Torrent downloads seem to loose speed and stop over time

[mailme_gx]

Having searched the forum and finding no solution I submitted this post.

My torrent downloads seem to stop over time and do not reconnect. I have noticed that they also sometimes pause but that is not the main issue.

When I start mldonkey download transfer rate will reach 200k in a couple of minutes (200k is the d/l limit I set) then over a few hours it will drop to 30k and by the next end of the day all transfers will be idle, then I kill core and restart and the same pattern starts over again.

This has only started recently perhapse (not 100% sure) since I upgraded to 3.0
What settings could be causing this befaviour? here is some information that might be usefull.

Same problem here, did you manage to find a solution ?

*just a suggestion* Try changing the bt ports. Those are default ports, maybe your isp, just maybe......


Another suggestion, drop the max_hard_download_rate to zero (you can test this overnight), it will be limited by your line capability.
