Okey... so i dled something called bittorrent a long time ago, downloaded some file and it worked.
Some time after that a friend msged me that i had to start watching anime, so he sent me Naruto episodes 1-10. Oki, i tested it but somehow my comp freezed several times and it dident work. I thought it was becuse of bittorrent so i never tried it again. I think i have downloaded some few other files since then and it have worked good.
Now, i want to get those damn files again. So i downloaded ABC client and started!.
It worked good.. i also had another file going at the same time, both around 30-100kb/sec, then.. it happen. The dl goes down pretty fast, computer freezes temporarly for 7-15sec's 3-4 times. Then, my internet's gone.. im not happy and reminded of my old problems.
Okey, so i reboot and resume like 2 times and the same things happen.
Now i start searching on google and find some posts about other clients blabla, so i tried Ordinary torrent, bittornado (or whatever the name is), Some Alzblabla java that dident even start (so many diffrent stuff i needed i dident even try hard). All, the same thing happens!. Browse the net some more, and the same time i resume download all the time.. it crashes again n again so it makes my surfing annoying since i got to reboot evvery 30 minutes. So i see something about upload ratio blabla, so i put in 40upload max and 75% bla and max 60 peer connection (now i got it on 40).
Oh, i forgot to mention: i do NOT have any antivirus/firewall/router/zone alarm. Or anything connected between my internet and computer axcept the cord from the computer to modem and from modem to the hole in the wall. Now, it dident work,, the files i tried to download was Naruto 1-10 and/or 11-20. Tried diffrent configuration of upload and peer crap. So finally i thought it may be wrong with the files i tried to download.. so i tried some random torrent file. Before this i had checked the time it takes for the download to freeze, its around 20 mins. The solo torrent worked for over 40-50 mins. Great! so then i got naruto 11-20 on the wagon, then after maybe 10-20 mins. It stopped again.. so i tried another config thing to the one i got atm (wich is what i said before, 75% DL ratio, max upload rate: 40kb/s, mad uploads: 3, Max peer connections: 40.). And re-started the solo non-naruto torrent, it works!. Atleast for 50mins until i got another file on it .. and it stopps yet again.
AArgh.. so theres where i am now, downloading one single torrent and it havent stopped yet (think its been going for 20-30 mins now).
Conclusion: nothing ive read about and done with the config doesent seem to work,, it takes around 20 mins before it happens, wich i think its wery strange. And only when i got 2 or more simultaneous(damn english words ^^) downloads going. No antivirus, no firewall, close all programs or any procces thing.. no change!.
I got Windows XP Home Edition
Some cable/broadband thing going through the TV-network called Chello/UPC 1,5mbit DL and 0,4 mbit upload.
No antivirus/firewall or other proggs ive read about that can stop torrent.
WHAT IS IT!? i can look at my modem and see if the lighs are still flashing, so i do that after the internet crashes. And they do, so its something with the computer.
Notes: The computer can still be used, it only freezes for a shoort time when the dl is about to hit 0. I dont think its becuse of 100% cpu usage since it takes 20 goddamn mins before it happens. some OS config i have to change? WHAT?. Im going totaly insane!!!.
Its kinda long post, and i wanted to get everything in it. And my english ain the best, so it got a bit sloppy. And im a bit angry atm. But my replys after ive got answers are usally better organised, so if something i wrote strange, tell me and ill answer and explain a bit better.
