    Freezing Problems during downloading

    Hey guys, im wondering if anyone knows how to fix freezing problems when you are downloading stuff. I mean, when i download more than 500kbps speed my PC starts sporadic freezing, good thing it doesnt freeze permanently. Anything below 500kbps or so, everything is smooth sailing.

    You guys think theres a problem with my PCI bus or something cuz i have an x-fi soundcard as well as my wifi card. Problem is i cant switch pci slots to check if this is the problem since there are only two anyway. Are there any settings in bios or software which you guys can suggest?

    Thanks!

    Are you on XP?
    What browser are you using?
    What network card is it?


    AFAIK - It could be the concurrent TCP/IP events handler. Concurrent connections on XP is only set as 40 or something low like that, and you would need to edit the registry key(s) that relate to the TCP/IP settings. I dont know any more than that as there's an executable I run to change these.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    First sorry that this is totally off topic

    But it made me think...my brothers PC has a PCI wi-fi card, and a PCI (yes it is very old) GPU (for anyone who wants to know its a FX5000 or someting). However it will not connect to the net, do you think that it may be overloading the PCI bus??

    Sorry for invading and ambushing

    ON TOPIC
    Are you using the soundcard at the time???? and if you use the soundcard, play some music, and effects, while downloading does the "max" speed decrease??

    in terms of bandwidth 500kbps is almost nothing to the PCI bus, first step I think would be to change the driver, ideally upgrade but if using latest then downgrade to the next one down, if that doesnt sorted it post back.
