i'm actually fed up of persistent torrent problem!

i use bsnl 500c plan(night 2-8 unlimited) utr300r2u modem

the problem
the router freezes midway during the night usually within 1 hr (2-3am).usually it happens twice a week. but for the past 2 weeks it happens everyday. so it really affects my downloads. i am fed up. before freezing the torrent speed is normal 150-200 KB/S(port forwarding enabled).

things i tried
1. i changed from utorrent to bittorrent to azureus same problem.
2. i changed from bridge to pppoe same problem.
3. i reduced global max connections from 500 to 300 to 200 to 135 same problem
4. i disabled dth service, undp port mapping and nat/pmt port mapping same problem

i have to thank this forum members for enlightening me about the knowledge of internet and auto scheduling from 2-8am.
hope u could suggest some other methods to solve my problem.


thanks for reading through my sufferings and sorrow now u can carry on with ur work!
sorry for disturbing ur mood today!

iam going to try out torrents in ubuntu here are questions

you can do so using crontab.... in the terminal type crontab -e .. and add the following line
5 2 * * * pon dsl-provider

i added this line then what to do? how to save?(sorry i don't know any commands please help)

im not sure whether it would come back from suspend mode.. once you add the line press ctrl + X and then press Y

thanks very much superprash

so is there any other power saving mode in ubuntu so that the computer runs in minimum power from 10pm to 2am.

Well unfortunately the Sleep function doesnt work well with ubuntu.. so if it works with your hardware your just lucky!!

23 17 * * * pon dsl-provider
i tried this function in crontab -e it worked but when i tried
25 17 * * * deluge
(i think this is the right command to start deluge torrent client)

it didn't work. why?
