I have been having allot of trouble with 4.10.0 loosing connection. I am doing some very heavy DL. I am DL 7 files at 700+MB connecting to between 6 to 10 per file average of 8.5 to 9 per file it will get up to 500KB/s for a short while then start drooping and drop and fluctuate between 200 and 300KB/s.

I have massinger running and the icon in the tray and I will notice it trying to sing in which tells me I have lost connection within a few seconds it will sign in again. In a few minutes it Will be sining in again but this time it will not succeed. I then get the LimeWire does not appear to have a active connection but it will continue to try and sign in. This all happens within 5 to 15 or so min.

The only way to get a connection again is to reboot my computer. After reboot I immediately have a connection. I originally thought it was my problem and it may be I just put a new AMD 64 X2 3800+ in and have been doing some heavy overclocking and tweaking. I checked my RWIN, MTU, TTL, Ping and tested all were set properly for my connection.

I then ran Frostwire and it ran for about a hour before it did it same version. The only difference was it only had 8 connections per file and would max out at around 300KB/s. I have tried it with BS/Lite but I could not get the DL speeds I could only get to 120KB/s and it did not loose connection. I will attempt BS/Lite again and hopefully I can get higher DL speeds so I can rule out my end.

Hope these help #2 is just after LW started and was connecting to hosts. #3 was just after messinger started trying to sighn in but LW still showing connection. #4 after messinger sighned in les than 2 min from #2. #4 LW running good I think. #5 LW droped from 500KB/s to under 200KB/s. #6 connection lost

There appears to be a direct correlation between # of simultaneous DL and disconnect problem. I can run 3 simultaneous DL varying between 350KB/s and 450KB/s for hours with no problem. But when I run 4 even if the KB/s # is lower which it is it appears that when #4 starts the KB/s starts drooping on the others they can be running steady at 100 to 150 per prior to starting #4 but drop to 60 to 110 after #4 starts.

Shortly after #4 starts within 5 min. I will totally loose connection at this point there does not appear to be any problem with the volume of KB/s thus far it appears to be # of DL. I am currently checking out limiting KB/s transfer rate will post results after I complete test.

What I found is that if I limit to 250KB/s I can run 4 simultaneous DL but if I raise the limit to 300KB/s I loose connection. I can run unlimited with 3 connections seeing DL at 500+KB/s. Let me know if you need stack traces running in different scenarios.
My current set up is.

I do not know that all of this is needed but what the hell is a test without a few stats

Very good, detailed observations. The more like these we have, the sooner we'll be able to address this nasty problem.

Sorry zab I can't get any of the other P2P apps to go fast enough to rule out my computer. I can get enough files going but I cant get above 120KB/s with any of them.
