This is a little odd, because you have plenty of bandwidth to
and from your modem, it is the upstream line that is limiting.
But perhaps the modem gets too busy to listen to you.
Thats when I have to turn the power off and back on again.
As a test, what upload limit should I be using for p2p
programs?
Determine your upload bandwidth (try the bandwidth test at
DSLReports.com), then limit your P2P to never more than 90%.
If it's still a hog, cut to 80%, or do a binary search for
what works OK for you.
To some extent, this depends on your OS, and the "fairness"
of its scheduler (round-robin). I have no confidence in
Microsoft products in this, amongst other, respects.
I am subscribed for 1792 KBits/Sec by 448 KBits/Sec, so as a test I |
set Emules upload to 10kB/s and Bitcomet the same so 20kB/s which is
50% and did some browsing while the download was at about 20-40kB/s
and the modem still has the same issue. Although with just browsing,
I never have to reset the modem. Is there maybe a winsock problem or
one of the other windows files? |

I switched to another local DSL provider using Verizons same lines and
my issues have gone away, plus Im getting 3 down and 1 up, also is 5
bucks less a month. So, I would assume that Verizon was doing
something with my connection. The only other thing it could have been
is the Westell 2200, but I tried 2 of them, unless they both have the
same problem. I now have the Westell Wirespeed which I believe is a
lower end model but it works. |
