If that happens and your ISP is throttling your P2P traffic you may never get a good download speed, even when connected to a well seeded torrent. Another restriction you might come across is harder to bypass as it directly affects the internet connection from your service provider.Ĭonnecting and transferring data between seeds and peers in a torrent client requires a lot of bandwidth so some ISPs throttle P2P traffic at certain times of day or permanently to reduce the load on their network. Many organizations and governments have tried to ban users from accessing popular torrent sites like Kickass or The Pirate Bay, but most users can bypass those restrictions with ease. Throttle your download speed the client if you wish to run other applications.Although it can be used to distribute and download legitimate files, BitTorrent is mostly associated with downloading copyrighted material like movies, music and games. You are simply timing out those applications because of the latency caused by sucking so much data through such a small hole. SP doesn't like more than 10 connections.ģ. Google "lvllord patch" and it'll fix that. Optionally, if it's an SP2 computer, you're running into the max-connections-locally issue. (Like.you can't pull up a webpage, but you CAN get in MSN.) The only GOOD fix for this is a hard reset of the router, meaning hold the reset button until the lights go off and then back on steadily.Ģ. Often denoted by network-wide blinking out on random internet applications.

Turn DOWN the number of connections in the client, there is NO NEED for it to be over 100.

Most routers can't handle over 200 concurrent connections. Like someone said, it's a max connections the router issue. Of course, I always advocate the learning process that goes along with problem solving.ġ. As someone who runs a fairly popular BT related help site, I will advise AGAINST the "just switch clients" answer that so many are so happy to give.
