Dual-boot Windows: qBittorrent fried internet on W10
Posted: Tue May 25, 2021 4:41 pm
I have seen many references to computers losing internet connection while using qBittorrent. I've also read the cause is too much bandwidth choking the computer, so settings need to be edited in the qBit interface. I've made those changes, but what I haven't fixed is my internet connection.
In all the posts I've read, after having this internet crashing issue, users have fixed things simply by rebooting their computers and/or rebooting their routers. Nothing like that has worked for me yet.
My computer is dual boot Windows 10 and Windows 7. It's the W10 side that is currently fried. I've tried updating the internet adapters. No change. I've also tried rolling back the drivers - nothing. Downloading new drivers and re-installing didn't work either.
This is W10 v. 1909. The problem did not start with a Windows update as it has with some users. It happened as I tried to use qBit for the first time.
The W7 partition is working fine. I'm using a *different* torrent service there, the one I've used for years.
Any suggestions? - The adapters in question are:
Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller 1 and 2.
Bummed out.
