QUOTE(raptor_cZn @ Jun 3 2008, 12:38 AM) Does anyone know a firewall software which doesn't slow down the comp when torrenting? Basically, all of them use up resources because they've gotta constantly monitor your incoming/outgoing connections, set McAfee's Firewall to allow your torrent program with "Full Access".My stupid McAffee firewall will cause my comp to lag if I run BitComet overnight. I guess it cannot differentiate between connection to peers from unauthorized access stuff. Is Zone Alarm any good? I would also like to know which firewall software uses the least amount of resources  |

QUOTE(raptor_cZn @ Jun 3 2008, 01:15 AM) Well, I would like to know one which uses less resources unlike norton's internet security suite thing which hogs up way too much resources. Tried using uTorrent, small, light and powerful, not sure whether it'll help much though. Check your computer for viruses and/or spyware but update your definitions first. Post your full computer spec please. I'm gonna sleep now, anything add me MSN and PM me, I'll reply you tomorrow.McAfee Firewall does not have a setting for that. I'm using the older version btw because the newer one offers less customization similar to Vista like products which are meant to be more "user-friendly" Added on June 3, 2008, 1:16 amIt has Full Access for BitComet but it still lags the comp after I leave my BC for quite awhile. Reason being is that it there are tons of connections going throgh BC and the firewall will slow down the PC by scanning all those incoming connections eventhough the permission is set to Full Access |
