Firewall issues? Is the correct port opened/forwarded?

Have you tried another client?

[breathemetal]

firewall is off
correct port is opened

[nekrosoft13]

try turning on the TCP connection limit, this limit was removed in win7, but it can still be turned back on.

your router propbably can't take the ammount of connections being opened.

i followed the guide but it must be off, the guide that is. because it doesnt really correspond with win7

it does correspond to win7, MS just haven't updated their KB to win7, since win7 is not technically released yet.

There may be a possibility that the drivers for the NIC are flaky? Just throwing that possibility out there.

Windows fanbois won't like that statement! :D

[breathemetal]

And they can shove it up their asses. I love my mac, its a great laptop.

[crainger]

I always keep my download on another PC anyway, my media server. It runs 7 though, no problems, a good torrent can max out my connection.

So when you say the connection drops, you mean that the PCs LAN drops out? If that's the case I'm inclined to go with what six said.

[breathemetal]

Yea the whole connection just dies

[nekrosoft13]

your router can't handle the ammount of connections, if the entire connection dies

thats what im suspecting.

when i used to use azures it used to crap out my connection if i set the connection per torrent too high.

[breathemetal]

yeah but why does my mac handle it? its on the same connection just wireless. and it worked fine before i went to win7

what are your settings...the settings may be different between your mac and pc

I tired this just now (I can "sometimes" use someone's cable internet), and I didn't even have an entry for EnableConnectionRateLimiting!

I made an entry, but I can't try it out.

[nekrosoft13]

EnableConnectionRateLimiting is not there in win7, it has to be added.

do some googling, this limit was removed sometime around RC1 build

[breathemetal]

so how do u add it?

Whoops, forgot to tell you. I was meaning on my laptop, it has Vista x64 SP2. It doesn't have an entry for Vista 64 SP2. I had to create one even though it says in the KB that it was for x64 SP2.
