Summary:  mlnet kills my cable modem

Original Submission:  Hi there,



I use mldonkey 2-5-3, binaries downloaded from homepage. Linux debian with 
kernel 2.4.21.



With a Cable modem Motorola Surfboard sb4200, after around 5 minutes of mlnet 
working, my cable modem does not work anymore. I cannot ping, www, e-mail... I 
reduced max_hard_download_rate, max_hard_upload_rate, max_opened_connections 
and max_indirect_connections to the minimum, but the problem still occurs. I 
have noticed that some people have this problem, and it seems we all have cable 
or adsl router. Any idea? Unfortunately, I have not seen any useful help for 
this important problem that happens to mldonkey and not to other p2p clients at 
any forum. I have seen that other people have the same problem, but no 
solutions.



Thanks,

Only newest firmware of Motorola Cable Modem fixed this problem - example: my 
http://192.168.100.1/mainhelp.html version 1.4.8.14 (and above) on the modem 
fixed this problem permanently

Unfortunately - only admin can upload this firmware - call now :)

Thanks for the ideas. Unfortunately, I still have the same problem. I deleted 
files.ini and file_sources.ini (I had to do a recover_temp, no problem), I 
changed the values suggested. I run mlnet, and after few minutes, my modem 
stopped working. I *think* that it looks like download rate and connections is 
not the problem, I feel like it is related to uploads. I have noticed that when 
I have been connected for a while, the problem occurs sooner that when I 
connect after several hours (maybe because more clients know how to connect to 
me?). Furthermor, if I do a netstat, I can see a lot of connections (more than 
50) from other computers with status SYN_RECV. If anyone has a suggestion it 
will be welcome (mayme something related to maximum upload connections or so?). 
Thanks in advance. I am sure many people will be happy to solve this annoying 
problem!

Set the following for testing (its just DSL *g*):



max_concurrent_downloads 32

max_opened_connections 384

max_upload_slots 10

max_connections_per_second 8

mtu_packet_size 1452

max_sources_per_file 256

use_file_history false

save_file_history false

max_clients_per_second 4

propagate_sources false

propagate_servers false



Delete all sources (clients) mld has already found in the .ini file before 
restarting since resetting max_sources_per_file does not alter runinng 
downloads. BT does not yet respect max_sources_per_file, so be careful.
