I have got a big problem .I actually changed the plan from 250 to 500c+
so that i can schedule to download bittorrents during night as it is unlimited
from 2 to 8 am.
but the prob i am facing is that it gets disconnected not frequently
by disconnected here i meant that the light in dsl and internet of router disappears.
i searched about this in google and what i found as the possible solutions for this are 1)reduce the no of max connections in bittorrent settings
also as mentioned in the post i changed the dns server address in tcp/ip settings.
but still i am facing the old problem
in all days i faced the same prob. but browsing was not problematic
i have enabled windows firewall and added the port and bittorent to exceptions.also i changed the max no of connections to 35 using xp antispy
ie;patched tcpip.sys as found in the website to help increase bittorrent speed
can anyone suggest one solution for this friends.i am very much worried about this

also in my bitorrent i can see green triangle in the bottom .does this show that i have port forwarded correctly.

to ensure that your port is forwarded properly .. try this online scanner Online Port Scanner | Port Scan | Port Scanning | Portscan Tool

disable DTH.
i had the same problem. even if u have global max connections as 100 with dth enabled it will stop.
i disabled DTH and now have increased global max connections to 380 and yet i am not disconnected.


i don't know whether anyone have dth enabled?

cmkannan

i'll have a try and inform u again

cmkannan

the prob of losing conncetions is less but still its going
also will disabling dth decrease speed
also will increaing no of global connections and .net half open improve downloading speed?

narasimhan1990

i don't think disabling dth will lower speed as long as u have seeders.
increasing max half open connections didn't cause much speed improvement for me. but u can try it. but first u need to patch if u r using xp sp2.
increasing global connections will not cause much change in speed unless your total seed+ peer touches the global max limit.
incresing global connections could freeze probably your router. for me increasing beyond 400 caused freezing of router.
another factor of slow speeds might be the number of hash fails.
i don't know much but i found these by searching various faqs and forums.

guys u havn't answered my question
what is the global max connection u have?
do u have dth enabled?
could u post the preferred settings for bsnl users?

cmkannan

mine global connection is set to 200
i disabled dth

whitestar_999

my global connections are set to 900 with 250 max connections per torrent.i don't face any disconnection problems.DTH is disabled & i am using bridge mode.i get around 190KBps on public torrents.
