Got Something You Want To Say?

so i recently bought a new laptop with vista :shakehead:
anyways so now my torrents seem to download alot slower then my desktop.
could it be that firewall that came with it? or any other thing that could be affecting my speed.

We do have a PC/Internet/BitTorrent thread... :sweat:

But to answer your question, did to set up the port forwarding for your modem and/or router?

If you think it's the firewall, temporarily disable it and see what happens. :)

i've tried that, yet still no luck.
sometimes it goes like 100kbs but yeah other then that it changes from time to time.

Is it slow regardless if you're connected by a wire or wireless?

well back on my desktop it was fast either wire or wireless, since there really wasn't a firewall or anything that could reduce the speed.

while on the other hand my laptop has a firewall on since you know how new laptops are, but yeah some times when i download other things :sweat: they tend to speed up more faster then when i download dramas. so my guess would be a firewall that causes it to reduce the speed, but there are time when it tends to download at a high speed, its wired :headscratch:

lol true, then maybe restart the laptop.

This isn't related to the previous posts between Racer and Lyrics, just a general question: If there's no full moon, why are there so many knuckleheads out tonight??? :beatyou:

I actually got a few hours' peace tonight... My girls and the Mrs at the movies, and my son out. So I got to watch some JDrama :dancing:

Churasan, 2 eps. And 1 ep of Koshonin :) maybe an ep of Atsuhime today :fingerscrossed:

I ordered a new laptop today! :dancing: Hopefully now I won't complain as much as I do when authoring stuff to DVD. Oh wait. I just remembered that it comes with Vista, so I might have even more complaints than before. :sweat:

Congrats! It's always nice breaking in a new comp!

Congrats coco-chan! Welcome to the future! (Well, the present at least ;) )

I can confirm ConvertX works fine with Vista ;)

Congratulations are in order for both Phlargo and Cori. :dancing:
