Do you have gigabit networking, an ADSL modem/router, and use Bittorrent?!

My Netgear DG834G cannot handle being connected to a gigabit network when I'm using Utorrent or Azureus. It always ends up falling over and locking the connection. This has been the same with both a PCI gigabit network card, and my newer onboard Marvell and Nvidia gigabit networking on an Nforce4 board.

I just wanted to know if anyone has a successful experience with torrenting over an adsl connection with a gigabit network. If at all possible, I'd like it to be a wireless adsl modem/router.

Cheers,

Dan
 
It's unlikely that the connection being gigabit makes much odds, given it's only going to be 100Mbps between the router and your GigE switch.
It's much more likely that it's the number of connections your P2P app's opening. Reduce them (or buy a router with more memory, same difference), and it's almost certain your problems will disappear.
 
I have used my DG834G (v2) and a Netgear Gigabit NIC for over a year now - connecting at 100mbit and no line drops on my LAN.
 
What can I say, I have a DG834G v2 and have tried reducing the connections and various other settings in the Torrent client, but eventually, it always kills the router. I've tried three different gigabit connections - a Netgear PCI card, and the Nvidia and Marvell onboard ports. All gave the same results.

Do you mean 1000mbit ?

No surprises there. You could try a 100Mbps connection, and remove the GigE switch, and you'd get the same too.
If you've tried reducing the number of connections, if it's still crashing then you need to reduce them more.

I've had the connections turned down to something ridiculous like 20, and it still crashed. I've also disabled logging in the router, and that made no difference.

Basically, I've put a PCI 10/100 card in and that works just fine, but it kills my large file transfers around the LAN :(
 
I've never had a router that didn't fall over from time to time when using Bittorrent. It doesn't happen very much these days though. Mine's a Netgear DG834G as well.
 
im using a v2 DG834G with not quite the latest firmware cos it doesnt work on mine, think im on 2.10.22 connected via 10/100 to a 5 port netgear gigabit switch and from there to 2 intel pro 1000 nic's and its been working flawlessly for months with bitcomet
try that firmware m8 :confused:
 
it could be your adsl line is having problems? i mean how often does your line re-sync/ or your modem re-connect.
