Solve : Stop downloading you piece of s**t? |
|
Answer» While uTorrent was running on my computer, I noticed I keep getting HTTP gateway timeout issues in Opera. I checked the modem lights and they where flashing, which means an application is downloading/uploading data. When I exit uTorrent and choose "Repair" in the connection status dialog, the flashing stops, and I don't receive any more "HTTP gateway timed out" messages. But uTorrent doesn't look like it is downloading anything, but when it is running, I can't CONNECT or the connection becomes EXTREMELY slow. While you might not be downloading anything, you might be uploading. Have you checked that? Yes I did check that. No it is not uploading. All items are Finished. I deleted all torrents and uTorrent is still doing something ONLINE. Quote from: sabbyvt on December 23, 2007, 08:51:10 PM Woops, didn't realize that Utorrent was downloading illegal software. I don't download illegal software. I use to download keygens, but not anymore. Nopers. Not after I had that virus infection.you are most likely receiving a DoS attack. µtorrent is a great program, but the issue i have with it is the fact that i found out your IP gets broadcasted to everyone else connected to that torrent. i am connected to the internet via a router, a router that creates logs of connections and of attacks, and everytime i use µtorrent, i get attacked. now its not that big of a deal for me because my router recognizes it as an attack and simply drops the packet(s), but to someone without a router or software firewall to protect them, it could be potentially dangerous.It may be a DoS attack but it doesn't have to be malicious or even intentional. When you use a p2p program like uTorrent you open a LOT of connections to other computers. All these other computers will also send messages back to you. They might want to request part of a file from you, tell your client that it can start downloading, check if you're still online, and so on. All these connections can potentially overwhelm your connection, creating an unintentional DoS. Try lowering the number of connections uTorrent can make. There should be a setting for this somewhere in the client. A lower number of connections doesn't necessarily mean slower downloads either. If your connection was getting drowned by connection attempts before, lowering the amount ALLOWED may actually benefit your download speed.Thank you. Limiting the connections now...Well, that didn't work. But I don't really use uTorrent anymore, so I have being thinking of uninstalling it. Thanks anyway.buy a router, seriously. i have about 50+ logged attacks on my NETWORK within 2 days, all of which were dropped by my router and thus totally ineffective.Thank you Homer. |
