I have a 6mB/800kB connection through a Toshiba PCX2600 modem, spread to four computers (three wired, one wireless laptop) with a Linksys WRT54G v2 router (firmware's up to date). After about an hour or so of running Azureus/BitTorrent/uTorrent/etc., the connection slows until eventually all I get are timeouts on all the computers. The computer using the P2P program has the TCPIP.sys patch applied, and all necessary ports are open.
Oddly, uTorrent's port-checking tool is saying the port isn't open (http://utorrent.com/testport.php?port=65532). It's being forwarded in my router's settings and through Windows Firewall, so why uTorrent.com can't get in, I have no idea.
I've done a fair bit of reading, and I'm thinking now that it might be that my modem is being a piece of crap. However, that port thing is odd and I'm wondering if maybe that has something to do with it...
Any suggestions at all would be appreciated.
Thanks.
