[Q] Tethering + Bittorrent Help

---

I couldnt find anything through search so hopefully someone has the knowledge I need so badly .

I am tethering my Droid 1 to ubuntu 10.04 and when I start my Deluge(torrent client) everything works fine and speeds are great and around 800k/bs+. This runs solid for about two minutes and or 250mb d/l then my phone stops tethering. My phone doesn't drop WIFI the tethering just stops. I have to unplug the phone from the computer, close tethering, close wifi wait about 2 mins then start the wifi again and plug back into the computer for everything to work normal again.

I assume my droid needs to have max connections lowered or raised but I have no clue how to do this. Please help.


All specs

Phone: Droid 1
ROM: Cyan 7.0.3
Tethering app: "Wired Tether" & normal tether

OS: Ubuntu 10.04

of course using USB to connect phone to Tower (i have tired different cords)


This seems to happen once I have accumulated 250mb+ down. up is around 150mb

Please help

I've tried this on windows as well my phone will just stop teathering if I have large amounts of traffic anyone know to fix this?

Is this problem just with large amounts of data transfered via torrents or even via other means of file transfer (ftp/http/whatev)

just with torrents

torrents agressively open (and don't close) a lot of tcp connections and the phone acting like a router has to store all those connections. in the end it probably halts some software in your phone.

try lowering total number of allowed connections in your torrent client to one third of your current value, test, come back with a result.

So far so good, im past the 250mb down. Well listing to Pandora and active torrents open. Max connections where at 200 I lowered to 60. Thank you, everything seems to be working super good.


Do you know of a way (if even possible) to dump the connections my phone has stored without restarting wifi?

Don't really know, I've had this problem with my "router" (linux box) and it could be set to drop unclosed connetions withing shorter timeout. However I don't think this can be set on a phone so you will have to live with smaller number of connections
