Connection lost after finishing a torrent download

zyxon · 2012-01-28 17:14:19

Hi!

Everytime i finish downloading a torrent i get cut off from the internet. Every conncetion that ran while the torrent was downloading is still up, but i can't open any new ones. What this means in practice, is that after the torrent finishes I cannot open a webpage or ping, etc. I do not get a error message, just a blank page with my browser trying to load the page. This takes about 5-10 minutes, than its back up normal again.
My router is fine since I can still use the internet with any other device while having this error on my PC. I only have this when using Arch.

How can I fix this? I'm now trying to lower the maximum connections in my torrent client to see how that affects my problem. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Care to share which client you are using?

Sure, I'm using ktorrent, but this occured with every client I tried.

I am a little out of me league here, but... After your client closes, look at the output of sudo netstat -pl --numeric-ports and see if ports are still assigned to your client. Be careful posting the full output of that, it can reveal a lot about a system.

What does your network architecture look like?

Just checked, with the maximum connections lowered to 30, I have no open ports left open for ktorrent after closing it.. I don't really understand your second question

As to the architecture, I was just trying to find out if you are using wired or wireless? whether you have a local router? Can you administer that router? whether you are behind a corporate firewall? if you are using a DSL or cable modem? maybe 3G or 4G wireless networks? Are you Bridged or NAT? Is this a real client or is it a VM? etc...
Just looking for clues.

Oh, ok. I am using wired, I do have a local router which I can administer. I am not behind any firewall except if my ISP has one which I am not sure about. I'm using DSL. As I said it's wired (WiFi works well even if wired is stuck). NAT, and real client.

When you say you have no ports left open are you saying the connections are closed or are they all still being used by the torrent client?

Under no ports left open I mean that they no longer appear in the list of netstat.
