Devolution Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Hello community My apologies in advance if this topic has been covered to death and I just couldn't find the responses. I recently got a new desktop computer with a Wifi adapter. This setup works fine and has good speed. The problem comes when I try to download a torrent file. It works for a while, and I would even say it downloads a file successfully most of the time, but when it starts seeding it kills the WiFi adapter. I come back in the morning with no connectivity and the little yellow yield sign and exclamation mark. Most times when I reboot it comes back but sometimes I need to enable the adapter. In another forum it was suggested that I reduce the maximum number of connections, which I did, to 50 from 250. The problem persists. Anyone have a solution?

Devolution Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I had the McAfee that came with the new computer, but it expired a couple of days ago. The behavior was the same before and after the expiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Did you uninstall it and run its removal tool yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrgua Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I had the same problem, I thought it was my ISP. I had a previous version on my computer, so I decided uninstall the latest version and install the older version. That worked for me. I can finally use the internet and have bittorrent open at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
