This seems to be the techi thread!! Can anyone help? I been knocked off poker sites, and other sites, as usual I'm having trouble with the ISP. One thing may have done it but I may be completely wrong, is it possible that by 'uploading' large files, videos etc., that the download can be affected?

Help would be much appreciated!!!

if your uploading a file it will hamper your download speed which could cause you to lose connection

Are you running Vista??

[CRIPPIN]

thanks ironside, so if a constant upload of films to azurus was going on could this slow down or crash sites that need a download?

No, no vista

Disable the upload and play, if it works then you've fixed it. This was a thread about Vista, usually a new post for a different topic.

Here's my proper answer:

Usually you can set a 'throttle' on your uploads, i usually set this to 10Kb/s this means my connection isn't brought to its knees.
You could ask your ISP if they prioritise traffic etc, but with it being BT i'd guess that all their gaming traffic is properly prioritised and working (as they have a lot of users). However if you were uploading at high speed this is likely the cause. It wouldn't actually crash the software, but yes, make it take a very long time to download.

Had Vista a few days. Not overly impressed so far, still finding my way about though. Now, how do I share my printer...
