Don't you find running Azureus it completely bogs your connection down and almost makes surfing IE impossible?

A mate of mine said the same thing, was okay for me though Mind you, I use Mozilla.

Having said that, I'm back to using ABC now because I was having problems with big downloads not completing correctly.

Yeah - don't get me wrong, I think its great, but I can barely use my connection while its running.

I have NTL BB, Netgear Router and my PC and my folks PC plugged into that. If Azureus runs on one PC, the nets bolluxed on that and the other PC, though Azureus/WinMX/Kazaa etc all still run, and I can run them on the other too, just times out the net though........

For the net thats IE, Opera, Gamespy etc

Bit of a pain in the *** really! Just tend to leave the folks one on all night instead since its in a room by itself!

I used to find thats Azureus completly killed my browsing speed, I just limited my upload speed so it isn't sapping my whole connection & it's fine now

I use Azureus and browsing is usually fine, but use it in conjunction with Net Limiter and you can cap the upload/download speeds easily.

Hello

Thank you for recommending Net Limiter. It's great! I just use the "normal" Bit Torrent client and I can now limit the uploads to 10kb/s whilst I am using the internet for work.

Steve.
