Network failure caused by torrent client?

[Protoncek \(ex. SleeperMan\)]

I have 3 PC's connected on SMC wireless USB print server router (but they
are connected wired, not wireless), Vista RC2
I noticed kind of odd behaviour when running torrent client -i tried Azureus
and uTorrent - both start fine, start to download, but then after a while
(might be 5 minutes, might be 15) d/l falls to zero, and when i open network
tab (of windows, i mean) i see only my PC is there, no router, no home
network, no other 2 PC's. Trying to repair fails, disabling and re-enabling
fails, only solution is to reboot.

Any clues what might cause this?

Stop downloading illegal stuff.

Stop downloading illegal stuff.

right.
But, then again, who said i d/l illegals? Only legal stuff...

As far as the problem goes, I haven't seen it with torrents here ( I just
use a wired router ) but at random times, windows mail gives a "no internet
connection available error". I have an always on connection and selecting
"try again" always gets it working. I'm thinking this is a network problem
in Vista in general rather than a torrent problem. Most likely will be fixed
by in RTM.

I'd say it's Vista problem, too. Since it's hardly that i'd get same
behaviour on two programs. I too have permanent connection (wired, i keep
wireless part off), since router is connected to Internet. But funny thing
is that when this happens, i can't even reach router - same old error.
However if i d/l normally, directly via Explorer, all is OK...

I have the Same Problem. I couldn't get Azureus to work more than a hour or
so. I had to reboot the system to get connection again to anything, even my
router. But I could get uTorrent to work fine. It seems to be a problem
with tcpip.sys and it's concurrent connection limit. Pretty Strange that I
didn't have this problem in RC1, or XP SP2, which both have the same
connection limit from what I understand.

Seems to be a problem with build 5728/5744 and nvidia nforce 4 or those
with the nvidia marvell 88E1111 lan controller. Oddly utorrent works but
it's slow compared to azureus which makes me wonder a java/azureus prob with
builds after RC1 on nvidia?

Happening on other hardware than just nvidia;too.

 

[Peter M]

Interesting which implies they've done something to the network "stack"
that's broken things for some.

 

[Jeff]

Not sure about that,but it's happening on other hardware then just
nvidia;that i can attest to.

i have nvidia 4 chipset, and sure also LAN card...(DFI Infinity mobo)
i hope they'll solve the problem in final version...
