When I am running GPU2 client (Gromacs on other core) and downloading using 'DownThemAll' (FireFox download manager) I notice that my speed drops from just over 8mbs to just over 2mbs - any one else experienced this? It only seems to be happening now that I have downloaded the 1.15 core

E5200
2GB RAM
8800GTS
XP
 
Not running the graphical display - just the icon in the system tray. There is only a drop in download speed if the client is running. If I pause the client the download speed increases almost instantly and then when I resume it the speed drops again.
 
This happen to me with the smp client on my home rig - never could figure out why.
can't remember what I did now, I think I swapped to R@H as it was about the same time the pirates attacked.
 
The SMP client used the loopback address to communicate information between the threads, which is why sometimes a WU unit would bum out if you lost your Internet connection.

Doesn't explain things in this instance though as the GPU2 client doesnt work like that as far as I know.
