You have 3 threads running with the exact same question all a few minutes apart :38, :44, :49

Get a router that can support p2p, something that can run dd-wrt is best bet most likely.

Yeah alot of routers tend to die when it comes to BitTorrent.. or even you computer can open too many connections than the limit set into the OS.

I'm actually running uTorrent now and I've got a fair few "TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts." errors in the Event Viewer, so I've tried tweaking the settings so even fewer connections can be established.

Its not the total number of connections that the issue with 4226 errors, it the number that utorrent attempts to make at any one time, ie the half open ones -- lower the number from 8 to 6 or 4

As many have stated its your router, I actually used to have the same one until about a year ago bought a WRT54GL and slapped dd-wrt firmware and now it currently runs tomato firmware. At 1483 reviews with 5 eggs, I think it speaks for itself that this wont be something you would regret buying especially if your having troubles with your current one, which if i recall had no user interface at 192.168.1.1 or whatever equivalent that would be on your network to change router settings.

Ah, I see. I bumped it down to 6 and things actually are alot snappier and speedier (Y).

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
