zorro37 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 im new to bitcomet so im sorry if there is a fix for this somewhere here but i recently installed bitcomet as i heard how good it was but i immediately began to download 2 movies but my dsl broadband connection, which is normally very fast, began downloading at 1kb/s. I am pretty sure that it should be faster than this and i tried switching off all of my firewalls but nothing worked. I had experienced problems like this with bittorrent before. can anybody help me?

kluelos Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 First thing, turn your firewall back on! You do NOT want to connect to the internet without a firewall, your machine can be compromised within minutes. One university studying the situation found that they could not even finish installing Windows on a new machine before it was zombied. Now that you've turned it back on, check your machine with an antivirus program, with Spybot S&D, and with AdAware. Use all three. Yes, it will take awhile. Next, you said "all my firewalls". You only need one, and more will just create problems/stumble over each other. They will not make you more secure. Get rid of/uninstall the others. A firewall is sorta like a front door. Turning it off is like taking your front door off the hinges because you had trouble with the lock. Not a smart response. Fix the lock, or in this case learn how to use it. And finally, getting to the point, for BitComet download speed problems read this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
