My old pc died on me just before Christmas so I had to go out and buy a new one in the sales.
Old pc had XP and the new one has Vista and when I got the latest one up and running for the first week or so everything was fine. Now I'm having all sorts of problems when trying to download using torrents.
My speeds are awful and thats if my downloads start at all and once the torrent client is open I cannot browse the internet. My web pages just time out and I have to reboot the pc.
Can someone please help me :cry:

Or you could always try linux which is free.
If you do want to try id recommend Linux Mint. Works straight out of the box. There's less messing about installing this than installing XP. Its superb unless you want to games (which linux sucks at). More info see here;-
About - Linux Mint

And it comes with a working torrent client already installed
