    Hello people
    I'll need your help again :rolleyes:

    so...
    Since I bought my Acer 6930G, it came with a Windows Vista Home Premium 32Bits

    and now I'm using Vistalizator (just to change the language, and I don't know if this is important in this thread)

    anyway... when I use uTorrent and after few hours (sometimes 10-12 hours), I can't use the internet anymore. However the problem is not the internet, but MY notebook, because I have a router D-Link 604 and I can still use the internet in my father's notebook.

    and the second problem is that, after this, my reboot is FREAKING SLOW.
    Unfortunately I need to reboot or turn off my notebook, so I can use the internet again...

    And the biggest problem is that sometimes I download BIG files from the internet and I need to use uTorrent. And I hate when I have to check my internet every 3-4hours to make sure that the download (internet) is fine. :mad:

    It may be that you need a better wireless card driver or you may have some kind of windows corruption. It is also possible that the wireless card may not be fully compatible with the machine you're using.

    I had this problem too with a wireless card I had and it didn't start acting like this until I moved it into a newer computer. When I replaced motherboards it worked perfectly again. The same exact driver was used each time in these different motherboards too.

    This is a known problem with utorrent.

    1) Make sure you are using the latest version / build of utorrent by downloading the latest version from their website. (I suggest uninstalling your current version and reinstalling the latest build)

    2) Make sure that you set your maximum simaltaneous downloads to 3, and the maximum connections (either upload or download) to 6

    3) Make sure that you set the value of the upload to a maximum of 6 kb/s! This will ensure your connection is not hogged down, but the value of 6 will allow you to download at unlimited speeds :) (uncapped)

    RESTART your PC and try again.
