bittorrent crashing computer

[BBnet3000]

every time i use bittorrent now, no matter what the ports, after a short or long while it freezes up. if i use it without any other internet programs (aim/mirc/firefox), it will take longer to freeze, or if i open an internet program during this time it will freeze instantly. when it freezes, it freezes all internet related programs and cuts off the internet connection, making it so i have to restart to use the internet

i left it overnight a few days ago, and in the morning (after a freeze presumably) it was bluescreened, telling me there was a problem with afd.sys

Are you using BitTornado? If so try Azureus (http://azureus.sourceforge.net/) instead. Apparently that solved the problem for one user off a translated German page.

Have you tried using other BitTorrent clients? Try looking up the stop code, as it may be Windows related as opposed to BitTorrent client related.

the problem started when i was using the experimental client, and has continued with azureus

Are you running ZoneAlarm? You might want to try disabling it for a while and see if that helps . . .
