throtteling down BitComet to some kB for uploads does not help. Could there be a problem with DNS requests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluelos Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 If you are having a DNS problem, it would manifest with BitComet and your browser frequently reporting "site not found" or "host unreachable". It would give you an error, not a slowdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluelessaboutthis Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Hi, I'm new, and I'm having just the same problem as the OP. When i'm d/l torrents using BitComet, I cant surf the WWW at all. My browser (be it IE, Opera, or Firefox) just cant open ANY site. I got the problem solved by calling my ISP and asked them to clear the connection (I'm on cable btw). But right now, I am SCARED to death of even opening BitComet. Coz as soon as I open BitComet, all the pages in my browser just stop loading :angry: I'm confused now.. please help..

kluelos Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Limit your global maximum upload speed. See the settings guide for instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
