roell29 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Hello, I am unable to browse when utorrent is running - browsing is extremely slow to non-existant. I went through the speed guide and am using conservative settings. Even after I exit utorrent, I sometimes will not be able to browse for 5 to 10 minutes. Any idea what might cause this to happen? I was hoping that last symptom might provide a clue to the problem. Thanks for any assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Usually this is caused by over-aggressive and/or just plain bad firewalls.Lately, we've gotten reports of ROUTERS doing this with their internal firewalls.In your case, it could even remotely be your modem-router acting up.

roell29 Posted August 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Thanks but it's not the firewall. When I turn it off, it makes no difference. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 By turn it off, you mean uninstall it to remove its blocking DLLs from memory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintball9 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 When browsing is slow, what point is it slow. (what does the status bar in the browser say?)If it says loading with the little bar then it could be bad hardware, or improper settings in utorrent.If it says connecting to, or finding. Then it could be a DNS problem from bad hardware. Some hardware relays the DNS requests through itself and a torrent connection quickly maxes out it's limit.When it's slow open a cmd prompt and type nslookup google.comdo it a few times.What does it display?
