Bittorrent problems (Active connection limit?)
neb:
I've had no problems with this router until running a bittorrent client (Azureus). As soon as Azureus is running, all other Internet applications (web browser, email) stall when trying to access the Internet.
I know it's not my computer, because I never experienced this with my old router. I've got the port forwarding set up correctly. Is the EBR-2310 slow at port forwarding?
I've also limited upload bandwidth (in Azureus configuration) to one third my maximum (lower than I used to have to go). This seemed to alleviate some congestion, but still a problem.
Then I dropped Azureus's total max connections from 800 to 400. This seemed to help a little, but not great. Is there any kind of active connection limit documented for the EBR-2310?
I also experimented turning on/off the QoS Engine in the EBR-2310 (suspecting it might be mistakenly prioritizing bittorrent traffic over http web connections). That did not seem to have any affect.
Anyone else experience bittorrent swamping their EBR-2310?

Here are some research resources, but no resolution found yet:

EBR-2310 not (yet) listed under known bad bittorrent/azureus routers, but other D-Link routers are. Reducing max connections has NOT helped.

Notice that my max connections were WAY high (800 vs. recommended 167). Still, limiting connections has not helped. Whenever Azureus is run, all other internet traffic stalls. Any other help greatly appreciated.

Is there a port forwarding tutoring site for those of us who are technologically challenged? I can't get emule to work even after manually inputting the ports. Help!!
neb:
The first step to successful port forwarding is knowing:
* Port number(s) and/or ranges needed for the application
* Internal (LAN) IP address of computer to forward to
The EBR-2310 can make that second part tricky:
Are you using the EBR-2310 to dynamically assign IP addresses to your internal (LAN) machines? That is, are your internal computers configured to use DHCP (versus static IP addresses)?
neb:
By the way, read my new post on the EBR-2310's lack of DHCP Static Reservation, which explains why DHCP with port forwarding is likely to fail on this router. You may need to fall back on static IP assignment to get port forwarding to work consistently.

I hope this helps you understand the issues. If you have other port forwarding questions about this router, I encourage you to start a new topic in this forum.
