Hi guys,

I saw another posts with this issue, but not solved. When I use ktorrent,web, mail, etc...don't work. I can't browse, chat, etc...the connection is dead or near to death

Reading another posts, I changed:

Max connections per torrent= 50 to 20.
Global connection limit= 200 to 30.
Max upload=10

but nothing, with 20/30 connection is dead when I turn ktorrent on . Two versions ago, ktorrent was runing fine, with 50/200.

My connection is a 1024/384 ADSL.

With utorrent (200 connection limit, 50 per torrent) downloads, browsers and other are running fine, in same computer, same operating system...is not a ADSL issue, isn't it?

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Can you try turning off DHT in settings?

Hi again,

Turning off DHT in settings can't solve the problem.

I updated ktorrent today to the new Feisty version/package, and now, with 20/30 connections I can browse -and others- but very very very slow. Changing it to 30/70 connections or higher kills my connection again.

I turned off DHT with that new version but can't solve the problem too...

With utorrent, same computer, I changed connections to 70/250. No problem.

Any other idea?

Hi.

Just to say I experienced the same problem. After 10-15 minutes of running ktorrent my adsl connection suddenly dies. I tried to limit max global connections to 50, but with no luck. I disabled DHT, but no luck. I set max torrent connections to 30, but again no luck. The problem occurs even if ktorrent does not eat all my bandwidth. My connection is 256KB/s down and the connection sometimes dies when ktorrent is using only 120KB/s. With previous version of ktorrent 2.1, I never had this problem even with higher connections values.

Thanks for reading.

I had this same problem a few months ago and fixed it by lower my upload speed to 15kbs but now it is doing it again and I can not figure it out. Has anyone found out a solution?

I've had the same problem. Once the torrent is downloading at a pretty decent speed (200 kB/sec or more), webpages don't load. This doesn't make sense as I have an 8Mb connection. I've tried setting my upload to as low as 10 kB/sec but no go.

I'm hoping to find a solution to this as I use KDE and really like KTorrent for its looks and small footprint. By the way, I'm currently using 2.2.2 on Debian Sid.

Any advice?

Are you sure this is not torrent specific? Some torrents just do not run that fast compared to others.

The problem isn't the speed of torrents, the problem is that when I download anything with KTorrent, I cannot browse the internet. My wife also suffers as she's on the PC and I use the laptop, wirelessly connected.

What versions are you running? Sometimes the RPM's are out of date.

Good Luck

I'm running version 2.2.2 on Debian Sid.

Have you built your own package or used a pre-compiled binary? I could also recommend you to try svn as there are a lot of bug fixes in there.

Pre-compiled, installed via apt.

It might be something the original package author screwed up, so I would recommend compiling it yourself.

I used to see this a lot before I switched routers (used to use dlink, then netgear, now the one provided by verizon for fios) I believe the issue was that the other routers didn't have enough address space to handle the connections. If you are using an inexpensive router, or have it configured poorly it may be the cuplrit, not necessarily ktorrent.

I'm running 2.2.2 on gentoo and have no issues with my 20/5 MB/s connection downloading at 2100KB/s and uploading at 450KB/s at the same time, while browsing on the computer running ktorrent, and other computers on the network.
