Your ISP may be throttling them, although I can't see what difference the version of Ubuntu would make. However, if a Windows client works, then ask yourself if you need Linux for other things, or whether Windows will suit your needs. (I have two machines at home, one with Win, one with Debian Squeeze (testing). The Win machine is set up for those rare times when Debian isn't right for the job.) I think you may not be sure about what we mean by stable/unstable. The Stable distribution is suitable for most needs, but may not be the most up-to-date. Unstable is the place where new programs, or new versions of programs, enter the Debian world. In between is Testing, where things reside after they've had some use and are appearing to be "stable" (by your meaning). The Testing distribution is destined to become the new Stable in the fullness of time. Squeeze is the code name for the current Testing. Sid is the perpetual code name for Unstable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

The only drawback is, mlnet doesn't implement the upload/download ratio required by certain torrents/trackers, so you appear to them not to be uploading at all; eventually, they'll shut you off as a leecher. In addition, the multimedia moguls just can't stand the bittorrent protocol and will do anything to undermine it. I suspect that's why the Internet is swarming with malformed torrents and fake trackers aimed at destabilizing torrent clients. Just try downloading a Debian ISO torrent (even 100 instances in parallel if you can afford the bandwidth): I'll bet your connection won't choke anymore... ;P Just my 2¢. -- Regards, Klistvud Certifiable Loonix User #481801 http://bufferoverflow.tiddlyspot.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The router config can make a difference. Switch off firewall etc in the router, especially statefull rules. Turn off NAT. That will save a LOT of memory in the router.

Why tell him to waste time on something that isn't the problem?

> at some point, minutes, hours, > I'll loose my internet connection. .. What do you have to do to get the connection back? Restart networking on the torrent client computer, or, restart the modem/router, or perhaps you have a separate firewall that requires a (networking) restart. The answer to this question will help determine where the problem is. Regards, Tim. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
