Transmission BT rebooting my ADSL modem

QuantumKnot · #1 13th January 2011, 06:58 AM

I seem to have this problem where every time I open Transmission, it reboots my ADSL modem. I've tried setting the maximum number of peers (globally and per torrent) to a very low number (10 and 5, respectively) but it still does it.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I deleted the ~/.config/transmission directory and now it seems to be ok. Seems easy enough.

OK, looks like it didn't help. Every time I start Transmission, it goes and reboots my modem

one thing you can try that will drastically cut down on router traffic and see if that fixes your problem...

In your transmission setting, disable DHT and PEX, also disable local peer discovery. (they are all check boxes on the Privacy tab, make sure they are unchecked)

Sounds like a bug in the ADSL modem.

What vendor is that?
And can you ask for another?

My ADSL modem is a Siemens SpeedStream 4200. I've tried downgrading to Transmission in Fedora 13, since it never happened....see how it goes.
