Utorrent stops downloading/uploading when left overnight

Adam18290 · 12 Jul 2008 at 09:04

When I'm using the PC and I have utorrent running there are no issues and utorrent will continue to download/upload so long as I'm at the computer. However when left overnight I come back in the morning to find that the modem needs restarting as both utorrent is not downloading/uploading and I cannot browse the internet. Also judging by how much I have downloaded/uploaded I'd say it runs for about 40 minutes if that. Its not a case of there aren't enough seeds as the whole modem needs restarting. Whats weird is that so long as I am at the PC utorrent will continue to do its thing and have no problems whatsoever but when I'm away from the PC it will just crash the modem/internet.

Any ideas

PC is going into standy and shutting off net?

Options>Preferences>Downloads>Other Settings>Tick "Prevent standby if there are active torrents"

That should do it i think.

Already is ticked I'm afraid.

Are you sure some power saving options on the PC aren't kicking in, used to get something similar on my laptop and since changing the settings to permanently on have never seen the problem.

Yea its on "Always On" - and ive stopped the screen saver etc

I've had the same problem in the past.
My solution was to upgrade the firmware on the router (or buy a whole new router all together). Apparently, the traffic that was being received was 'flooding' the router and the connection to the Internet, therefore, the connection was lost.

If that's not the case, have you got the scheduler enabled (found under Preferences)?

Firmware is up to date.

Scheduler is not enabled atm, should I?
