Singnet: Connection not stable

[snowman]

Hi Guys,

im not sure if anyone face the same problem as mine. or this problem is normal.

Im now a 3MBps singnet line. I have no problem surfing net, msn and downloading. Connection is stable.

However when i try tt bt or use pps, the download speed will reach a certain high limit and go all the way down to 0kbps. And once it hit 0kbps, the download speed will start to pick up again. This will occur everytime when i use the 2 applications. :(

Anyone came across the same problem as mine and manage to solve it?

Thanks in advance.

Wat router u using?

It is becos of the router not able to handle too much connection,thus hang or restart.

i using the default singnet 2wire wireless modem. :s22:

Anyone has the same issue as mine?

i also have the same issue as you, but mine is dlink router. whenever i use bittorrent, sometimes my singnet connection (3mbs too) will just hang there and i have to restart the modem and the router together and it will then work as per normal. when i'm using other applications, it seems oki..

whats the reason?

[chunlianghere]

every router has it limitation of connections it can handle..

linksys wrt54gl wit dd-wrt firmware, is the router tat wil be able to handle bittorrent better.

to overcome bittorrent problem is to lower down the Global max connection, means the total connections.

You mean this one 'Global maximum number of connections'?

I'm now putting it at 3000, how many should i change to?

Wa..3000 is too much liao la. For router,around 200 to 300 already the max stress for it liao.

But if seriously,u wan to dl torrent fast n lot of connection, than bridge yr modem n use com to dial up n manage the internet,in this case u sure wouldnt hav any problem ler. Or get linksys wrt54gl wit ddwrt firmware router.

oh..oki.. will keeping down to 200-300 have a difference in my speed?

by lowering the total connections wil affect the download speed, but u hav no choice, since the router is only suitable for normal usage, like web surfing, normal dl.

[bryant_16]

oh..oki, so does that mean i cant hit the max speed again?

Why don't you connect to Microsoft and download a big file to see what speed you are getting?
I am sure everyone knows ISPs throttle BT traffic.

wat u mean by upload page? wat page? size of page upload? upload to where? bear in mind tat 8mbps upload speed is 512Kbps(~64KB/s)

so cannot always blame the isp, most of the case is your side.

Uploaded 4.05MB to NY server in 1 min 58 sec and i am using 8Mb/s connection.
Please be aware 8Mb/s is download and i think 250~300KB/s is upload.
