Hey guys ive come up to a strange problem.

I have been using vista for some weeks now and could serf while downloading torrents without any problem.
Suddenly today when i open utorrent to download something, my browser and msn die completely but the torrent still downloads as if there is no problem.

So for some reason when i open utorrent, it suddenly seems to block my browser and msn messenger.

I asked a friend who is a computer technician and says he is experiencing the same thing and hasn't found a solution. He told me that others who also have vista at start could download with no problems torrents and serf and then suddenly it would stop.

If i close utorrent i still get no response from the browser or msn, i need to restart for them to work again. And if i open utorrent again this thing will go on a loop again and again.


Anyone have similar problems? Any solution?

Thanks

goto settings and limit the upload speed first.
If not then throttle the download speed.
It seem that you have utorrent set to the highest speed and it is utilizing alll of your bandwidth.

When you turn utorrent off it takes a couple of minutes to severe all of the conections.

I have no trouble with uTorrent, but I use Firefox instead of IE

uTorrent will suck your bandwidth dry if you let it... that's why surfing can slow to a crawl when you're downloading. Whatever browser you're using shouldn't make a difference.
