Why are other internet applications slow or don work (time out) when BitComet is running?
Your download/upload speeds are finite, so when you’re downloading/uploading quickly with one application there may not be enough bandwidth left for other applications to function properly. ° Limit your download speed a few KB/s below the maximum possible. Options > Preferences > “Global Max Download Rate” ° Limit your upload speed to 80% of the maximum possible (see #3 here). ° Your maximum half-open connections limit could be being reached (see here). ° Your “Maximum Connections per task” and “Connections to keep per task” could be set too high (see #4 here).
