Getting Slow Downloading Speed While Using Bit-torrent?
May 8, 2008
I'm having a problem with Windows.Download speeds are really slow.For example, i download @ 30KB/s from rapidshare! Thats really slow!And i have run a lot of tests and my computer is NOT infected. I have no programs using my bandwidth,when im not downloading anything, Windows says there are no connections open and there are no transfers.Now, i do get to download at full speed using Orbit but downloading without it takes ages.If i have to update a program, it takes ages
I have been having problems with my computer and a frend told me to download Windows XP OEM SP2 using a torrent website and UTORRENT. However, i'm not sure if my computer is OEM or not, so if I downloaded OEM version, would this mess up my computer even more? Or shall i just download Windows XP SP2?
How can i Boost up my PC speed and downloading speed,Although i used some Optimizers but it also occupy my disks memory spaces and speed down the OS similarly for Booting Time.
Have only tried this on XP Pro but it works great. Decreased my login time from 2mins to 15secs. Increased my network speed (ex. 170MB file took 15-20min. Now the same 170MB file takes less than 2mins). WOW!Here it is... Go into your network properties and then into your TCP/IP settings. Add your Server's IP address as Prefered DNS Server. Then select you Advanced button, go into your WINS tab and insert your Server's IP address for your WINS address as well. Reboot the system and you SHOULD see a difference. I have already tried this on several systems and have seen the same increase in speed
opera is capturing all my torrent downloads but i dont want that to happen. I have another client i wish to use (utorrent). i have checked the file associations in windows and utorrent they are right. ? BUT opear still claims them? i have checked the plug-ins in opera and cant see anything for torrents?
I am having trouble with IE running slow. Get alot of Page not found and have to click it 2-3 times to get pages to load. I was thinking of downloading Firefox, but not sure if that is the problem. If its the explorer.
My HP Pavilion 750n is running really slow online, and I have a high speed connection. It's not too bad when I'm not on the Internet, but websites open really slow, and some of them just quit before they even load. I was gonna run a registry cleaner, but then I saw on here that it isn't recommended! I was using Norton, but recently uninstalled that and installed AVG, which I ran as well as Adaware; neither found any major problems. I posted a HijackThis log a few weeks ago, but no one responded so I assume there wasn't anything there either. My used space is 19.1GB and my free space is 50.6, so I don't imagine that is the problem either. I'm running Windows XP. Any suggestions on how to speed this thing up, or is it just suffering from old age?
i have a computer running windows xp sp1. it has p4 1.7 cpu and 1g ddr sdram memory.recently i noticed that the computer was very slow in opening up programs or some other simple operations. i have norton anti virus running all the time, so it should not be virus. i also scanned the system using adaware and every thing seemed ok.so i am just wondering if it could be the memory, as i am using two memory with different speed, one 512 at 2100, and the other at 2700.
I just built a new computer, the startup was very quick. But after I installed some video editing software, the startup seems extremely slow. Is the software I installed responsible for this?
I downloaded firefox browser yesterday but when ever i try to start it it comes on for about 5 secs then goes off. I thought i must of done somthing wrong when i installed it so i downloaded netscape to see if that would work and guess what that is doing the same so it has got to be somthing to do with my pc.
I've scanned with spy sweeper and adaware, here is my hijackthis log. My computer runs slow at the start, and was wondering what I could take out of the registry.fyi, I use sbc yahoo dsl, have windows xp, and it is a hp pavillion a434n.

My 20 Gb HD is gaining data at a rate of about 1MB every 4 days and I have limited space. I am not down loading any programs or anything I want to keep, also I daily run ADIOS to clean out all the cookies, temporary internet files, etc. I have deleted all programs that I am not using, also I am allowing SYSTEM RESTORE to to have only 1022 MB of space. My OS is XP home with SP2. Can someone please help me determine where this data is coming etc.
My task manager indicates cpu usage 55-99% when no known programs are running.Norton 2005 sees no spyware,adware or virus. SpyBot sees a file running called Xuron55 can not access this file because it is being used by another program?
My laptop is an hp pavillion dv4000 version 2002(w/SP3), and I got it almost 3-4 years ago. It has, as expected, gotten slow over the years. But now, it's EXTREMELY slow. As in, it takes like 10 minutes to start up. It takes several minutes for my internet browser to pop up. Doing more than one thing at once is impossible. And I constantly have "Virtual Memory Minimum Too Low" popping up...from doing even the simplest tasks on it.
I really like this laptop and don't want to purchase a new one. I want to completely wipe off everything from the laptop and then reinstall windows XP so that I can start afresh. Problem is, I don't have the CD, my laptop never came with it. The manual says it already came with the recovery feature pre-installed.
The comp's CPU usage is almost always running at 100%. I can see this in the task manager and the fans always seem to be running on overdrive (very loud). Sometimes it'll calm down and usage will run at a normal level but this is only for a short time and then it jumps back up and fans as well. I thought at first it might be my AVG antivirus but i've removed and still have the same problem.
I have tried just about every thing to speed my computer up. I have ATT High speed ,but it acts like dial-up . I have talk to att and they said every thing is work fine but i know its now it freezes up have of the time or it crashes .I have spend 200.00 dollars to have it debug. I need help
I HAVE HIGH SPEED INTERNET. MY COMPUTER HAS BEEN WORKING FINE, UNTIL TONIGHT. IT IS GOING ONLINE AND OPENING WEB PAGES SUPER SLOW. I HAVE FULL VIRUS PROTECTION, SO I KNOW IT'S NOT THOSE. I HAVE DELETED ANY LARGE, UNUSED PROGRAMS.
I've got a P III that is crawling from window to window. It was very fragmented and had some viruses. I have since defraged and run the latest spybot to clear everything but the system is still very slow. Does anyone know of any free tools that could run diagnostics and maybe point me in the right direction to catch some speed ?
Saw an earlier post where flavallee was addressing this problem and wondered if someone would assist me in trying to get my computer back to close to the speed it was. It has really slowed down the past couple of months.
