Torrent killing browsing connection?

[Shadowmeph]

I have the WRT54GL router with tomato firmaware and I don't have any problems when I am using utorrent downloading huge files and also web browsing it must be your settings or your torrent client

No worries you've definitely been a great help.
do you know if that modem compatible with Telus - theyre pretty strict with what works with their service..
and i cannot switch over to a different ISP as of now - im on a contract :(

Have you tried bridging it? i know that many of mine were 'locked' from being set to bridged but they worked when i bridged em. Infact I don't know any DSL modems that don't allow you to bridge at the drop of a hat.

God, i hate telus modems , they are Piece of F S. If you ever have a disconnect its gonna take atleast a few minutes or need a modem reset . I am current using the 2Wire that came with it and having no problem for now. maybe you should tried just using the 2wire that came with it? and set main computer to DMHZ enable?

6m/b line eh. So what are your download and upload?

[chouchou]

On speedtest i get about ~5200 KB/S down and about 1 meg up on the recommended main server
i think im going to just get the dedicateed modem and then grab a WRT54GL see how that works..
tomato firmware ftw.
thanks everyone :)

This.

You have your upload set WAY to high in utorrent which will saturate all your bandwidth.

This, even if your not maxing out your download, you are maxing out your upload. So what happens is when your web browser sends a request(uploads) to download a website(download) the ISP never gets the signal, and therefor never sends the page.

Basically, the browser can't get a word in edge wood.


Or in this case, on the truck destined for the Super-Information Highway

Win XP, as of SP2, only allows 10 connections per second to your computer (as a security precaution to slow down internet worm infections). If more than 10 people try to connect to you in a second, their connections are automatically dropped. P2P progs try to make hundreds of connections a second so it kills your entire internet traffic if this limit is not raised or removed.

Most good torrent programs will have to option to change this for you to a higher number. If yours does not do it, you can google "XP max connections" and find out how to raise the limit yourself. I think you need to be in safe mode to do it as the file is usually in use.
