meger Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 SORRY; i am using bitcomet ver 1.21 and i am using a cable link through a router EDIMAX br 6524 n and a thomson digital broadband modem. i have forwarded my port. my main computer (hp laptop) is connected by LAN to the router and 4 computers connect WIFI (not very intensivly 1-2 in paralell max) i am using win 7 prof. and my antivirus + fierwall is norton 360. my bitcomet is set to download unlimited. after all this i have been experiencing net breaks to the extent that i need to reset the modem and start again. i have run a speed test and my connection gives 10-12 mbyt download and 800 kbyt upload. i have replaced my router and no change. thanks for any aid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greywizard Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Are your speed test results in bytes or bits (i.e. 12 Mb/s or 12MB/s)? Have you capped your Max Upload Rate at 80% of your network connection's upload capability? Make sure that you acknowledge that BitComet uses bytes not bits to measure bandwidth. Define "net breaks". Do you lose connectivity for any program or just for BitComet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meger Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Internet speed 12Mbs download 0.99 upload. cut means total no connection capped the upload at 600 kBs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluelos Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 What's the model number of the modem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meger Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 tcm 425 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greywizard Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I'm not crazy about quoting myself, but I DID warn you about the difference between bits and bytes, didn't I? Make sure that you acknowledge that BitComet uses bytes not bits to measure bandwidth. If you have 0.99Mb/s upload bandwidth that means 990kb/s which equals 120kB/s. 80% of that is 96kB/s which is no where near your 600kB/s.

kluelos Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 The only documentation links I can find for that modem are dead -- not just the link, the whole site, dead and redirected elsewhere. I strongly suspect that your problem is in that modem. If you can, obtain a replacement, even a loaner to see if the problem goes with it.
