| Anyone having problems related to BitTorrent today?
I've been using BT on my 3/768 business DSL connection for a year and a half and i never had to throttle the amount of connections until today.
I was connected to 700 peers earlier, only putting out 5KB/s at the time (linux distro's I left open), and i couldn't connect to ANYTHING. i shut down my client and all of a sudden everything was fine. i start it up again, problems come back. i wasn't anywhere near my max bandwidth. weird, right? |

I have a problem like this except when I open my torrent client my DSL download speed goes from 1500kbps to about 500 and stays there until I unplug my modem and plug it back in. |

I have had problems with Verizon and BT since February. Its not just BT, and involves gaming too. Sometimes when I use BT or play online games, the connection seems to become crippled and the only way to get a normal connection back is to disconnect and reconnect to get a new IP and everything seems to go back to normal.
I dont know if its the same problem, but one similar thing is like you I had used BT without problems for about 3 years and then all of a sudden my problems started. |

Well my internet is back up to speed... for now..
btw Verizon has crappy tech support in the middle of the day, I called and the lady told me my internet was "fast enough". HUH?!
And I have torrents going and its still working fine so I guess it was just a temporary problem? |

Were these 700 concurrent connections?
My gut feeling is you might have hit some sort of limit.
When using a Westell 371W I've noticed when there are a lot of sockets open, it starts taking longer and longer to serve its local admin page.
Maybe you also hit some sort of bug in either your BitTorrent client or TCP/IP itself?
