I noticed recently that my internet was getting extremely slow, but I suspected it was something wrong with the ISP (shaw cable) and did nothing about it. However, persisted, and after doing a speed test (450 kps download, 54kpb download, and best of all, 657ms ping!), I realize it the problem might be on my end. After closing a few programs, I realized that BitComet was the culprit. I've used it for a long time and never had any problems with it before. Does anyone know how to resolve this short of changing to another P2P client? Thanks

Id try uninstall the program and run a registry cleaner then install it again. Maybe something got changed up.
Also maybe your ISP has cracked down on the program and the port its using. I had a port get blacklisted once when I had left my p2p on for a few days in a row, suddenly one day I saw my NAT was blocked... changing the port fixed it. -
Bittorrent can easily kill your net speed. It creates a ton of connections, incoming and outgoing, and if the router can't keep up, your connection will slow down to a crawl. Uploading too much can throttle your connection too (if there isn't enough upstream bandwidth left to send requests, your download speed will suffer too)
