when i start BitTorrent i have no problem with my pc. While the time
passes by, the computer gets stacked, first with a very slow response
(mouse movement, web browsing,...) then i can't do anything and i have
to unplug the power cable.

Is anyone having the same problem?

I have Win Vista, 3GB Ram, AMD-Quad CPU (HP 8330F)

the amount of connections you have set is too high and its overloading the
tcpip limit (that is only 10 in vista like xpsp2 and 3).
I have seen this exact behaviour..

its sad to see vista that supposed to be stable, being brought to its knees
so easily.. lol Linux never does this.

I dont use the original bit torrent client so I cant tell about that, but
utorrent has a setting which you can increase - decrease the total amount of
connections the client does.

There is also a tcpip patch that increases the limit of half open
connections beyond 10, to a bigger value
I have set it to 250 on XP and I download much faster now and can have the
settings of the number of connections high in utorrent
