Extreme Unknown Lag Problem

bootems · 06-20-2009, 03:37 PM

I wasn't exactly sure where to put this but it seems like the right place.

Now before I start I DO download torrents, I have a wireless connection with multiple (3) computers connected to it and I do have consoles that use the same connection. I'm Canadian and with Shaw.

I have a hunch of what the problem is but no idea how to fix it. Normally I'm cautious when downloading torrents but my obsession and "it won't happen to me attitude" caused me to download some seasons of Entourage even though some of the comments warned that HBO's copyright protection can mess up your internet (I can provide a link if it's requested and I'm allowed to).

My internet was running fine up until this, it has a password on my wireless so I'm assuming no one else is using my connection. It's running so slow that MSN conversations lag and Facebook is barely working, so my life is basically over.

Help please? Should I just jump off a bridge?

thank you! I ran my Malware Bytes and now it's running faster... but now my internet keeps cutting in and out, i think it might have something to do with my out-dated router. I might just have to call the guy
