Have you tried reducing the number of connections allowed?

Will try but how do I do that??

That would depend on which bit torrent software you are using.
I think the manuals will probably say.

Sorry didn't explain to well ~ how do I do this bit "Have you tried reducing the number of connections allowed?

As I said it depends on which bit torrent client you are using.
There are lots (e.g. azureus).
If you post which one then someone will be able to tell you.
Otherwise you need to read the manual.

You sound like someone in the know, do you know the best number of
simultaneous connections to set XPSP2's tcpip.sys when using Bit torrent
using the hack I found a while back?

I reduced it in the bit torrent application.
I would leave the tcpip.sys alone as it effects more than bit torrent if you
change it.

Which is a good reason to trade up & get something like a Draytek
2600, steady as a rock & that's after finding that the Netgear 834g,
the 3Com Office connect, the D-Link 604T & a Linksys which I got rid
of the same day so I can't tell you the model, all fell over in their
own way whilst running continual P2P sessions. Hell I even procured a
Cisco router to give that a go as well, I got that fed up with the
problem.

Go for the Draytek, it's cheaper than the Cisco, would be my advice

Wont be much good for sky broadband, because as of yet, no one has being
able to use a non sky router.

The method is set out he
http://www.skyuser.co.uk/forum/showt...light=firmware

The risks a it could f*ck up your router if you are not very careful (or
maybe even if you are very careful), and it puts you in breach of your Sky
contract which requires you to use only the Sky router. Presumably the worst
that could happen would be a termination of your sky broadband service and a
chance to sign up with a more expensive ISP.

Hi

I am new to this and I think I have sorted the problem with this Sky
Netgear DG834GT Router with its constant slow speeds and line drops. I
had my BT line enabled on Monday and had been phoning Sky everyday to
fix the problem, but everytime they done a line test my line was
perfect (1500KBS download and 700KBS upload) but I was downloading
files at speeds of 24kbs i.e. a 15MB file took me 30mins to download so
I knew there was somthing definitley wrong and so did many of the
people on these forums. I was having to constantly reboot my router to
fix the problem!!!

This is how I sorted the problem:

1) Have you subscribed to 'Sky By Broadband'? If yes, what Sky By
Broadband does is it downloads the movies you have requested everytime
you go on the internet. You DO NOT have to be logged in to Sky By
Broadband to download movies, once you go online it automatically
begins downloading the movies at super speeds taking up a lot of your
bandwidth. The only way to stop this is by logging into Sky By
Broadband and deleting the movies. If you delete the movies directly
from your hard drive, Sky By Broadband begins to download them again,
so, the only way to actually delete the movies is by logging into the
Sky By Broadband software and deleting it from there.

2) Log onto the router and turn off the UPNP. This should fix the
problem, but, you will have to configure any Torrent Software you have
as well as your antivirus software to accept torrents.

I have written the step by step guide for configuring Azureus and my
PC-Cillin Anti-virus:

a) Open Azureus;

b) Click 'Tools' - 'NAT / Firewall Test' and make a note of the
incoming TCP Port, in my case and in this example is 51445

c) Log into you router via http://192.168.0.1 USERNAME: admin PASSWORD:
sky

d) Click 'UPNP' and make a note of what you see, it should look
somthing like this

Active. Protocol. Int Port. Ext. Port IP Address
YES. UDP. 51445. 51445 192.168.0.2
YES. TCP. 51445. 51445 192.168.0.2

If you see nothing click refresh.

e) Turn UPNP off

f) Click 'Services' and then click 'Add Custom Service'

g) Fill it out with these details

Service Definition
Name: AZUREUS
Type: TCP/UDP
Start Port: 51445 (basically whatever your Azureus Incoming TCP Port)
Finish Port: 51445 (again whatever your Azureus Incoming TCP Port)

h) click 'APPLY'

i) Now click 'Firewall Rules'

j) click 'Add' for the Outbound Services.

Service: AZUREUS(TCP/UDP:51445)
Action: ALLOW ALWAYS

Click 'Apply'

k) Now go 'Firewall Rules' - Inbound Services.

Service: AZUREUS(TCP/UDP:51445)
Action: ALLOW ALWAYS
Send to LAN Server: 192.168.0.2 (basically whatever your UPNP IP
Address was for Azureus)

Click 'Apply'

TO CONFIGURE PC-CILLIN:

PC-cillin 2005 Users

1) Go to Network Security - Personal Firewall and highlight your
connection (denoted with a green dot)

2) Select the Edit - Exception list tab.

3) Click Add and enter a description; e.g., "Azureus".

4) Click "Specified Application" and enter the path to javaw.exe
(Azureus v2.3.0.4) or azureus.exe (v2.3.0.6 and newer).

5) For connection, select "Incoming"; for Action, select "Allow."

6) On protocol select TCP.

7) Select Specified Ports and type the port number you wish to use in
the box (please also view why you should consider changing the 6881
standard port)

8) Ensure IP setting is on All IP Addresses.

9) Press OK to return to Personal Firewall Profile window, and press OK
on this window as well

10) Press Apply.

11) Now in the Azureus window go to Tools - NAT/Firewall test and hit
the Test button you should get TESTING PORT XXXXX ...OK!

12) Repeat the above steps, but on protocol select UDP.

OK, so it downloads at full pelt, but surely if you know this you can
add a new movie at night and let it download overnight, rather than
add in the morning and "suffer" low speeds. Once the movie is on
your PC/box (sorry, don't have Sky services so don't know which
thing actually holds the downloaded movies) then it will not be a
regular problem, as it won't be downloaded again and again, will it?

NoNeedToKnow

Thanks for your comments. The point I was trying to make, was to make
people suffering poor bandwidth speeds aware that it might be because
of the Sky By Broadband service(downloading in the background) that is
causing the slow speeds. I was not advising as to the best times to
download as you are right, obviousley, the best time to download large
files (movies) is during the night.

The other point you made; "Once the movie is on your PC/box (sorry,
don't have Sky services so don't know which thing actually holds the
downloaded movies) then it will not be a regular problem, as it won't
be downloaded again and again, will it?"

Movies are downloaded to where you specify, for example I have
speceified my Sky By Broadband to download onto my Desktop. I then cut
and paste the movies to wherever. Once the Sky By Broadband can no
longer detect the movies on my desktop, it begins downloading them
again, which is why I said the only way to actually delete a movie
request to Sky By Broadband is by logging into the software and
deleting it from there.
