Think I may have asked this before but I have since put in a new HDD and can't remember what I've done.

I get the green tick so there are no connection problems. It's just no matter what speed it's downloading at (currently 140kb/s) it means nothing loads on the internet what so ever. I used to have 300kb/s on my other HDD and I could surf the net as normal.

Is there some kind of bridging etc I need to do or setting I need to change?

As Russ says, set your maximum upload to be less than the upload of your connection, nothing to do with public torrents though, I upload as little as possible on public ones, it's private ones you are forced to upload.

VirginMedia.

I limit each torrent to upload 5kb/s.

I just didn't know whether it was a certain setting as I've never had such problems on the older HDD which was fubared.

Just cap the uploads, should sort the problem. If there is more than one machine running torrents on the network though, even with the upload capped, it .fucks the connection cos the router cant handle all the connections, at least with all the routers ive owned.

Dad barely knows how to do anything, so no worry of that happening on the network.

Bottom right corner shows current upload and download totals. Right click the upload bit, and select small numbers.
