Been having this problem for a while now, haven't been able to fix it. I've tried 1.75, 1.80 betas and now the final relase...same issue. What's going on is the torrents will download fine for about a minute or two, then both upload and download speeds will go to 0 for a couple minutes, then it'll start transferring again; this repeats endlessly. I seed 50+ torrents in addition to downloading a few at any given time. One of the things I tried was removing Transmission completely, then re-adding all the torrents one by one. This was working fine until I got to about 15 or so torrents and the same things started happening again...so I'm thinking it has something to do with the number of torrents. I've since moved all the same torrents to utorrent and haven't had any issues so I'm pretty sure the issue isn't the OS, ISP, router, etc.
Some of my transmission settings in case it helps:
ul/dl capped about 20kb/s below max
multiple groups with multiple torrent file locations (4 total)
incomplete data in one dir, completed files in another
global max and max connections for new transfers at default 200/60
PEX and DHT enabled
Prefer + ignore unencrypted enabled
Blocklist enabled
Port manually forwarded, UPnP disabled

No change.

That's not the problem. Did you even read the first post?

Re: Issues with large numbers of torrents
I too am having the same problem. Torrents go, then stop. If i pause and unpause them, all the sudden I have them downloading. This keeps happening over and over.
Did not have this problem until I upgraded to 1.81.

Downgraded to 1.75 and the problem went away. 1.81 and 1.82 have a bug!

Ok so transmission will overload the router but utorrent won't?x190 wrote:User specific issues with 1.80+ releases have been well documented in many forum threads. The statement that you see this issue in v1.75 coupled with the mention of a 2 min. timeout suggests router overload, again something that has been documented in the forum.zoink wrote:That's not the problem.

Still sounds like an issue with transmission, not the router.
