    Whenever I use bittorrent to download files my internet slows to a crawl, I can't ping servers, can't even load google. Whats weird is that it only happens when I'm running my bittorent client, even when its only doing 5 kb/s down and 10 kb/s up, my internet is rated at 3 mbp/s - 1.5 mbp/s.. I use Azureus, do you think that could be the problem? Or is it just the fact that bittorent is hogging all my bandwidth without actually using it.

    So I got a DVD burner, and some .ogg video files. I got all the stuff to play it in Windows Media Player, but I can't seem to burn these bitches to a disk. I've tried using WMP and Nero, but I think I need to convert them into a different format, anyone know how?

    I'm in a dorm now and going through a campus connection. It's a fast line, speedtests showed me 2 mbs down and around 1 up, however utorrent isn't starting any of my torrents saying "Unable to map UPnP port" Is there a way I can configure utorrent to allow me to download? I'm not sure how my school's network is set-up, other than the fact that I'm going through a cat5 into the wall. Thx :cool:

    How would you go about this? I've already checked most popular setups online and none of them seem to work. I've already set up a couple home networks as well but for some reason the computers I set them up on kick themselves off of it and I have to make another network. I've probably got 4 or 5 of them already set up, how would I delete those? Also, is it even possible to set up a USB printer through a wireless network without a print server?

    Every time I play a game (so far its done it on BF2, HL2, CS Source, CS 1.6, HL Source, Wolfenstein:ET, HL + HL2 Deathmatch etc you get the idea) my PC crashes after about 5 minutes of playing. I'm pretty sure it's down to my graphics card not being very good but is there anything I can do to solve this except buy a new graphics card? It's an ATI but I can't remember the exact model because its pretty old, but can still run most games. Thanks in advance
