For some reason my internet connection dies every 5 1/2 hours. If i am downloading something on bittorrent while this happens the screen that shows the % complete stalls and doesnt continue downloading even after my internet connection automatically connects itself. I have to close the bittorrent window and open it back up to get the download going again. Is there any way around this? I thought someone might be able to help. I am not around to close and re open every 5 1/2 hours, so it takes so long to download shows that its not even worth doing. The only place i can download from that resumes automatically after my internet connection dies is SHNapster on DC++, but there isn\'t any PB over there.
chris - you have dsl??
BT *should* start the download back up again.. are you using the latest version of Shadow\'s client? my connection drops every once in a while as well, but always starts right back up.. lemme know..
I have a few modems a few phone lines hooked up to the same computer so i can download at a decent speed. i cant get dsl or cable or anything fast where i live.
I probably have an old bittorrent client because i installed it long before it was popular on pbfans.com or before pbfans.com even existed.
Bittorrent isnt even worth using. My computer is hooked up to two 56k connections and the best i can get 1-2 kB/s because its uploading so much. I wish people still had ftp sites. its not even possible to download on dialup with all these people on cable and dsl trying to download from me.
