I don't get it. This computer is extremely stable and never crashes on me. I can run multiple applications that are extremely CPU intensive, download hundreds of files through IRC, FTP and even gozilla. I can have all these things running at the same time, and never have a problem.

However, after a fresh install, I cannot run any of the gnutella clients without my computer locking up on me. I can run it for about half an hour or so, and then it seems to lock up on me. I can't figure out why. The computer just freezes. Is there some kind of setting that causes too many incoming connections or something? Does anyone else have this problem?
