iv bn having problem with my internet and i almost threw the device into the longkang behind my house. A month ago i subscribed to iZZI (wireless broadband) and it works ok for a couple of weeks before the nightmare started to happen. The connection went solid for an hour and it died after that. It went down hill after that, it disconnected every 5 minutes. I did everything i could think of, including moving my computer nearer to the window and all. And the antenna doesnt help either, it made it worse even. I didnt have any problem receiving good signal (signal strength 100%) so are the other people whos staying at the same block. I lend to ernie whos using pc and it works fine on his machine. So, i thought it could be the hardware problem but most of people i talked to said mac has the most straightforward setting for internet. 2 nights ago i decided to do a little test to let my internet run without opening any application and guess what? it went on the whole night without any disconnection till the next morning. Last night i tested opening each application with the internet on. Safari: OK, Adium: OK, iTUNES: OK and Transmission: went kong after 2 minutes. So i called Chiang (izzi's tecnician). He told me izzi throttles p2p and asked me to reset my transmission setting to this:
DOWNLOAD SPEED: less than 40kbps
UPLOAD SPEED: 50% of download speed
ACTIVE TORRENTS: 2
SEEDING: 1
Ill try this tonite and see if it works. Fingers crossed!
after a lot of trial and error iv finally get it to work, i capped it to 10 KB/s for upload rate. it seems to do the trick (its really not a trick actually). Except in the weekend, when i launched the torrent client, i still experience dc, caused by busy traffic.
