nVidia and torrent clients...

I have an nForce 4 mobo and as such tend to use the features that it came with (networking, raid, etc). A while back i noticed a problem with BitComet, so i switched to uTorrent. This switch resulted in BSODs. So i switched again to azureus. I could join a swarm for a little longer before BSOD, but still got BSODs nonetheless. In a valiant attempt to defend software true to their hearts, some folks here told me, "its your firewall, its the nVidia software, its your ignorance, its NOT [insert favorite torrent client software here]." Disabled. BSODs. I admit the nVidia ForceWare software is buggy as hell, but couldnt figure out why simply changing my client resulted in BSODs for EVERY client. Well, i went back to good old BitTorrent (where i started playing with torrents) and have zero problems. So here is the Q, if its the nVidia networking software that causes the BSODs (rather than buggy torrent client software written by folks with an agenda) why dont i BSOD with BitTorrent? Any ideas?

BTW, i get better speeds with BitTorrent than i ever have with BitComet, Azureus, and uTorrent.
 
uTorrent is awesome IMO. Maybe it has something to do BitTorrent? Did you uninstall it before trying the others?
 
The other clients are a bit more complex than regular BT so they probably do something that causes nVidia Firewall to BSOD.

It's like when your overclocked system is perfectly fine for desktop usage and internet browsing, but the moment you load up a game, your system crashes.

You can easily read your own BSOD dumps to fix your problem. Check out my web page for a full guide, including details on how to download the debugger and read it.

Nothing to do with ignorance, you haven't done anything wrong, it really is the firewall. Either that or some other system instability.

One reason I think it is unlikely to be the torrent software is that torrent software is simple. Utorrent for example is very simple, it doesn't do that many things, so others would have experienced the crashes and reported them.

What are the odds of all those programs being buggy?

Bittorrent must interact with the stack in a slightly different way to the others, that's all.

BTW - why would 'someone with an agenda' write a torrent client which crashes your system? Someone with an agenda would write one that works perfectly well but steals your credit card number...

If I were you I'd completely remove the nVidia firewall. Why do you want it anyway?
 
No need to guess - OP just needs to look at his memory dumps to determine the problem.... ought to take him 10-15 minutes and there's no guessing involved if it's an easy one....
