Edwiniw, you were saying your problem was resolved by upgraded to the latest firmware build 019, i don’t quite understand, is it a upgrade to windows or to the Aztech DSL605EW ??

I had the same symptom. To be more specific, it was the Aztech DSL605EW router modem hung after run BitComet, but not Steamyx cutoff internet connection.
I spent half a day to try on NAT/Firewall configuration, but without success. Finally this was resolved by upgraded to the latest firmware build 019.

Nope. I switched to utorrent instead. Although it is slightly slower than bitcomet. The max I get from utorrent is only 20+ kb/s download. I could reach up to 40+ to 50 with bitcomet but utorrent is more stable.

Hi, did you solve the bitcomet problem?

I’m having the same problem (streamyx cut off) after i installed my new wireless router (aztech DSL-605-EW)..

But everything is working fine with my old aztech DSL-600-E (just that it’s little bit slow)..

@GeminiGeek
Yeah, I read at the utorrent website saying that some Linksys is having issues with the software. When I did my internship in PJ some time back, I had no problem downloading at 70+kbps using BitComet. That’s why I’m not sure why I’m having problems now.

Bitcomet uses more connection than utorrent, base on my experience. To prevent this to happen, you can set your client to use less connection per torrent, and disable DHT altogether. This may help a little, but in the end, this issue is usually the modem or router problem.

Certain modem or router sucks at handling multiple connection. My Linksys WRT54G is one of it. Whenever I launch uTorrent, everyone in the network disconnected. However, I manage to solve the problem by using DDWRT firmware, which works wonder.
