Hi,

I've been using Ktorrent for some time and I have to say that it works perfectly except for one thing.
I'm currently using KTorrent 2.0.2 in Kubuntu Dapper and I've been experiencing connection cuts after some time using it. My network connection stops responding, as if the interface was down (while it's not). The solution is to bring the interface down and up every time it happens but it's quite annoying. Also, when using the local network to, for exemple, transfer some files between computers, these cuts happen earlier. It seems there's some kind of bandwidth"limit". The other computers on the network continue to work as if nothing happened.

I only have this problem while KTorrent is running so it has to be a bug. The connection works flawlessly when it's not running, no matter how much bandwidth I use.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

I'd really like to keep using KTorrent, I find other bittorrent clients to be too bloated, slow or featureless.

Strange, have you tried lowering the number of connections per torrent and the global connection limit ?

Just tried and it made no difference (20 connections per torrent and 100 as global limit, low enough I think). Same problem.

Have you looked in the system logs ? Maybe there is some interesting information there (network driver **** out or something like that).
