How to use P2P applications without losing Web/ HTTP connection???

[fatboyrosqui]

Sa mga mahilig pong gumamit ng person-to-person (P2P) apps like Limewire and BitTorrent clients, nangyari na ba sa inyo na habang matagal naka-on yung Limewire/ BitTorrent, pumapalya na yung connection ng HTTP at di na maka-browse ng sites yung web browser nyo?

I guess kasalanan ito ng P2P application. Natesting ko na to sa bahay pati sa opis at mukha ngang sya ang salarin.

Ang tanong ko, paano ba ito mapipigilan? May pwede bang matweak sa settin gs oara sabay naman makadownload sa P2P apps at makapagbrowse ng Net?

Salamat po!

ganyan din nangyayari sakin! im using utorrent! nawawala din http ko hehe! kinoclose ko ung utorrent app tapos babalik na uli http then resume ko uli utorrent

yun nga e - kakabad trip.

ok pa naman sabay na nagdadownload sa torrent habang nagphi-philmusic, etc. hehe 

anyway, sana may makadiskubre. ganto rin sa opis kaya pinagbawal ang P2P apps  - not because they are usually not work-related pero dahil napapatay ang HTTP.

could this be something intentional with PLDT's set-up? or does it have something to do with router and/ or firewall and antivirus settings? im using netgear wireless router. as for security, im using avast and zonealarm as antivirus and firewall, respectively.

hopefully, a techie can shed some light on this 

oh and yes - the best and utorrent - sooooo lightweight pero sobrang galing!

no offense but... p2p is not person to person technically


its Peer to Peer.


peace!

actually, p2p applications like limewire, bearshare, kazaa and the likes uses a LOT of your bandwidth, kaya sumosobra bagal ng connection. kaya hindi kayo makapagbrowse, i used to download using limewire pro. you can control the alloted bandwidth sa settings nung program. para makapagbrowse pa rin kayo while downloading.

[fatboyrosqui]

yup, lakas talaga kumain ng bandwidth - that is if you really let it (esp pag nakaset na unlimited ang bandwidth na gagamitin both for D/L and U/L). pero i guess meron talagang nagagawa ang mga P2P that kills the http/ web connection other than slowing it down.

It's very common that for the first few minutes, ok pa - pwede pang sabay (medyo mabagal lang ang http dahil nga very active ang bandwidth sa P2P) pero after a while nawawala talaga - as in zero na. even if patayin mo na yung P2P, minsan, di na makakabalik sa http connection.

usually, re-start na lang ng both modem and router ginagawa ko, hehehe.

i forgot to mention, most p2p softwares, lalo na yung mga unpaid versions, have bundled spywares.

[fatboyrosqui]

yup, marami ngang P2P apps ang bundled with adware/ spyware/ malware.

ingat especially (do not install na lang!) sa Kazaa and Morpheus.

guaranteed safe and recommended P2P apps are Limewire and uTorrent (that is, yung basic program - depende na lang sa user kung magdownload sya ng file na may virus o malware)

recommended progs din for scanning and removing (freeware ito) adware/ spyware/ malware:
- Spybot Search and Destroy
- Lavasoft Ad-Aware

livewire basic is preloaded with free spyware, kaso hindi sya nadedetect ng mga antispywares. in my case, i use limewire pro.

[fatboyrosqui]

talaga? and i tot limewire (basic) was clean too (as they say in their website). thanks for the info.

buti na lang PRO din gamit ko
