    For some reason Mozilla Firefox 2 will stop working every time I have BT open or downloading something. If I try and use my browser, it get errors and the common "page could not be displayed" Firefox screen. As soon as I close down BT, I am able to use Firefox with no problem.

    What is the deal here? Anyone have this problem? Do I have to resetup port forwarding in my router?

    Also, what kind of internet connection do you have? It seems that if you let your upload rate unlimited then you can't use internet, in my parents house with adsl work this way, I can't let more than 5 kbps, in my house I used even uploading at a rate of about 60kbps

    I have SBC DSL and Im using the regular BT client. Maybe I should try BitComet again, I had no problems with that.

    I use utorrent and notice this problem once in a while. I just throttle my uploads to 40KB/s and that seems to take care of the problem.
