Hi, after using utorrent (a torrent program like bittorrent or anustorrent) my internet remains fucked badly for many weeks afterward. Can any network specialist explain to me why this happens (in details please).
I share the internet with the neighborhood. There is a central server for this neighborhood that assigns me an ip, my external ip however is different. I had a similar problems when I used to be connected directly to an ISP trough cable connection. These were helped sometimes by resetting the modem and router.
I'm sure this problem is caused by utorrent, and not by the internet being clogged up by the neighbors internetting. Cheerios

Edit: It might also be if there is some kind of limitation of bandwith, so if you download a big file via torrent, you only have a very small amount of bandwith left for the rest of the month, so your internet starts lagging.
Dunno else.
I also have no limits, just too scared to phone and complains about it! :D
I remember him downloading utorrent back and adjusting those network settings.
If I remember correctly it was caused by connections attempts on the open port that is used by uTorrent even after uTorrent has been closed.
a small routher reset solves it
