instructions on how to change the wireless channel, usually involves you logging into your router via a webrowser then changing the channel from the list in there | |

flushing dns wont sort it, sounds like something interfereing with your wireless, try changing the wifi channel on your wireless point and the laptop. | |

I don't use torrents (on desktop or laptop) - I use newsgroups on my desktop sometimes but not my lappy - so I'm not hitting any download limits that my ISP may of imposed. | |

quote: yes they block the default ports used by torrent clients, just change your port and test it is getting out. if you use utorrent you can encrypt it but the ISPs can still find out what your doing. | |

Some providers cut you off if using certain torrent clients. | |

If you download a say 2gb file from a torrent client or whatever your computer will allocate 2gb of space saved for the download. If theres not enough space the download will trip off. | |
