Windows Vista

Huh. I've run torrents with more than 10 connections and I've always gotten full download speed. However, if you run databases with SQL, there could be a limitation within IIS that's slowing you down. Or your corporate network is sending you too many connections and they're timing out.

Check your event logs during one of those turrent sessions (which I am "sure" are totally legal torrents! XD)

If you get this event ID, then your affected and your being hard-limited.
EventID 4226: TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts

This was already done on my home computer. Such modifications are not allowed on work related equipment however.

Vista is a hog

the first thing I did with the new comp was remove vista and install XP


if I change to anything else , it wont be a MS system

I am running a system with over 2 gig of RAM, and Vista was still laggy.

The first thing I did was turn off User Access Control. Improved things dramatically.
