steponahen Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 hi. i have been using utorrent for many years. im not that tech savvy but it has always worked for me. just recently i had to make my vista 64 desktop wireless feeding off a linksys wrt54g2 v.15 with wep protection. my computer kept freezing so i decided to completely start off from scratch and did a system restore to have everything erased and default. now i figured out that whenever it was utorrent. when i load up utorrent or any kind of torrent program it will freeze the whole computer after the first 10 seconds. i cannot move my mouse or hit any keys. i have took off all the virus protection, took off the windows defender, and took down the firewall. i don't know what is happening. i don't think it is my computer since i was running torrents before when my computer was wired and i had redone it previously. is it the linksys that is causing my computer to freeze and crash and if not what can i do?

Firon Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 It's your wireless drivers. Try to find updated drivers for your wireless chipset. It's not the Linksys, it's your wireless adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 The router with Linksys-made firmware is bad as well:http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/component/option,com_chart/Itemid,189/chart,124/...However replacing the Linksys firmware with Tomato or DD-WRT 3rd party firmware makes the router pretty good. However the router does have low ram (8 MB?), so I wouldn't recommend setting max connections very high. About 100-200 tops in uTorrent and only allowing maybe 1000 on the router for everything (even dead connections). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
