Re: Torrents killing my conection

The why does it succeed when XP is the client, and for me when the torrent is "non-pirate"?


Well, for one, XP is a castrated OS (the notorious limit on concurrent 'half-open' connections being just one of its many self-imposed limitations); if you could castrate your Debian in a similar way, it would probably become just as router-friendly, the question is, who'd really *want* a Debian that was *that* powerless. As for why it succeeds with "non-pirate" torrents, two possibilities come to mind: firstly, these torrents may be more correct/compliant, and the trackers may be more stable than the "pirate" ones; secondly, it could be related to the number of active p2p connections that get established for a particular torrent (you'll hardly overload a router with only a couple of active peers).

Just my 2¢
