can p2p stuff like utorrent affect the performance of my server on a dreambox? thanks in advance
-

a dreambox uses about 50Kbs so i doubt it
-
mine does tbh and i dont know why maybe the router cant distribute the load correcty,but it only effects the likes of sky italia ect if utorrent is on my picture glitches and freeze's turn utorrent off it is fine
its not really a problem if there is somthing i really want to watch i just have to turn the downloads off for a bitComment

It definatley happens. Unless you use a router with QOS (quality if service) meaning you allow more traffic for that port.Comment

It has a massive affect on your dreambox as your sending out requests for keys so if your using all your upload speed on rubbish p2p then you wont get your valuable codes. thus making your CS jump like mad.
Ive had this on a good few of my m8s boxes and had to make them aware about using p2p not only is it rubbish but it also kills your bandwidth.Comment

could it be anything to do with my router? im using the standard bt home hub. what router would u recommend if so? i have uninstalled my utorrent and it was still glitching through the footie 2nite.Comment

It will glitch threw busy times as more ppl will use there box to watch the match = higher ecm timesComment
-
is there anything i can do to make this situation better? if i got a new router would it help?Comment
-
The only thing you can do is try a different sever first off as that may be the main culpritComment

I had the same issue. I am using utorrent. A temporary fix is to limit the upload of your p2p. I suggest limit it to below 10kb/s for the times you want to watch tv.
Big upload numbers suffocate the whole bandwidth thus limiting download too, meaning that your dreambox will suffocate too.
hope it solves your problemComment

Anything that uses bandwidth on your networkComment
