Hi there,

i've encountered a very strange problem. my frost wire used to run fine all the time, but since a couple of days, it stopped working. i start it up, all previously unfinished downlods are found and started and everything seems to be fine. but after a couple of minutes, all speed goes to 0kb/s, the cpu works 100% (instead of approx. 20% when everything working fine), while the connection ist still turbo-charged an it still says, that it's downloading each file from about 20 hosts. my flatmate, who is also using fw, has got the same problem.

can anyone help? has it anything to do with the fact, that 2 computers linked to one router both use fw at one time? what can we do about it? anyone who knows this problem?

i would be so thankful if anyone could help...

greets

toby
