Too many connections!!!
 

I have started using Shareaza, its ok sometimes. I think i have caused a DoS on my own connection and too myself by setting the number of transfers, files and files per transfer too high although I'n not sure what they where. I was trying different settings to maximise throughput(download) and something happend i don't understand.

Basically the transfer monitor in Shareaza was showing very low transfer rates (relative) and the u/s was maxed out causing loss of connectivity to everything - other than whatever it was doing.

My netstat. This isnt the full table, its minus the standard stuff you always see above and below the active conections:

Port 6347 is the port used for Shareaza. I'm not sure about the 2* port numbers. At the time upstream was leaving this machine at max (32kBps) and a similar speed on d/l. Shareaza showed u/s and d/s speeds of 14kBps (ish). Hmmm, way off.

When i closed Shareaza the transfers stopped and the connections closed.

FYI: I'm running Norton Internet Security '02 and behind a NAT forwarding 6347 to m081e.

I dont uderstand p2p much or the networks they operate on but it would be nice to understand why this happend so i can avoid in the future and configure properly.

Cheers guys,

John :)

Re: Too many connections!!!
 

Your stack is full. You need to limit the amount of connections and not the speed.

Re: Too many connections!!!
 

put your upload on 80% of your max upload speed (mine lives on about 20 under emule/overnet)

if your on the 1 meg like me put your max connections down abit.

Look to see if your router has known issues with many connections emule/overnet are know to overload a few routers i imagine Shareaza is the same as it can connect to the edonkey network. as it connects to something like 4 networks i imagine its very bus all the time, i wouldnt use it my self but all depends what you want to d/l

if your after torrent links use shadows experimental client or the abc mod if yoru after files on the edonkey network use overnet or emule/emule-kad all depends what sort of files ur after

Re: Too many connections!!!
 

Good to see people using Shareaza. :tu:
Remember that Shareaza is basically the same as eMule so you won't get downloads at full speed very often, it's an app that should be left for a few days to complete the downloads.

Re: Too many connections!!!
 

the donkey network and its spin off server less networks are never meant for fast d/ls mines been running 109 days non stop and i aint finished some files ;) done about 980 gig mind..overnet seems to be fastest (i tested a lot) for certain popular releases
