internet disconnects when using bittorrent - how to solve

The problem usually happens because your router can't handle too many connections at once.
Bit torrent programs like uTorrent open many connections at once to get total high speed in transfers.
Every router has its own limits to the maximum connections it can handle.
(Many routers can handle up to 255 connections only and even less than that)

To fine tune your bittorrent or emule or whatever P2P program you use to the maximum allowed, i suggest to do the following :

Set your P2P client to a very low amount of max connections in the settings.
I will demonstrate using uTorrent settings:

open options-> preferences , and then click 'bandwidth', you should see something like this:

start by setting both values to 25 and then download some popular file (just one).
Have a look at the total amount of connections you get by adding these 2 values:

(in the example above it is 120+55=177, where i set the max to 200, the remaining 23 connections can be uploads- which you should limit too - or connections being made at this moment)

now wait a few minutes see the connection is stable and then add 25 more to both settings above (while the download still continues) and re-check your connection download stability by waiting a few more minutes.

once you get a disconnections go back to the previous setting you had (if it disconnects at 200, then set it back to 175).

I found that my router, tplink WR641/2, can probably handle around the 200 connections.
Remember you have other connections in the house, including other computers/cellphones on the same router and the same computer browsing the web... so leave enough for everything.

Hope I helped !

pinnacle dvc 170 windows 7 64 bit

unfortunately, i saw on their site that they released a a driver for win7 but the 64 bit is only for older models not the dvc170:

they quote:
"Includes Windows Vista and Windows 7 drivers (for both 32 and 64 bit) for the DVC 100, 101, 103, 107 hardware NOTE: DVC130 and DVC170 don't have 64 bit drivers and can only be used with Windows XP and Windows Vista 32)"

very very hard to download - always download stops.

pinnacle capture hardware is really bad quality even on xp i had so many problems with it - i have it now for 5 years and i really never managed to operate it without it crashing my operating system.

ASP.NET/ASPX How to return a simple non-html response

After too much time waste for this issue, there is a trivial solution that many ppl miss.
Instead of trying to do
Response.Clear() / ClearContent() / ClearHeaders(), like many web solutions show you - but don't work !
Just go to the aspx page that was created by the wizard (not the code-behind .cs page), delete everything except for the first directive tag telling the server to parse the page in the aspx engine :
e.g.,

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="ajax.aspx.cs" Inherits="Appcident.ajax" %>

and in your code behind, just return a response, like:

Response.Write(pageResponse);

Response.AddHeader("Connection", "close");
