My network still says it's active, but I can't connect to anything, have no download or upload rate, and programs like AIM and Skype disconnect. So basically, my computer thinks I have internet, but I don't. I've tried limiting my download and upload rates with BitTorrent, and that only seemed to help a tiny bit, but my internet still goes down the shitter. Any ideas? Oh, and I have Comcast. I'm told that's the problem. ETT?  | ||

So you can somewhat browse websites, stay connected to AIM, etc. when you rate limit? You might want to try limiting the number of connections your BitTorrent client uses to somewhere around 50 per torrent and see if that helps. I have Comcast and have never had problems with BT. | ||

Nope. Literally, everything craps out. AIM, Skype, and GMail Notifier all disconnect. BitTorrent slows to a crawl, and eventually the upload and download rates hit zero. My network icon on my taskbar still says I'm connected to the internet, but Firefox can't go anywhere; it will either time out or immediately say there's a problem with my network. | ||

microtorrent (aka utorrent) works well for me. Why don't you ask 4chan for help again? | ||

I don't know why that happens, but everyone I know personally has told me using torrents rapes their connection. I just turn it on to download overnight; I won't have it on while I'm gaming or using the internet.

By now, BitTorrent would have screwed something up. | ||

So now I only use uTorrent and only use it in the evenings when I go to bed and it seems to work.. and I have to limit dl at 360kbs as anything over/unlimited goes too fast for my shitty modem to handle. I've heard replacing it fixes this problem, but I have a shitty computer anyway so i might as well wait and buy everything new. | ||

Certain programs like utorrent have build in bandwidth throttle but they are not as good as QoS. | ||

Have a second laptop with same OS and service pack (WindowsXP Pro SP3) where I installed Vuse as well and that works like a charm. Downloaded very fast using the default settings of vuse. I can only conclude the problem is not my router/modem nor anything in the bittorrent clients. Must be a combination of software that causes this but the culprit is probably hard to find. | ||

I've used Azureus (2.5), Halite, and uTorrent (1.6) for clients.... no problems at all. Some google searches brought me some (unconfirmed) solutions: 1. Limit your download/upload speeds/maximum peer connections 2. Change the listening port on your BT client 3. http://www.lvllord.de/?lang=en&url=news - Apply this patch to increase the number of half-open connections (Some people even say to decrease half-open connections. Newer BT clients include this option right off the bat, so try it out) 4. Disabling IP Resolving in your BT client 5. Disabling DHT in your BT client http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992 - 2nd post in this topic has some more suggestions | ||
