Hey everyone, I need some help this has never happened to me before. Im running bit tornado, It used to work perfect with constant speed of at least 50kb/s lately tho after about 5 minutes everything dies first by upload then my download they both drop to 0 and then nothing happens, then if i try and close bittorent it crashed sometimes crashing my system. I do have a firewall Zone alarm, and my virus scanner is avast home but It doesn't scan bittorrent. Anyone know why im getting this problem thx. Oh ya and im running cable internet 1.5 mb dl

My Standard Advice: Trash ZA 5 and install another firewall, I suggest Sygate. There are known problems with Zone Alarm and BT.

Im just confused as to why it worked perfect before and why zone alarm would all of a sudden be a problem for it. Thats why im wondering if its really zone alarm

Would my isp be able to block it somehow? I shut off zone alarm and it still dies.

Hey, bit tornado has another updated client.. It just came out.. Update that and maybe they have fixed issues with zone alarm or would be more consistent.

BT works perfectly on my Pc with ZA,
Try without ZA;
-if you still have the same pb try an other BT client
-or look at your settings in ZA.^^
