Internet Performance Hit Using BitTorrent with a Linksys Router

I have a LinkSys WRT54G V2.2. I noticed when I'm using a Bit Torrent client with about 6 incoming and 6 outgoing connections that my internet performance goes down significantly. During this time I would be using about 150KB per second downstream and about 30KB per sec upstream. I know I have plenty of downstream bandwidth available but it appears that the router is choking on all the simultaneous connections being used by the Bit Torrent client.
Using the speed tests provided by www.dslreports.com I test my connection before using Bit Torrent and have about 600KB per sec downstream and about 60KB per sec upstream. After running the Bit Torrent client with about a half dozen connections incoming and out going using only 150KB downstream and 30KB upstream the speed test shows that I only have about 50KB downstream throughput and only about 6KB upstream throughput. It doesn't make sense that only that small amount of bandwidth is available when I'm not even using nearly that much.
I also tried the same test with a couple large downloads via HTTP, and my bandwidth shows the performance hit that I expect taking into account the actual bandwidth that I'm using.
Can anyone shed some light on what is going on here.

If you're utilizing BitTorrent I assume you're using Azureus or a similar client for your connections? Either way, by nature, BitTorrent files are transmitted via multiple connections over a wide span of users. Even if you arn't downloading your full bandwidth's worth, your client is continuously scanning for more connections to increase the speed at which your transfers are running. The numbers may add up to much less than your bandwidth, but there's quite a lot of background work that those clients are doing and not listing for you in a display. Even if that utilizes half of your bandwidth, 1/2 is quite a bit. I have the same issue, and have resulted in just using my torrents while I sleep or am at work.

I now have internet thru AT&T Uverse with their wireless router.....do I still need to use my Airport Express for my 2 MACS or can I just unplug it?

You can just unplug the express and use the Uverse wireless or ethernet directly to it.

I started to have connectivity issues with a linksys router. The linksys rep suggested ...Check from Apple if they have some particular ports for the Apple TV that we might need to open on the router, anyone have any suggestions for this?

Performance hit using "where" clause in the query

Hi All,
I am facing a huge performance hit in the java code when using "where" clause in queries. Following are the details:
1. SELECT * FROM Employee
2. SELECT * FROM Employee where employeeid in (26,200,330,571,618,945)
There is no difference in Query Execution Time for both queries.
Business Logic Time is huge in second case as compared to first one (ratio - 1:20).
Rows returned are more in first case as compared to second case.(ratio - 1:4)
Business Logic is same for both the cases where I iterate through the ResultSet, get the objects and set them in a data structure.
Does anybody know the reason of unexpected time difference for the business logic in the second case?

Since you're mentioning clustering your index, I'll assume you are using Oracle. Knowing what database you are using makes it a lot easier to suggest things.
Since you are using Oracle, you can get the database to tell you what execution plan it is using for each of the 2 SQL statements, and figure out why they have similar times (if they do).
First, you need to be able to run SQL*Plus; that comes as part of a standard database installation and as part of the Oracle client installation - getting it set up and running is outside the scope of this forum.
Second, you may need your DBA to enable autotracing, if it's not already:
http://asktom.oracle.com/~tkyte/article1/autotrace.html
http://www.samoratech.com/tips/swenableautotrace.htm
Once it's all set up, you can log in to your database using sql*plus, issue "SET AUTOTRACE ON", issue queries and get execution plan information back.
For example:
SQL> set autotrace on
SQL> select count(*) from it.ticket where ticket_number between 10 and 20;
COUNT(*)
        11
Execution Plan
Plan hash value: 2983758974

   2 - access("TICKET_NUMBER">=10 AND "TICKET_NUMBER"<=20)

          0 redo size
        515 bytes sent via SQL*Net to client
        469 bytes received via SQL*Net from client
          2 SQL*Net roundtrips to/from client
          0 sorts (memory)
          0 sorts (disk)
          1 rows processed
SQL> This tells me that this query used an INDEX RANGE SCAN on index TICKET_N1; the query can't do much better than that logically... In fact, the statistic "1 consistent gets" tells me that Oracle had to examine only one data block to get the answer, also can't do better than that. the statistic, "0 physical reads" tells me that the 1 data block used was already cached in Oracle's memory.
the above is from Oracle 10g; autotrace is available back to at least 8i, but they've been adding information to the output with each release.
If you have questions about sql_plus, check the forums at asktom.oracle.com or http://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=18
since sql*plus is not a JDBC thing...
Oh, and sql*plus can also give you easier access to timing information, with "set timing on".

How do i create a secure internet connection with my linksys router?

I'm having trouble creating a secure airport connection with my wireless "Linksys" router. How can I create a secure connection?

If using a Linksys router, contact LinkSys Customer Support and/or post in their forums.

Using AirPort Extreme with a linksys router--advisable?

I've been told that only 4 Windows Home version machines can connect at a time to any router so connecting AirPort through a linksys router and then to the modem will enable more Windows connections than AirPort Extreme alone (8 vs. 4). Is this true and if so, are there any drawbacks to setting it up this way? Will AirPort Extreme still function as well as if it is connected directly to the modem without a linksys router?

I've been told....
They are pulling your leg. The AirPort Extreme can handle up to 50 wireless connections. We have 30+ PC laptops running at my grandson's school all connected to one AirPort Extreme.
Don't know about the Linksys, but imagine that it is about the same. If you have the model number, check on a Linksys support area or post back and someone here may know.
What is possible.....is that someone configured a router to only allow 4 devices to connect. There are various ways that this could have been done.

How do I determine what's going on with my Linksys router, as far as network activity goes?

I've got a WRT610N Linksys router. I'm using the web-based access to access my rouer. That's nice, and all that, but when I get into it all I see is how to change settings, etc. I want to know how to see what sort of activity is going on with it right now. Not how to change settings, etc.

There is no such feature on the router.All you can see is the devices which are connected to your router under the DHCP Client table.

How do i extend my wifi with a linksys router?

I have a network set up with a time machine extending to 2 separate airport expresses. I am trying to use a linksys router in place of one airport express in order to capture a stronger signal. I can't figure out how to get the linksys to communicate with the time machine without using an ethernet cable. Does anyone know how to do this?

Bob is being polite.. Apple people are like that.. !
I am more the typical nasty windows support person.
Mate!!
It will never work..
You haven't got a hope. Apple build their stuff to make sure your wretched Linksys cannot even see the Time Capsule.. (they make confusing names as well. Time Machine being software.. Time Capsule being the box you are talking about).
If you can flash your model Linksys to DD-WRT then you might get it working using universal repeater mode.. but even if it works the stability of it is so poor you will find 30min torture preferable.
You can plug the Linksys into the Express by ethernet.. and use the Linksys in wan bypass mode and extend wireless that way.. although the point of doing what the express is already doing is moot.

Using AXs with a Gateway Router...help needed

For years my wife and I lived in a home which ran an AirPort Extreme for all our internet and music needs. We've recently moved into a new home which already had a DSL/Gateway wireless router installed (as part of AT&T's HomeZone packagge). After giving serious thought to my desire to have a new wireless sound system for my new home, I bought the following at the Apple store:
- Two AirPort Express;
- A Bose Companion 3 Series II powered speaker system; and,
- An iPod HiFi.
I've hooked both the Boze speaker & HiFi systems up to their own AirPort Express, and they sound great when I run my iTunes through my wireless system for +that particular+ AirPort.
The problem is is that I can't seem to get both sound systems to play simultaneously, nor can I connect to my internet (Gateway) and run either (or both) of these speakers.
Any hints as to HOW I can get music to both AirPorts while still being able to surf the net on my Gateway router? Is there a way to bridge both AXs to the Gateway?
I know...I'm a luuddite. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hello mrviognier. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Any hints as to HOW I can get music to both AirPorts while still being able to surf the net on my Gateway router?
Yes, you just need to configure the AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) in "client mode."
AirPort Express Base Station (AX) - Client Mode Setup
o Plug the AX into a power outlet.
o On your computer, join the wireless network created by AX.
o Open AirPort Admin Utility. (Mac users: Find it in /Applications/Utilities/. Windows users: On the Start menu, point to All Programs and click AirPort.)
o After AirPort Admin Utility opens, the name of your AX appears in the list. Select it, then click Configure.
o Enter the administrator password if prompted.
o Click the AirPort tab.
o Enter a name for your AX in the Name field. (This name is how it will appear in AirPort Admin Utility; it may be different from the AirTunes remote speaker name. (Note that AirPort Setup Assistant does not allow you to differentiate these names, but AirPort Admin Utility does.)
o If your AX does not already have an administrator password, click the Change Password button to enter one. This password can be different from any network password, and is used for just changing settings on AX.
o In the same pane, under the AirPort Network heading, change the Wireless Mode from "Create a Wireless Network (Home Router)" to "Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)."
o Type the name of the wireless network you want to join in the Network Name field. (Note: If you're using AirPort Admin Utility in Mac OS X, you may be able to choose the network from a pop-up menu. This is the name (or SSID) of your current wireless network with the Trendnet router.)
o If the wireless network is password protected, you will need to enter the password. (Mac users: Click Security Options, choose the level of password encryption from the Wireless Security pop-up menu, then enter the password. When finished, click OK. Windows users: Click Wireless Security, choose the level of password encryption from the Wireless Security menu, then click "Set WEP Password" to enter the password. When finished, click OK.)
o Click the Music tab to enter the name that will appear in iTunes as your AirTunes remote speakers. You can also enter a password to prevent others from streaming music to your speakers.
o Finally, click Update to send your new settings to AX.
Once the AX has had a minute or so to restart, it should join the existing wireless network, as indicated by its status light turning solid green.

Trying to establish a network with a Linksys router

Okay.
My family just recently bought a linksys Wrt54gs Linksys router. We are trying connect two laptops via airport card and a G3 iMac using an ethernet cable.
I tried following instructions on http://homepage.mac.com/car1son/initiallinksyssetup.html>THIS site. This ins't intructions for the exact router or computer we have but I figured it should work. The first thing we tried to do was set it up on the iMac, which has proven to be a real pain.
The instructions say to connect using DHCP and this is where our problems start. For a very long time we have been connecting using PPPoE. Our service provider was SBC. We can not connect using DHCP unless we disable PPPoE which means we can't connect at all.
When we try to connect using DHCP, it simply states that the server is not available.
Then I tried setting up the router using a browser. But it just wouldn't load and a message would come up saying it could not find the server.
I tried turning everything off, turning on the modem, then the router, then the computer and it still didn't work!
Please help!

um...sry...

Internet performance degrades over time with AirPort Extreme

Hello, we have an AirPort Extreme (802.11n) which is about two years old, and I've noticed lately that if I don't reset it for say, a month or so, internet speeds become extremely slow, and there is no way to regain normal speeds without resetting it... I was just wondering if this is normal for an AirPort Extreme, and also, could this be due to the age of the unit (i.e. do AirPort Extremes slowly lose performance over time, and is buying a new one the only answer)? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

U have to find a good channel.
on 2.4ghz this is 6 unless other routers in the area are using it. if so use another channel.
Other things that can interfere: Microwave oven, frige - any thing that emits em fields
5ghz is better.
vicinity of your laptop makes a big difference - i get up to 57Mbps on speedtest net in vicinity of time capsule @ 5ghz.
Best performance is on ethernet cable.
Hope this helps

Mac Pro Configuration : best performance config. using FCP with Doremi's Cine Export

What would be the best Mac Pro configuration option to bring up the most performance(speed) of FCP generating KDM(Key Delivery Message) and DCP(Digital Cinema Package) for cinema use?
Is new Mac Pro compatible with Doremi's Cine Export software? if not i would have to use the previous version of Mac Pro(tower) and would also need the best configuration for this one too!
here's the link for Doremi's Cine Export software - http://www.doremilabs.com/products/cinema-products/cineexport/
I'm not sure if the software above is compatible with FCP X version, because they used to support for FCP 7 only in the previous software...
Anyhow, I'm just starter and I don't have much knowledge about setting up post house, and so.. I'll be glad to take all the feed backs and recommandations from all of you(experts in post production)
Thank you

James,
CineExport has not yet been tested with the latest Mac Pro hardware but it has been tested with the latest Mac OSX Mavericks. There is no reason to believe it wouldn't work with the latest Mac Pro hardware. With that said, CineExport is mostly CPU dependent, so the fastest configuration with the most processing cores is recommended.
CineExport is a plug-in for Compressor, not Final Cut Pro. Therefore, it is compatible with FCP 7 and FCP X in the sense that you can use the FCP "Send to Compressor" option and export your DCP from Compressor (using the CineExport plug-in).

Performance issue using Universe with SNC connection

I had a dynamic dashboard using Live office > Webi report > Universe > Bex query which was working fine but we recently implemented SNC between Business Objects and SAP BW due to which the universe connection has been changed to use sign on connection. After changing the connection in the universe I am see a performance degradation refreshing the connections in xelsius dashboard. Earlier the connection refresh time was 6 sec now the refresh time is around 30 secs, Intersting thing is I have tryed refreshing the webi report the refresh time of the webi report did not change which is still less than 6 secs and I have also tryed refeshing the Live Office component directly in the design/spreedsheet mode of the xcelsius even here the refresh time remain same less than 6 secs.
The connection refresh time is bad only when I am in preview mode or if I deploy the swf to the business object server.
Xcelsius Version: 2008 (5.3)
BO Version: 3.1 sp2 fixpack 2.8
Thanks
