Downloads suddenly pause

[sebfernando]

Its really wierd. When im downloadin normally, my downloads suddenly pause, and the program hasn't crashed and neither has windows. Its the download itself has paused itself. Then i have to click resume, and it hs to re-check the hash etc.... This happens to all the BT progs i use!!
Can someone please help me!!

Thanks

I havn't heard of the MPAA or RIAA doing anything as drastic as taking out firewalls or pausing downloads. They usually stick to sending out letters.
It's strange that it happens on all clients. Some have the option of pausing downloads if they don't connect to the tracker for a set time, but even then that is only to get queuing downloads started.

You can't disable a firewall remotely when doing it legally without getting a federal search warrant with proper cause, the last time I checked. Those cost money and take a lot of time. So, by the time theyd get a warrant, youd be done with your movie/music.

But I doubt this happened.

All pissing aside. . . .

If you are HELLA downloading, and no matter what BT client that you use . . then common sense tells you, that it is something in your O/S, or networking thats to blame, it might EVEN be your Broadband modem.

Stop guessing and get some facts.

First off, View, Save, then CLEAR your Event Logs.

Consider whether there are other factors, such as another program that hits 100% CPU usage, maybe when you launch, or your firewall is hosing up. Maybe youre trying to use BT and another P2P client at the same time *snicker*

Run lean and clean, watch what where and when.

What TIME does this occur? Did you know that your broadband can quite temporarily EVERY DAY . . when its time to renew the lease? ipconfig /all

Let these fine diagnosticians assist you further by providing more information for them to work with.

U beeze usin router? = slang for the masses
::are you using a router to link your broadband connection via wireless/wired link to multiple computers::

Also, do you have the hard drive room to complete the download?

[sebfernando]

Ok, my downloads that suddenly pause has nothin to do with the riaa, mpaa, or my hardisk filling up or my firewall. When the downloads pause, the cpu usage is at max 100%. When it is at 100%, nothin crashes, not windows and not the BT prog, just that the download puses. Is there neway of limiting the cpu useage, or i was thinking i could put the download at lowest poirity, and see what happens.

Thanks to all the peeps who relplied!!

Hi, newbie here. I've got a similar problem with BT's run on shareaze. I'm running on 1mb with download set at 512 and upload at around 65 average. The download(s) keeps freezing. Everything uploading is 'choked'. I can't search and my PC states no signal in or out. I can still run K-Lite etc when this happens but when I logout and go back to my BT's same problem. Grateful for advise. Best C

Sorry just embraced more of thread above. No firewall issues that are flagged, no hard disc probs, modem & line fine and as I say still can d/l off other sites. Also little ADSL traffic in my area. Happens on all file sizes. Can see others upload when I can't d/l.

What do you mean by "freeze"? Do your downloads just stop downloading? Do they pause like sebfernandos? If it is a case of you getting snubbed or choked, then check the link in my signature.

Cheers MI. I spotted this link just after posting and will be going home to run it through this weekend. Bit of a tech moron so firewalls are usually beyond me but this seems prittyy idiot proof. I'll feed back over the w/e. Tx for the help. C

[sebfernando]

I dont thinnk this 'pause downloads' has anything to do with firewalls, choked clients, small hard drive, virueses or nething like that. This isn't downloads slowing down, this is downloads puasing them selves, not crashing nething or freezin nethin. This has somethin 2 do wit the 100% cpu usage

[Krell]

Great, 100% . . . are you talking about the BT client using 100% ? You still havent supported your case, I charged you with providing proper information so that these people can help you.

Supposing that you are watching Task Manager, and have arranged the process by CPU usage AND youve observed this phenomena, is the the client, or Explorer.exe? If your so certan that youre going to rule out everything youve mentioned, than Dr Watson, whatever is left must be the answer.

You have'nt stated that you scrutinzed your Event logs, or told us your system specs, for all I know, your a masochist running a p.o.s. system suffering under your maniacal BT jollies.

Do your homework, and cough up some legit info, and I will help you further.

thanks for that carolinawolf, that was helpful........not.

Newayz Krell, Ok yer your right, i haven't supplied much info on the prob. Here is all the info on the prob .lol.:

PC SPEC:
Fijutsu Siemens
Pentuim 4
1.4GHz
768 PC133 SDRAM
120GIG HD
OS: Windows XP

The Problem:

1. Open ABC 2.6.1
2. Open a .torrent that i downloaded of the internet
3. Turns different colours before turning green, downloads normal.
4. Download speed increase slowly till max, upload speed increases till max
5. After 10mins, the download puases, Nothin freezes or crashes, just the download pauses
6. I have to reume the download, for the download to start transfering again

I have attached some pics when the download pauses:

| screen shot 1 (ABC) |
| Screenshot 2 (task manager) |
| Screenshot 3 (Task manager CPU) |

Emmm thats pretty much alll the info i can give, i looked if abc did a log file, but couldn't find nething.

Thanks

Seb


p.s if anyone has the problem, where they cant use their internet after using any bit torrent program, you can solve this by lowing the upload speed.

Had the same problem too, try what I did, in ABC go to Action> ABC Preference>Advanced setting and at the bottom of that, set the Max peer connections to 60. Been using it for about 3 days and not one lockup.
