My edonkey generally gets about 40-50k/sec download speed, but whenever i play game in fullscreen mode(warcraft3, medieval total war, stronghold, etc) the download speed will drop to like 1-2k/sec always.

Can anyone help?

Download speeds drop when you're playing single player games?

Are these online games that use up bandwidth?

There should be no reason why that should happen, but edonkey is a high priority program and uses quite a bit of memory.

Maybe you should just close edonkey while playing games and leave the donkey running at night.

edonkey is really sensitive to excessive background processes. it happens w/ me as well, not only w/ games in fullscreen.
that happens less frequently w/ others p2p progs
