OK, I already had DHT disabled so that can't be it; I've also used DHT before but nothing changes. Next, I upgraded my video driver.... no change. I then completely disabled my video card.... still no change. I'm assuming that if BitComet acted the same while my video card was disabled then this can't be the problem, right? After that I decided there was no use in trying other drivers. Tell me if I'm wrong. Another little quirk is that if I close BitComet while it's frozen I lose some of the progress I made during the fifteen minutes prior to it freezing. So if I download fifty MB in the fifeen minute window, bitcomet freezes, I close it while it's frozen then reopen it -- it only shows that maybe thirty MB was downloaded. However, if I wait until BitComet unfreezes of its own accord all the previous progress stays. Could this have something to do with hash checking?

OK, I tried what you said and nothing changes on the bitcomet display. Another bit of information that might be useful is when it freezes, the bar that displays the - File View Options Help - menus turns white and - File View Options Help - all dissapear so I can not use any of those menus. The whole display is basically just an image - anywhere I click has no response. Also, if I have bitcomet running along with another program and the bitcomet display is covered up WHEN it freezes the part that was covered except for the title bar is completely white like a blank wordprocessor document. It has to be covered at the moment it freezes, so the notepad test after it was already frozen didn't have any effect.

I guess I forgot to say that I've tried many different versions and the same thing happens with all of them. When it freezes I can't do anything with BitComet. No numbers change, I can't start or stop torrents, I can't change any settings, and if I had it minimized I can't restore it to normal size until it unfreezes. When it freezes I can do all the normal things I usually do with my computer. I should also say that I've tried many different torrent clients and this happens with all of them so there must be something about my computer that doesn't sync with torrent clients but I couldn't find it. Has this happened with anyone else?

I'm running BitComet 0.64 on windows xp pro. I have a linksys router, though I don't think that's relevant to my problem. From the minute I start BitComet I can start a timer for fifteen minutes and it will freeze on the clock every time. I then wait anywhere from five minutes to half an hour and it will unfreeze, reconnect and continue downloading. It continues like this almost exactly every fifteen minutes, it will freeze for a while then continue downloading for another fifteen minutes. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks
