Internet stops working when using Transmission

[FrenchDavid]

Hello,

I've been using Transmission for years, but since a couple of days, internet stops working when I download torrents with Transmission. Actually, all computers on my home network can't load internet pages while I use Transmission. I have no clue why this is happening, like I said I've been using Transmission for so long with no problem at all.

I tried to limit bandwith and the number of peer connections, but that hasn't solved anything.

Any idea / help ?

AM I the only one having this problem ? I can't explain why it happened all of a sudden.
I updated Transmission to 2.76, then I started to have those problems. I went back to 2.75, but it hasn't changed the problem.

I use the latest version of Mac OS X, Transmission, Firefox, Safari, and Google Chrome (same problem on all three browsers when downloading torrent with Transmission)

I'm having a similar problem.

I'm using Ubuntu Studio v12.10 and Transmission v2.61. I don't have any hibernation or suspend set up - I've turned them off.

While I'm running Transmission, if I use the PC, I keep my internet connection. Even if I'm not using a browser or any other internet program. As long as I use the PC, for anything, the internet connection stays up.

If I stop using the PC (I haven't determined how long is required for this effect, I just know that hours later, this is true.), after an undertermined length of time, my PC loses its wireless connection to my router and can't get it back unless I reboot. In addition, Ubuntu Studio won't shut down correctly (it hangs), forcing me to reset the PC. Once that is done, I have my wireless connection again.

None of this happens if Transmission is not running.

Update: Seems I can avoid the loss of my internet connection and keep transmission running if I turn off the screen hibernation and shut-off settings. For some reason, that allowed my internet connection to remain and transmission to run overnight. Too weird.

Update (again): But, it didn't last. The very next day, I lost internet connection again.

Try disabling DHT and uTP and see if that makes any difference.

Sometimes routers can't handle the load generated by the volume of different kinds of network traffic generated by p2p

I have the same problem. first I thought to be a conection problem, but when i run transmission while using firefox, the latter stop loading pages (even if there is no leechin or seeding). if I quit from transmission and reload the page on firefox, it does without any trouble.
hope you can help.

Ubuntu 12.04
transmisson 2.51 (13280)
firefox 18.0.2

I thought I was alone but the same happens to me. Its random but when I have transmission downloading something, sometimes the connection will periodically go out for about a minute. Weird thing is, it seems to only affect what I'm using for transmission from what I gather

I have the same Problem.

Running on Mac OSX 10.8.2

I have turned the options mentioned before, and nothing seems to resolve this issue.

Does anyone know if a ticket has been opened for this?
