Re: [northeast] Might be torrent throttling, might not be? Help!

Well, Verizon is not known to throttle anything, so it sounds like you're having the well known ActionTec problem of those things not liking torrents. When the internet starts to get slow or stops working, can you visit the ActionTec's setup? If you can, time how long it takes. A slow load usually means it's loaded down, where as a fast load might just be it ran out of NAT room. Also, posting up the ActionTec's error logs might tell us what is going on as well. Make sure you try to grab the log BEFORE you reset the router or you will delete the log.

Re: [northeast] Might be torrent throttling, might not be? Help!

Thanks for the help! I have not tried to re-create this problem with utorrent since, so I don't know how fast the setup page will load. I have a good feeling that the load will be fast, meaning that it just ran out of NAT room. But it seems that after too many of those NAT overloads, it will crash the router and you need to restart it.

Since I haven't tried to re-create the problem again, I can't give you the error log. But when it does happen again, I'll post it up.

When this drop off happens, utorrent says that "whatever connection to whomever was closed". This is what made me think it could be throttling, but it turns out that utorrent just says that, even if the connection was closed unexpectedly.

I have since limited the number of global connections to about 90 and have had fewer problems. But this sacrifices speed, of course. I might consider bridging this router if problems continue. Thanks again!
