uTorrent crashing

Hello

Ive been using uTorrrent for several years now without any issues until now, im using BT Infinity and have been getting very good speeds with uTorrent.

Lately though when downloading using uTorrent, my connection has been crashing completely, the torrents start to drop to 0, and then the connection disconnects and crashes my internet connection?

Ive turned off upnp to see if this would help, though im completely clueless on how to try and fix this, im using the latest uTorrent 3.2.2, im going to try some older versions as well.

What im wondering is uTorrent has always been fine with my BT Infinity connection, so im wondering if this is a issue with my connection or uTorrent?

I get no other disconnects when playing games online and browsing.

Has anyone else had a similar issue?

Which router are you using?

Might not like torrents, some are crap with torrents.

Using the Home hub 3 never had any issues in 6 months until now.

uTorrent is only the application... The fact that it is almost certianly P2P traffic that is going through it means like me(On BT Infinity 2) during peak times 4pm-11pm Mon-Fri, 9am-11pm Sat-Sun I believe, the speeds are beyond pants, even if it is genuine legal traffic

uTorrent can be easily configured to get full speeds on Infinity 24/7, im getting dl's of around 75 meg, if you use uTorrent at default settings yes you will get speeds of around 5.0kbs or similar

What BT Infinity package are you on?

Unlimited, option 2 i believe, speeds upto 75 megs.

Even if i was on a lower speed / download package, i highly doubt this would cause internet disconnections when using uTorrent

Not meaning to hi-jack...

Can the same be said of V.Media hubs? - I'm getting like 1.0Mb/s at best...

Yes, not sure if i can post here on how to configure uTorrent, google will help you though.

Post screenshots of all the uTorrent settings.

Have you run the built-in setup guide?

Ive just ran the speed test setup:

Screenshots, are we allowed to post these?

Try changing global maximum number of connections & maximum number of connected peers to torrent to 25. You should also port forward.

Thanks for the tips, ill try those settings.
