uTorrent
 

I have been using utorrant for quite some time now, but the last wee or so I have had problems with my modem disconnecting and reconnecting???

I thought it was a software problem so I tried it on another PC same thing everytime I use utorrant my connection gets booted.

have virginmedia decided that they wont allow the use of torrants?

Nothing has changed (yeah I know this has been said a lot) but really nothing has.

Re: utorrant
 

Which modem do you have?

I use Utorrent with no problems.

Re: utorrant
 

ER the grey one from ntl years ago, as I said not had a problem up until about a week ago, I have even used an older virsion of utorrant on a completly different PC same thing

Re: utorrant
 

Look on the underside of your modem, should be a model no. there, either Ambit 100, 120 or 200.

Re: utorrant
 

You need a new modem the old modems cnt handle many connections and torrent can use a lot of connections

Re: uTorrent
 

its an ambit 100 and I have tried limiting to 200 connections, why would this just suddenly apply? I think it has to do with the fact I changed my services for a lower rated one, and VM have shafted me

Re: uTorrent
 

Yes that modem is age old, you might be better ringing VM up and asknig for a new one.

Re: uTorrent
 

Well I have sent three emails now to virgin media three!!!!!! one a week, for three weeks my connection has been intermittent I have no phone so I cant call, its not utorrent cos it still does it even when its not running, I am quitting VM now I have had enough, I have been with them from the beginning when it was ntl, i HAVE JUST HAD ENOUGH, THERE CUSTOMER SRVICE STINNKS

As a matter of intrest, make sure your ports are Green (I assume you know how to do that in uTorrent) and that the www in general is running OK.

Grab the 1st Torrent file and see what happens. Cos that flew in for me every time I tried it, and yet anything else I tried was slow or just dead. I still think VM where blocking based on Trackers (maybe a sign of things to come?)

Re: uTorrent
 

You may be overwhelming your upload now that your package has been reduced. There is, to my knowledge nothing prohibiting the use of torrents (save the law and the like) within the Virgin Media network, at least cable side.

The response time for email is longer than that for telephone. The newsgroups may be a better bet, but I'll wager a buck to a loonie that you're getting traffic managed now, and when the penalty kicks in you are saturating your connection to the point of collapse.

Re: uTorrent
 

what's the point of having broadband, if they are quashing it? no point at all, I am glad I don't have a higher package I would be well annoyed!

Re: uTorrent
 

Virgin DO NOT block torrents / trackers. Fact

Hi,

Can I recommendend that you ditch peer to peer and try usernet (newsgroups) I swapped last year and will never go back. Max speed and no issue with 'letters' being sent... :/
