Torrent Trouble

[Matt_117]

For a long time now I have been using the original Bit Torrent application to download stuff. But over the last few weeks during all downloads, the download and upload decrease right down to 0, and crash Windows Explorer. This is very annoying as I cannot restart the download, and I have to turn the system off, then turn it back on again, as I have no reset button on the case. :mellow

This has also happened with Personal Torrent Collector (PTC) and Bit Tornado.

What is the problem, and what is the cure? Any help would be appreciated, cheers. :gj

Are you using the latest version of BitTorrent? Older versions dont work anymore or something...

All the ones I have used are the latest versions. This problem has only been happening for a few weeks. I just don't understand it.

Well assuming your using Windows XP, to correct Windows when explorer crashes.. hit Ctrl+Shift+Esc and then click "new task" and type explorer.exe for it to come back. However, I do not know why it is happening. Perhaps someone else will know.
