Problem With Bittorrent
I've searched for ages, yet i have yet to find anywhere which can fix this.
When i try to download anything with bittorrent, after a while my computer freezes, then after about 5-10 secs it unfreezes for about 1-5 secs, then freezes, then unfreezes, then freezes etc.
I have scanned my computer for spyware/adware (with AdAware and Spybot )and for viruses (with AVG and that Trend Micro thing) and no matter what it finds and i remove i still have the same problem.
I have a Athlon 2400+XP overclocked to 2600+ speeds, 512mb DDR PC2100 RAM (two sticks of 256mb), 512kb cable connection, and my firewall is Zonealarm.
Does anyone know of a solution for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Latest core version is v2.4.2 (<a href='http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/download.html' target='_blank'>get it here</a>), but I'd recommend BitTornado (formerly known as "SHAD0W's experimental" builds) which you can get <a href='http://bittornado.com/download.html' target='_blank'>here</a>.
I'll try BitTornado in a bit.
I could be thinking of something else, but I remember hearing that BT++ was particularly troublesome for some reason or other. Something about not using some standard... thingy.
Anyway, I've never used anything but the core client, it works okay for me. Except for the fact that for the longest time now, things come in really, really slow for some reason. Probably something to do with my stupid router. :/
