Hi all, i do have the similar problem…i’m using chinese software name Thunder Download for downloading torrents for few years no problem. Until recently my pc whole system become slows and even will not responding once i start the downloading torrents.
I did reformat windows 7, update my driver & i’m using kaspersky internet security 2016.
My desktop spec is Intel core i3-650, 8GB RAM, semi modular 700w power supply & normal seagate 500GB HDD for windows & 1 unit 2TB seagate HDD & 1 unit 4TB seagate HDD.
Please advice. Thanks you all.
Your ISP may be blocking torrent downloads as torrent sites are often used to download pirate software & movies.
Many ISPs are now cracking down on that.
So after you reformatted your computer, did you reinstall any software you previously downloaded from the torrent site?
Many torrent downloads have viruses, you may have just reinfected your system which could be the cause of slow downloads
