I know it's a dead thread, but I finally got my UPC to play nicely with multiple simultaneous connections (like torrents).
I have the wireless Cisco EPC2425, and this is what I did:
Click Options under Firewall on the modem's setup page, and disable IP Flood detection. My connection is working perfectly now

Have the same router/ISP.
Never had problems with UPC and torrent traffic before, and to the best of my knowledge UPC doesn't throttle torrent traffic.
New connection at new address with this router and I'd been having some problems.
Firstly, you need to set up port forward for torrents. More info here: http://netforbeginners.about.com/od/p/f/What-Is-Port-Forwarding.htm
Then you need to set upload and download limits, finding the right trade off between getting the best available speeds in and out, and not going too far and causing your connection to cut out.
I only noticed I was having an issue today, and am still playing about with my speed settings. FWIW, on a 25mbps I wouldn't recommend going above 60kb for outward traffic (and if you want to play it really safe, 20). Naturally, you need to get the download speed right to but the upload is the one that really needs to be set low as it can mess up your connection.
Good luck!

Really? I didn't start this thread. And not all of us use p2p and filesharing for illegal purposes, some of us need it for work! If admin have a problem, they can lock or delete the thread.
I found this because I was having a similar problem, it didn't solve it, but I shared what worked for me (this thread ranked high in google via a board reader).
One final note which nearly killed me, my client was set to randomise ports, so I had to manually set it to go for port 6881. Worth bearing in mind....

Admin, I was only replying to an open thread and sharing what worked for me. I apologise if I've broken any house rules here (the fact that it was open led me to think it was fine to reply, I know you are very strict in shutting threads down here). Bit like I said above, delete if you feel that appropriate. I replied in good faith and apologise if I've broken any protocol.
Well, good night to you all. 0 -
