Hi.
Now I can download and upload through bittorrent, but I met another problem. While I'm using my torrent client and downloading/uploading the server is VERY slow, almost not responding. I have an Intel P4 2.8Ghz, 1.5GB Ram, 40GB IDE disk, 2 x Gbit networks cards. Is it too small or could it be some configuration that makes it slow when handling torrrent traffic?

i know for fact that for utorrent clients you can set the number of ports open as well as minimum maximum port.
Is it generally slow or just only when torrent is enabled?

What's the bandwidth of your connection, and of your torrent activity?

By 'server' do you mean the firewall, and do you mean web admin?

Hi.
By server I meant firewall...

Webadmin and other pages doesn't show when torrent trafic is active. The "old" 3com router never had problems with browsing and downloading at the same time. The torrent won't get maximum speed with the new firewall. Webadmin reports non respond error with question to wait or cancel some command...

The status says 25% of RAM used and between 5 and 10% CPU load when I download, but the webadmin interface is VERY slow when downloading torrents not matter what download/upload speed the torrent have.

8mbit download and 0.7 mbit upload. The torrent program is limited to 25KB/s upload and with the new firewall I haven't gotten more than 700KB/s compared with the "old" router I had over 900KB/s. I tried to limit downloadspeed to 100KB/s but still VERY slow alomost none respons when trying to browse webpages or use webadmin.

Hello. I got the same problem with version 7.402 .. Running it in Hyper-V environment but that should not be the cause. with lot of connections from bittorrent (above 50 .. which is really silly amount. should be able to handle houndreds) the firewall gets somehow blocked. Not the machine itself, only all network traffic going though it.
When i log it as console and log as root the responsiveness is fine, cpu usage is low and mem usage low as well. No idea whats the hang-up there.

Oh i am using HOME licence btw. if that might be the case please let me know . still in a phase of "testing" this fw if it will be viable option for my needs. Before i hit this bug it was almost 100% reliable..

Hi, you can see how many connections are open in the firewall...
wc -l /proc/net/ip_conntrack

The home user license is limited to around 1000 connections.

If it's too high, adjust the connection settings in your torrent client(s).

There's a beta going on right now, active testers will get upgraded home licenses.
