I have a dsl router conected via LAN with my system.When using ktorrent network's speed gradually goes down and reaches zero.Then, Ktorrent doesnt work.I cant even browse any pages.I have to restart my system to reach internet,but when i open ktorrent i have the same problem again.Firewall i shutdown and ports are forwarded from the router.I have the same problem when im using bittorrent.Suse linux 10.0 intalled.Any suggestions?

Try limiting the down and upload speeds, other then that there isn't much you can do.

The fact that the speed goes down to 0 is weird, could your ISP be throttling the connection ?

"could your ISP be throttling the connection ?" i can't really understand what do u mean by that.[/quote]

Your InternetServiceProvider is able to scan the data that come put of your ports, when is finds p2p traffic it "shapes" the bandwidth of your port or your whole connection.
This procedure of sniffing for p2p traffic and shaping it to a very low bandwidth is called "throttling", and is becoming more used by ISP's last years. In the Netherlands chello is also using it since some months.

Normally the traffic wouldn't go to 0KB with shaping, and webtraffic should also stay working at normal bandwidth. ( but, if they want they could limit the whole connection so this is very speculative )

Maybe there's something else wrong here, a configuration with the firewall in the router maybe.

Ok now i understand.I dont think there is something wrong with my ISP nor with my router settings cause bittorrent works just fine under win xp sp2.Ive set ktorrent's ports same as bittorrent's, which are forwarded.Im using ktorrent 1.1.This may have to do something with my problem,but when trying to upgrade,ktorrent crashes.Only the version in suse dvd works

When a distro package doesn't work please contact/inform the maker of the package, he got to know what's going on for being able to maintain a proper package.

Have you tried sniffing in konsole after running ktorrent from there? Maybe that might give us a hint of what's going on in your system

Also, have you tried compiling it from source? It's not that hard as you might think, you just need a bunch of headers and a C/C++ compiler.

I tried compiling it from source.There where certain things missing(like c++ compiler) but now i got this message(when configuring): "checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!"
I really dont know how to fix this...

The important part is nearly always 'check your installation', basically configure can't find any X includes. Most likely since they are not installed:-). Try install to install them (SUse right?), in Yast install something called X11-devel or xorg-devel or something like that. Or you can use Yast to find the package containing 'X.h' and install that package. When you are about to install from source you will always need the development packages of the libraries your program uses. Use Yast to search for the files/packages configure say are missing.

There are a few packages you need to install via the distro package system for being able to compile: (you error was, like Knut said, because of missing X11 headers)

- X11 headers
- Qt headers
- KDE headers
- autoconf/automake

It depends on the distro how they tend to call these packages, but when you search in the package manager you can find them easily because these are the uniform names to search for.

Finally i did instll it from source but ktorrent still crashes when trying to open it.
I think i have to use another client

Could you post some more specific details about the crash?
Backtrace would be usefull...

here is the backtrace.Any suggestions would be very helpfull

Weird crash, never seen a crash like this before. Did you do a make install ?

did as the isntall said:
./configure
make(took a long time 5-10 minuits)
make install

I dont thing there where any error messages.
Ktorrent crashes when trying to istall from .rpm(but there is no back trace there).The only version that works is the one on suse dvd 1.1(something)

Could it be that your still running the old one, with parts of the new version.

Deinstall the rpm and then do make install again, see what that gives.
