deck7uk Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Hi Group, Spent yesterday playing about with bittorrent clients and got bittorrent working ok, but no joy with azereus. I seem to have a problem that many others have, but have not come acroos a working solution. When Azureus is launched it seems to almost "kill" the internet connection. I cannot browse, check email etc and Gaim cuts out. This is even before I attempt to download anything (which does actually work ok!). All the NAT stuff is working fine, and I have set up the port forwarding on my router. I have tried limiting the number of connections (really low)/connection speeds as suggested in other posts elsewhere, but it still seems to block out the net connection. When i close azureus, all works fine again. I noticed someone else mention this and say they have left azereus, but was wondering if anyone else has managed to solve this problem? Cheers.

devries Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Limit the incoming connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deck7uk Posted August 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Am not in front of the PC in question at the moment, but if that is on the "transfers" page in options, then I have already limited it. Is there somewhere else I should be looking aswell? cheers. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Azureus is the best BT client hands down, as long as you don't pass over-optimistic newtork settings to it. Simply run the wizard, and answer properly the few questions it puts. Notice, that it just asks for your UPLOAD bandwidth, not the download one! (for a pretty good reason).

deck7uk Posted August 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 I have tried setting speeds down to 5kb'sec (up and down) on my 1mbit (256k up) connection and still same prob :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 did you check Mandrake Control Center to make sure the ports are open in the firewall? (by default they aren't). this is a strange problem indeed...so I'm just tossing out an idea here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deck7uk Posted August 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 yes i opened 6881 on udp and tcp :unsure: and also selected the "bittorrent" option. The orig bittorrent client works ok, so dont think it will be a ports problem. cheers. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
