you should notice in the event log under System a good few tcp/ip logs when running p2p programs! | |

Cheers Paul, my PC runs Windows 2000 Professional and the other PC runs Windows XP SP2, so when the other PC is used for downloading I will see if there are any further problems with it, but I tested it earlier and it seemed to be so far so good. | |

XP sp2 only limits half open connections a second. | |

Another thing to check Sam is the tcp/ip stack, as XP SP2 limits it to 10 connections at the same time... | |

I've sorted the port mapping out on the router and given static IP addresses to each PC as well, and lowered the upload rate on the BT clients on each PC, now it all works fine and both PCs can simultaneously download/upload torrents. :D | |

Sam, have you got the latest firmware for the router? I had a similar problem with mine even though port forwarding was set up, upload capped, max connections wasnt ridiculous etc. Upgraded the firmware which still didnt help till i did a factory reset after too, and now im getting 300kB/s+ on torrents and browsing fine at the same time. :thumbs: | |

Sam - ideally to use torrents, you need to set up port forwarding on the router, otherwise you will be snagged by connection issues which will cause the slow download speeds. | |

Use bitlord to download torrents and then you can easily lower your upload speed to 2kbs like a cunt :) | |

Whats your upload set to for your torrents? If you stop the torrents, does browsing pick up again? | |

Basically here we have a Netgear wireless ADSL modem/router with two PCs connected to it - one by ethernet cable, the other wirelessly. |
