My internet keeps disconnecting everytime I run utorrent.
It'll run for a while then disconnect.
It also disconnects when i connect a router, after a while I can't reconnect without a restart of the computer.

I am using a D link 502T...and my ISP is TPG.*australia.

Also, Is there a reason I only get 0.39 mbps instead of 2.4 ? Although my line speed is relatively high.

Try limiting the upload speed to 30 kbps and see if that works. Also update routers firmware, also umm D Link router not so good for torrent in my experience, better is Netgear, of course expense makes difference here so make sure you spend at least 130 on it :( Yep that fixed my issues with constant disconnects otherwise D Link, Linksys, all failed when running torrents full on :L

I think it might be a bandwith safety or something.

Some ISP's block the use of peer2peer software.
I hear Azureus is supposed to be pretty good at keeping quiet.

Although, it's resource intensive, and can slow your computer.
The router may be a concern in your area because some sublease lines, and the ISP may be preventing this. I know some in the states charge extra for multiple access points;ie, routers.

Speed has a lot of factors, including area-wide usage/availability.
Try:

for TCP Optimizer. To add: I noticed somewhere it said you shouldn't mess with Vista's settings, so only XP. I have neither, but used to run XP and had very good results with improvement running this software.

what OS?...

how long have you had this system?... PC i mean?...

Win XP .

I tried limiting the dl speed, didn't work. .

I've had this system for 2 years.

I heard Azeuras is good. Will try.

I had the same problem with utorent. It turns out there is actually a firewall in the DSL modems themselves and it blocks just about everything. What you need to do if this is the case is first stop utorent changing port and then call your ISP and get them to walk you through putting a pin hole in the modem.

if it's windows XP...

go to start>run... clear out anything in the text box... type 'cmd' (no quotes) and click ok... this will open DOS, or the command line...type 'sfc /scannow' (with no quotes) hit 'enter' key... this command runs the most complete check and repair of IE and windows possible and does a protected file scan for corruption or malfeasance...

if it prompts you for the windows XP cd, "in order for windows to run properly files must be copied to the DLL cache"... you have OS corruption... insert the CD and repair... but be aware your OS was systemically corrupted... and you should consider a backup of all data, a format and re-install...

reboot when repair has finished...

then run a complete reset of all tcp/ip and socket management on the OS...

go to start>run... 'cmd' is most like still in the box there, click ok... if not type 'cmd' (no quotes)... click ok... this will again open DOS, i mean the 'command line'

type...

netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt (enter)
netsh winsock reset (enter)

the first command if entered correctly gives NO feedback it simply moves to a new line... if you get any feedback type it again...
the 'winsock' command if entered correctly... will tell you to reboot... 'sockets management has been successfully reset, please reboot' something like that...
do so...

test the situation after this... report back if it persists...

Is this a wireless router?

I had the same problem on an ADSL modem, when I changed the cables for higher quality ones problem solved.

I'm making a post in computers, I'd like you nerds to check this stuff out, tell me what you think, I'm pretty sure I've got fat-assed hackers raping my computer!

I tried using Azureus, same deal. Although it lasts slightly longer, it still shut down.

It could be your ISP. Some of them want to limit usage, specially most likely illegal downloads from torrent sites...

Probably GOD telling him not to steal.

Damn, Now where am I gonna get my latest episodes..

Probably. But It's so hard to hear him. Maybe a computer crash whenever I try torrents would work better. :D

UPDATE: It's been half an hour and azuerus hasn't disconnected, I tried the TCP optimizer and it worked.
Surprising.

Good to hear maybe your problems have been solved.

I remember when I was active on the torrent sites that Azureus stated on its site that it used technology to prevent ISPs from knowing about its presence. By reporting itself as another program and changing ports it used, and such.

Hope it continues to work out for you.

I hope so too, Apparently there is a 24 hour time out on TPG, where the user must turn off his modem.

I have successfully downloaded a movie off it, faster than utorrent, so it might hold.

Here is the explanation how Comcast for example limiting P2P usage, so the rest of the network don't have to drop their speed:

That doesnt aplie in australia. I have actually spoken to telstra about utorent and they dont care what you do with your internet. Thats your problem, its more likly that as i said the modem itself is blocking the conection and they can help with that

Strange, I never had a problem with telstra (other than the fact they were ripping me off), only after I switched to TPG, It started occurring.

I had exactly the same problem. Thanks for advice guys

D-Link routers are notorious for having problems with Bittorrent because they can't handle having hundreds of connections open at once. The router gets jammed full of connections from uTorrent, eventually running out of memory and crashing.

My old D-Link router would do the same thing when I had uTorrent running. Everything would slow down until eventually nothing worked anymore, then I'd have to reset the router.

The newer models don't have this problem. I'm using a DIR655 that lets me comfortably browse while using bittorrent, and maintain QoS when necessary for Vonage.

Did you change modems?
