TCPIP patching x64 Vista

[mrapoc]

I want to do it but all tools i've tried fails - its 64bit OS and SP1

Ideas?

Utorrent destroys my connection for a while when running...

Is UTorrent set to use UPnP? I found with my old router that Vista was trying to use UPnP and it failed miserably handling the Vista traffic

Currently I use UTorrent on Vista64 with no problems whatsoever

If ur torrent software allows alot of uploading, it`ll cripple ur connection no matter what u do.

 

[FarFarAway]

Ye true, unless you put some nice limits on uploading - which I always do

 

[Rastalovich]

The other thing I meant to mention is... *I think it`s Utorrent*... there is a colored indicator at the lower right of it`s window ?

If it`s green with a tick - ur `ok` - and maybe just limit those uploads.

If it`s orange/red - u have a networking issue. If there`s a hub feeding a number of pcs in ur house, u`ll need to port-forward it`s torrent connections to the pc in question. Big write-up about it in and around the utorrent site iirc. Linkies to wr54g sites and whatever u have for forwarding. Massive list and how-tos.

http://portforward.com/ here you go,just pick your router and away you go

That`s the one they link to. It`s quite a handy link to hold onto.

Its fully forwarded etc.

Just if i start it up and obviously it connects to quite a few people - i can then exit it completely and my connection will refuse to connect to anything (including router) for a good 2 minutes

Event viewer shows that TCPIP has exceeded maximum amount (or some crap)

SO yeh its not just while uploading but as if its locking it down after all the connections -unless my router has a block on max amount of connections (simultaneous)

can u access the internet on another pc/laptop after using utorrent on your pc? It would rule out if its the router or your pc.

 

[mrapoc]

Good idea - will try surfing on my laptop next time i get a "lockup"

 

[Rastalovich]

Find/download a nice util called TCPView. It`s a single exe file that will show ALL of ur ip port-traffic on the pc.

ok got it -

what shall i do - see what comes up when running utorrent?

 

[Rastalovich]

Well, execute it and just have it`s window open - it`s ultimately interesting tbh.

Run Utorrent and watch how much traffic floods the window.

U`ll also notice when u close utorrent a mass of connections stay hooked. This is usually why u have to restart the pc to break the connections (or close each one manually, pfft).

In a basic windows install, with nothing much going on - simple desktop, there are probably 20 standard connections listed. A networked pc, possibly another 5 to 10. Mostly all listening (unless u got lots of update software allowed to check for updates).

 

[mrapoc]

Why do they stay hooked? I think thats why the net stays locked for 3 mins odd until they are terminated - what do you reckon I should try limiting global/peer connections to?

 

[Rastalovich]

You could say they`re `pinging` u. "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files", "Where are my files".... and so on.

Some torrent software is more agressive than others, some are written better than others. The better ones will try to source off u, see the client is turned off, and stop trying. Others will just bang on and on looking for stuff.

How many connections is dependant on what ur personally happy with. See what it is now and maybe half it. If things are too slow and u think u can handle it, push it up a bit more... sounds like oc`ing

 

[mrapoc]

haha yeh

shud that fix the error in event viewer "TCP/IP has reached maximum blah blah blah"

that viewer had like 100s of utorrent entries - loads of which took ages to turn off/end
