I have had this problem for awhile and have never understood it:
when I run utorrent my outbound connection is completely saturated even when my upload and download are capped at like 10k. Actually just starting utorrent clobbers my connection just as connections are being established. I can barely get to the astaro webadmin from the internal network (many many refreshes). However I can get to it just fine from the external network. QoS doesnt seem to do anything for the problem. I definetly need more ram for v7 (512mb has me at 75%+ utilization), but otherwise I think my hardware should be fine. However I have an older 10/100 quad pci nic based on the DEC 21142/43. Could this be the problem? My connection works fine when the astaro box is not in the path btw. Also I usually only have 2 clients on my network. Thanks for any insight.
Hardware:
Athlon XP 2400+
512mb dual channel ram
80gb eide 7200rpm disk
4port pci 10/100 DEC 21142/43 nic
