Hardware: Asus P5Q Pro and Telewell TW-EA501 v3 Software: Vista Ultimate 64bit SP1 While torrenting, my Vista 'puter gets cut off from the rest of the world. Nothing gets out of it or in it. I've done the TCP patch with 1M allowed half-open connections but it still happens. Drivers are up-to-date too so that should not be the problem. [Edit]Other machines have no problems using the network.[/Edit]
HOLY HOLE 1,000,000 simultaneous connections? That if something will cause serious buffer overflows! Definitely reduce it to 50 or 100, that will be more than enough for anyone.
Limit your upload speed to like 5kb/sec. See if that helps. If som raise it to just below the point where things start to cut out.
Already did, no cake. Client limits total connections to 200 per torrent. Usually only one or two are dling.
It will still connect to a ridiculous amount of peers if it can, it just won't be sending data through the tubes at/from them. Seriously, dial back the amount of connections. Also, check the port forwarding of your router. And set it to reserve an IP address for your PC, e.g., mine is always at 192.168.0.8, it helps with the port forwarding. Also, mine is set to max total connections at 200. Only max of 45 per torrent. Also, my TC-PIP reg entry is patched to 50K entries. And see here for a semi-tutorial.
Already did. TCP limited to 50k (though 1M never caused any problems ). Static IPs are a must for me and ports are forwarded correctly. The problem has not happened any more so guess it is sorted.
