Problems with torrents affecting internet

Koenig · November 19th, 2007, 2:16 AM

This is a weird problem and has been affecting me ever since i got my new computer. Whenever I try to use a torrent program (doesn't matter which one), it kills my net and I can't browse at all. It's like I'm not connected to the internet at all, EXCEPT, I can still play WoW while torrenting, I can still use MSN, and my torrents are all healthy. I just can't use the web.

Anyone know what's going on?

Lower the number of max connections in your client (to like 75-100).

You'll also probably want to deal with Win XP SP2's stupid half-open limit: http://torrentfreak.com/optimize-you...ownload-speed/
