Bit Torrent tcp connection over-run
I suspect this issue relates to the way I've set-up the router (limiting number of connections on the inbound NAT to my torrent port), but has anyone had issues with an XP stack running out of available sockets when running bit torrent?
Event viewer tells me to go look for malicous apps creating lots of SYN_SENT's, and I suspect the return packet confirming negotiation is being blocked by the router. It's only happened once, and I can't do anything interactive as OS freezes when it happens (tcp stack falls over, basically). I'll need to set up logging to capture it if it becomes persistent.
Best would be to limit the number of connections overall within the BT client, but I don't see anywhere to set this up? But I haven't checked on each torrent yet to see whether I can limit things - is this the more normal place to do so?
Thanks, Richard
