View Full Version : Packet/Traffic Shaping?
Hi, My connection keeps getting killed when downloading stuff - any one else having this problem?
Basically when it happens I have to switch the modem off for about 5 minutes. Never happened when I was on 4mbps, only once I started PAYING more money for the 10mbps service...
:welcome: to the forum.
Does this just happen with P2P (Shareaza, Gnutella, eDonkey, LimeWire, BitTorrent, etc), or all downloading (websites)?
If its just P2P as I suspect, you connection is just saturated. Try capping the upload speed to a lower amount , and reducing the amount of connections allowed in your P2P client.
Does it die off after a certain amount of data downloaded or is it after random lengths of time/ data?
it is mainly when using bit torrent - sometimes wish i hadn't upgraded...
It happens after I get about 250mb of the download, or about 5 minutes ish
What settings are you using?
using azureus, and the following settings:
max connections per torrent: 20
max global connections: 30
max global download speed: unlimited
and also encrypted all traffic...
What upload are you allowing?
What happens if you run a lower upload?

for a basic calculator for your settings.
tbh i would rather use something like Bit Tornado, but whenever i do it happens straight away pretty much!
have just adjusted the upload, will see what it does...
