Let's do it this way guys... If I don't have any money for better connection, then I probably have no money for a new router... SO NO MONEY CAN BE SPENT!

Quote from CSU1 :

...global max download set too?

Not worth it... If I put it on 100, it downloads on 200 if it's a good torrent...

Quote from hazaky :

So what? Maybe he cant have better one?

My post somewhere at the top is agreeing with this one...

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Dude Croatia has better internet than the UK and I get 10mb.

You could if you had some proper switches but I doubt you have £2000 for a HP Networking jobbie.

Maybe better max speeds but I think it costs helluva lot more, and max speed internet would cover 1/6 of my dads paycheck (spelling?)... Would you pay that much for it?
Also, I don't have ANY money at all...

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

p.s., use uTorrent.

I will, if I ever want to download @10kB/s...

Quote from xfirestorm :

Get a decent router that supports QoS.
Like Linksys WRT54GL and load up dd-wrt or tomato firmware.
Or any other router

The router I have is the one I got from my Internet provider, I mean, we paid for it... Also, if we don't use their router and something breaks down we can get our asses sued probably...
Also, no money can be spent...

Quote from xfirestorm :

This however is true, but you can work around this "problem", if I can call it that.
As an example I'll take a 1024kbps connection with 2 clients and only look at download.

Because 1024kbps is the upmost upper limit of the connection I'll mark that with iptables/ipchains in the mangle table as well as both connections to both clients/computers(or subnets for that matter). So I have 3 marks:
1 - link to teh worldz!one11!one
2 - pc1
3 - pc2
blah....

How to do this exactly? If it would cost me ANY money, then don't even try... :/

Quote from CSU1 :

wtf...slap your bro in teh chops and set his GLOBAL up AND download limits to 40% of the net total, and LIMIT CONCURRANT NUMBER OF CONNECTIONS> simpleZ

effin cisco routers LoLz!

lmfao

Quote from Dygear :

• Use uTorrent.
  
• Throttle Upload.
  
• Download & Install DD-WRT.
  
• Setup QoS within DD-WRT.
  

uTorrent sux as I already said...

Quote from rediske :

...or you could try a traffic shaping software like cfos or this freeware (havent't tried, just googled an wikied)

Will see 'bout that, thanks for the nfo...

And please, don't fight about Cisco and HP and shits like that, I'm not into scrolling 24203535358092852 pages of that... I just please for a simple solution, so keep it on topic please...

E: BTW, sorry for the late answer, I wansn't at home the whole day...

"Simple" and "solution" are word that usually don't go together very well

- What's your connection? ADSL? Cable?
- If there are no torrents running, does everything work fine?
- Tried limiting total connections and upload slots in BitComet?

I'm on sorry ass 8MBit ADSL line here with up to 5 machines sharing it and ever when there is heavy torrent activity I don't get any disastrous slowdowns. That's with QoS disabled both on router and PCs.
Is there any model/make marking on your router? Sometimes QoS on a cheapo router might actually slow things down...

It's a long shot, but have you been having this problem for a long time or is it something new? Perhaps a simple router reboot would help...

You just have to set µtorrent up right, and you will just download at normal speed. And if you cap the speed with µtorrent, it actually caps the speed at the speed you selected.

It's ADSL... Yes, then everything works fine... Well, haven't tried limiting total conns, but upload speed is limited to less than a half of the max upload speed, and with these settings, it's okay as long as the dll speed doesn't use all the bandwidth (<--- Which is the actual problem I'm trying to "fix" here... ).
I'm not sure what QoS is, but I wasn't "adding" anything to the network, so if it wasn't already on when I got the router and the connection, it's off.
It's a Thomson SpeedTouch, not sure which one, my parents are sleeping in the room where the router is located, so can't check right now.
The problem always existed, but in the last few days we started fighting over it...

I do not want to use µtorrent... Bad experience with that crap.

just a thought but why not try CCProxy i believe it might do what you want and 'CCProxy trial version can only support 3 users' ie free
i have never used so can't help more

Ok, so you can't afford to get decent BB at your home and sure as hell don't have the money for a hardware networking solution.

What I can give you here is two pieces of software that kick the ass out of any hardware network port/hub/switch/router...it does tkae a little time to set up (a guess for a n00b would be a good three hours to get up and running).

Install VMware
Install PFsense

You'll nedd to install this on the PC nearest the BB, the PC must have two NIC's, for example ethernet and wifi on same machine (or even better two eth NIC's)

I have used both before for a public AP and the possibilities are endless with numerous topographical options to play around with.

As I've said, be prepared to spen some time though but you will learn a lot of general networking theory from it...good hands on stuff

E;

reading your post above YOU NEED TO RESTRICT THE NUMBER OF TOTAL CONCURRANT CONNECTIONS LOLz!

If I understand this sentence correctly, these programs break the speed limit of my router, right? Well, some guys were doing it, and you know, they won't try it ever again, if you know what I mean...

512kB/s is far from the limit of your router...

They don't, it's not even possible to uncap ADSL router (to my knowledge). CSU suggested that you turn one of your computers into a router. The software he suggested is what you can use for that. Although it would probably solve all your problems, it would also mean that that PC would have to run 24/7...

It's 100Mbps, I expressed it in a wrong way... I meant the provider limit...

Well, that's also not quite possible, as my PC runs pretty loud and it'd be much trouble...

Quote from matijapkc :

i know - your router is 100mbps (on the papers), your connection is 512kB/s, so there's no chance you can tune your router to reach higher speeds because 512 is far from your router's limits

To recap it, here's what you have to do

• Disable any kind of QoS or traffic shaping in your router's settings
  
• Enable protocol encryption in BitComet
  
• Limit max number of upload slots to 3 on both PCs in BC
  
• Limit total connections number to 75 in BC (might hurt download speed). What's the current value?
  
• Limit upload speed to say 33% of what your link can handle on both PCs (what's your upload speed BTW?)
  

Only if none of these improve the situation, you should think about limiting download speed.

• Limit total connections number to 75 in BC (might hurt download speed). What's the current value?
  

• Limit upload speed to say 33% of what your link can handle on both PCs (what's your upload speed BTW?)
  

I'll try that stuff, no time now... And no downloads actually...

If the torrent is good, the dll speed manages to break the speed limit. The max I got was 580, but it was only for a few seconds...

My max upload speed is around 30kB/s. It's 256kbps actually... And it's limited to 10kB/s on both PCs.

This thread & replies are a straight up joke.

netLimiter is what you want. Support the developers if ya can.

PLEASE just have a look at the time when the last reply was before posting in a thread..
