utorrent freezes cmputer

[Final_metroid]

whenever I open uTorrent, it causes the computer to spaz out. It freezes for mayeb 5-10 seconds, then unfreezes for about another 5-10, then freezes, and the erratic pattern continues for a long time. At first I thought it was the "ccApp.exe" portion of Norton Antivirus (just uninstalled), but now i know its a different problem.

Has anyone experienced this problem before and knows how to solve it? Or is another torrent downloader what I need?

Try Limewire. It has bittorrent bult in. See if it still does it.

Sounds like an issue with your network card and/or drivers. To be sure, does the problem only occur when you're actually RUNNING torrents? What kind of network card are you using? How many torrents are you running at a time? uTorrent, generally speaking, is one of the best BT clients out there in terms of stability, so it's probably not the program itself, but how your computer handles it. I've had similar issues with bt clients before, but in order to help you, I'll need more info.

wait ur right, its whenever I even OPEN a torrent file. the problem still persists. It ceases for a little when I repair the connection (I use a wireless). I think the card is "Realtek RTL8185 54M Wireless LAN Network Adapter"

Try updating your drivers.
