Thank you for you reply. How would I check the upload speed? Isn't that covered in the speed test? I uninstalled and reinstalled bitcomet and it is working now. I will try and answer the rest of your questions but i'm not really tech savvy so i'll try my best :) My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite C660 and is about 4 years old. It has a 500gb internal harddrive (270gb free) and a 2gb RAM but able to upgrade to 8gb. It has windows 7 and 64 bit operating system. Hopefully this information will help. If you need more, please let me know :) Another quick question about the google chrome and using bitcomet with it, is there an add on or app that when I click on a download link (for example a cloudyvideo link) it comes up with the option to download with bitcomet or save to computer like it does on cometbird? I downloaded chrome like you recommended but when I tried to download a cloudyvideo file it didn't give me an option. I really love cometbird and its format - not too keen on chrome as it is different from what I am used to. Bonnie

Hi, I just downloaded the new Bitcomet 1.40 for 64bit as I recently had the 1.37 and kept checking for updates by clicking on the check for updates and it kept saying I had the most upto date version. I found out today that there was a 1.40 by doing a google search. In the last week or so, Bitcomet has been 'not responding' a lot when I go to download something. It will freeze and then I will shut it down and try again but it keeps going on like that then eventually it will work and keep working. My details: I have ADSL2+ and use it wireless I got a new modem a few weeks ago a TP Link Archer D7 I have Windows 7 I use Microsoft Security Essentials as an antivirus Never had problems with firewall before as there is a firewall exception. I don't use any ip filtering software (not sure what that is) I do use noscript and adblocker on my search browser which I am currently using the old cometbird. Here is my speed test: http://www.ozspeedtest.com/bandwidth-test/results/38118733 Results Test run on 07/09/2015 @ 01:17 PM Your Line Speed 8.46 Mbps (8,464 kbps) Your Download Speed 1.06 MB/s (1,058 KB/s) Not sure what to do and why I am having issues all of a sudden. I have used bitcomet for years and have never had huge issues before. Please help: Bonnie also, is there a bitcomet plugin for being able to download using firefox light? since cometbird isn't being updated, I need to find a new browser as it too is not responding a lot of the times.

A further update: I removed Real Player and ever since I have not had any issues with it happening until this afternoon :(. It was working fine and then half way through a .flv movie it started doing its thing where the full screen view is missing about an inch from the bottom of the screen. Any idea what other programs could have this affect on MPCStar? Could a Windows Update have this affect? or would it more likely be Adobe Flash Player Plug in? As far as I am aware, those are the only two things that have updated recently and even that was a day or two ago. I think I need to try that 'Autoruns' software thing. How would I work out what it is and how would I fix it without removing the offending software. What wording am I looking for under Options or Preferances to stop 'whatever software is doing this' from trying to override my MPCStar?? Do I really need all these Adobe updates? or if I turned them off, would that be bad?? edit: I just removed my adobe updates and rebooted and it didn't solve the issue. Just had to reinstall. Help ;) ! Thanks a bunch, Bonnie

Thank you for your prompt reply. I do have RealPlayer on my computer also so I am removing that {as I type this} and will see if maybe that will help. I uninstalled and re-installed MPCStar yesterday and that didn't help. Today, now all .flv videos have the same issue. Not just ones downloaded from Novamov. Ones that worked fine yesterday are causing problems today. FANTASTIC NEWS: After removing RealPlayer from my computer all the files from today and yesterday that were causing issues are working normal again. I had had RealPlayer on my computer for quite a while without any issues, I am not sure why all of a sudden it started causing issues. Maybe there was some problem with a plug in or codec during an update??? Thank you so much. Bonnie

Hi, My MPCStar just started having a problem when I try and expand the video player to the full window (ALT/Enter). With most videos eg .avi, mp4 etc it is fine, but as of today nearly all .flv files (but not all) won't expand to the entire window without the bottom looking out of wack (like a totally different picture - sort of like the picture is frozen). If I leave it playing that bit disappears but then you see a gap at the bottom and see desktop. It is very annoying/distracting. If I start another file, for example an .avi and expand the player to full screen and then skip to next .flv file, it is fine; as long as I don't minimise or make the video player smaller because as soon and I try and expand the screen again it has the same issue. It isn't doing it with all .flv files but today I downloaded some tv shows from Novamov (never had a problem before today) and every single one of them has this issue but a .flv file from nowvideo.eu plays fine. I tried converting a .flv video from Novamov to .avi and it expanded properly afterwards... I even tried viewing a Novamov file I downloaded a few days ago that had NO issue when I played it but now it has a problem. Does anyone know why it is doing this? I just don't understand what is happening or why it has began doing it today. Any ideas?? Should I uninstall and then re-install and see if it helps?? I have the most current version of MPCStar - 5.4. I tried to attach a print screen but no matter what I tried I got an error. Thank you, Bonnie
