Browsing slow when downloading with P2P client

Bony Maloney · 24 Apr 2006 at 00:08

I have a new BT broadband router, with up to 8mbps download speeds. I use Firefox (latest) as my browser. My internet security software is Kaspersky 2006.
My problem is that if I browse the net whilst downloading using P2P client my browser is painfully slow. I do not allocate all my bandwidth to Bearshare, and I have routed Bearshare ports , also I tried browsing with my KIS2006 disabled, but browsing is still very slow. As soon as I close Bearshare my browsing speed increases? Any ideas please. Thanks

If you want to tweak it more have a look at the "max connections" setting of whatever P2P client you use. Too many connections can slow your overal speed too.

Thanks I will have a play with it
