Interesting, I wondered about that. I'm on RoadRunner, and I noticed over the past couple months, when I would launch BitComet, after about 10 min or so, my internet connection would completely shut down. I would have to repair it to get things running again.

Not sure what you can do about it, some of the workarounds I've read about seem like too much trouble.

There's a patch for Windows XP SP2 that will bump up your maximum simltaneous connections from the default of 10 all the way up to 50. May help a little bit...

Tryed that, but seems like they have caught.. so changing PORT #'s/ using encryption isn't helping. I guess that is the dimise of Bittorent. What i may now need to do is subscribe to a newsgroup. Do I really have any other way of getting files???
