utorrent kills internet conncetion

[Avinoam73]

and i don't mean it slows it down, i mean it disables it.
i'm working on a desktop PC which had to be connected via wifi instead of via ethernet cable like it used to be. in the past, i'd download a torrent and everything was fine, now wheneever i start a torrent the download starts and for a couple of seconds everything works, then everything stops: my browser claims i'm not connected to the internet, my torrent download stops (no connection) and a little triangle appears next to the wifi signal. the only thing to do is close utorrent and reconnect the wifi adapter.

BTW, i'm using edimax AC600

Get away from uTorrent as it is full of a lot of malware. Go to Qbittorrent or the like.

tom's does not support piracy, at all
now, i'm pretty sure you're using utorrent for downloading pirated content, and as such, you should not have posted this question here.
try the utorrent forum

Thineswar, Don't automatically accuse someone of something. Who are you to do so? This is a site about how tech works and not about what you assume.

uTorrent is not strictly for pirating. Some freely available software on the internet, such as Unigine Valley, suggests running an .exe installation file that is part of UTorrent.

There are many Korean MMOs which have torrents as their recommended client download option. DDL from their servers might take days to complete.

And to be on topic, the last good uTorrent version is 2.2.1.

ok i didn't mean this to become an argumant about the validation of torrent.. but it happens now as well, even on bitorrent. is there anything in the settings menu i can change for it to work?
thx

This is correct. False accusations will get you nowhere. And we mods will be monitoring this thread closely to make sure it does not go off track.

ANYWAY, the thing is, the internet gets disabled every now and then and i have to unplug and plug the adapter every time. nothing to serious but pretty annoying nonetheless. anyone? why is this happening?

I guess the question is - is it just the torrent? Can you get a download connection downloading anything else? Also what router and Wifi adapter are you using? That could also be an issue.

So it only happens on wifi? but works fine on ethernet(or you can't test that anymore)

 

[Avinoam73]

can't test ethernet no more (adapter stopped working) and i'm using the edimax AC600 wifi adapter. ad for the router i'm not sure.
as far as i'm concerned i can download normally in chrome so i guess it's fine. i'm pretty sure it's the app causing the problem, but i'm not sure why

Does it stop all PCs on the network, or just yours?

Did you move to a new provider when you changed from Ethernet to WiFi? They may be trying to lock you out.

 

[Thineswar]

okay, okay, i'm sorry. i'm shouldn't have quickly jumped to the conclusion that op was pirating software.
everyone, please, forgive me

if the router still work and it just your computer lost internet, it might be your wifi adapter.
