Brian, After your post (and several others), I tried BitTorrent out on my network (sparc64 router + DOCSIS 2.0 cable connection; see http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=120019379210857&w=2)
After some experimentation, I was able to determine that running BitTorrent with a large number of connections causes a huge increase in latency regardless of bandwidth. No one seems to know why this is, but that might just be because my thread got buried by trolls and other posts. I'm not having watchdog timeouts but there is an off chance that the latency increase that I experience and your timeout problem may be related. My work around is to use the max-src-states feature of pf to limit the number of bit torrent connections to a reasonable number (50 seems to be a good trade-off on my machine, YMMV). Could you modify your pf.conf to do this (or limit your connections at the client and use pf to confirm) and let us know if that works on your end as well? --MHC On Jan 5, 2008 1:22 PM, Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is there any suggested PF setup when using BitTorrent? > > Right now, the biggest problem I have when using BitTorrent is watchdog > timeouts. > > Thanks, > > Brian > > > > > > ____________________________________________________________________________________ > Never miss a thing.
