Connection Problems

Quote:

Since then, there's been some minor yet annoying problems with the computers in our house (5 of them). There's been complaints from the laptop owners (my dad and sister) about how their connections will occasionaly be too slow. My sister also complains about having low signal strength (normally it would be higher where she has her laptop stationed). As for myself, since I do more downloading than anyone self, sometimes when I'm downloading a big file (like a game), I get complaints about the connection being slow. Turning off the download makes their connections normal again.

Sounds like someone's using Bittorrent but doesn't know enough to cap the upload. That causes crap like this.

And the Low Signal strength isn't related to the new computers, it's related to the router. Why she just started noticing it now is strange, but it never changed.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Cap. Your. Upload. to 20KB/s or something reasonable. kthx

There's nowhere I can't reach.
