Firmware 1.32NA and torrants
« on: August 01, 2009, 06:47:29 AM »
I know when messing with torrents I create my own problems but after or during downloading from time to time I can't access the setup screen on the Dir 655. Vuze is the client and 50 connections is what I have it set at. I'm thinking the use of torrents is just sucking all the resorces from the Dir 655 and from looking @ the logs it seems to be true as I'm still getting pinged from Vuze after I'm done.

Any suggestions other then to stop using torrents?

Torrent peers will indeed keep trying to connect long after you stopped downloading a file. So this can cause a performance drain, although when you use UPnP there will be no connections made to your PC/client. But both modem and router will suffer from this peer bombardement.

You could try configuring your torrent client to use as little peers as possible (remember: configure both up and down stream numbers). Or at least minimoze the number of uploading connections, since your upload bandwidth is much more limited than your download bandwidth. The DIR will be able to cope with 200-400 max connections (and your unpatched windows will be limited to 10  8))

Yeah I patched windows to get up to 50 connections, I'll have another l@@k at Vuze to see if there is a setting which can be change. The odd thing is even if the torrent client is closed the pinging continues to hit the port I have choosen to use. I always thought if there was no communcation between the tracker and the client this would not happen. I guess I was wrong.
Thanks Demonized  ;)

Have you considered using µTorrent?

Does not use Java like Vuze does.

Well after you quit your torrent client, your ip is still on the tracker for a period of time. Not to mention, it is also on other clients who have connected to you and they might spread it out through peer exchange and DHT mechanisms. So what you're experiencing is totally normal.

It's weird that you can't go to the router page with only 50 connection, what is your upload/download speed in your client and what is your line bandwidth? I'm fine over here with 250 connections. The router actually has to keep track more than you set as it will let closed connection stayed in your router for some time.

P.S.: utorrent is lean and nicer IMO, but it has nothing to do with this problem.
