ntl dissconnects with bittorrent

snarloas1982 · 17 Apr 2006 at 17:10

my ntl line constantly dissconnects when i use my modem through the router when using bittorrrent. But when the modem is directly connected to the pc it works fine.

could anyone tell me how to correct my problem....like new router or a software configuration i need to use

Reduce the number of connections your torrent client's set to use.

by how much would you reckon mate, i reduced it to about 200 and it still happened

forword the port on your router maybe

Well if the port bittorrrent is using has been forward and its not working then it could be the cheap router

is it better to set your computer to a static ip or dhcp

By enough to stop your router crashing?

no joy had it down to just 30 connections and it still happened, think i need a better router and recommendations??

Would using a different client make a difference?

no mate utorrent seems to be the most stable tho. had a look on chetnet which is the un-official ntl forum run by thier staff, its seems that its not a unheard of issue

If your router is wireless and your encrypting then the CPU may well me near maxing out.

Also are you reducing incoming or outgoing connections? if it's outgoing connections that are crashing the router then you may want to reduce those too

data flows both ways on bittorrent.

update.... i maxed out my other pc which is a amd setup, its been maxed out on the router for about 4 hours and it hasnt dropped once, so i have now updated the driver on the network driver which is in the intel pc, let you know how i get on, if that fails ill change the wire....

cheers for your posts guys
