    Hi!
    When I download torrents with bitlord or Opera my computer starts loading web pages extremely slow. IE hangs imediatly, opera doesn't load it (0%) and chrome loads web pages extremely slow, or sometimes it doesn't load. Spotify, live messenger and other applications work perfect. I have no idea what is wrong, it is like that both on home wlan and on school lan. upnp is enabled on my home wlan router and in bitlord. I suspect some settings in my computer is wrong. Please, come with suggestions to help me fix my problem;)
    Greetings

    Sounds like you are flooding your connection, try limiting your download speed, upload speed and the number of connections - and only 1 torrent at a time.

    Be aware that many ISP's throttle users of P2P software.

    Windows XP SP2/3 and Vista also have a strict limit on the number of half-open TCP connections.

    Thanks for your reply;)
    Even if the download is paused websites won't work, but music streaming spotify works. My ISP have nothing like that, my friends with the same subscription don't have problems. It most likely is my computer. But how do I fix the port problem? I am not too good with computers... :-o
