Downloading issues: Problems with torrents and mirc -
01-22-2005, 08:34 PM
I have problems freezing and/or crashing when im downloading files via bittorrent or mirc. Its not something that happens all the time but it is annoying whenever it does happen. I have a 7 year old system that barely meets the requirements for windows xp, which i am running, if that info helps any.
Do you have SP2 installed? If so theres a feature in it that prevents a certain amount of connections per application, bit torrent etc make quite a few connections, so that can cause your system to stall. Theres a fix somewhere on the net for this. If you use SP2 tell me and i'll find it for you
No I dont have SP2. It's no a big deal though i've been dealing with the problem for years now i was just curious to see if anyone had any idea what the problem could be.
memory leakage on torrents is a problem. It uses a lot of resources especially on Azureus. Not really got a solution except i reboot every so often and restart the torrent. My PC after a day or two really starts to slow down. Hope that helps. Don't forget that your using Java for Azureus. You could try a later version ?
Hmm BitComet seems to work very well i've downloaded several files already using the program and i haven't crashed or froze once. I'll handle mirc some other time.
I appreciate everyone's input, thanks.
