Hi everyone, I have little problem with my net connection. When downloading some file from net, it uses all speed of connection, and don´t leave any for other apps. As I know, speed should be redistributed as it is needed, not that one program uses it all and others has nearly nothing. I even sometimes get disconnected from IMs or other web pages are inacessable. I am connected to net via wi-fi and provider says it is not problem on their side. Any ideas?

The problem isn't with your "net connection". The network connection is just transferring data packets, "it" doesn't know or care what is in the individual data packets. There is no information in the headers (the "mailing address") of these packets which distingush which application on an individual computer is receiving the packets. In other words, the "net connection" has no way of knowing that it is only sending packets downloading a file and ignoring packets from IM or some other application. The network can only insure "sharing" of network traffic between individual computers. The "sharing" of network bandwidth going to different applications on a single computer has to be accomplished with software on that computer, the "net connection" can't do anything about it.

Well, thanks for answering I don´t think it is router problem, becouse until I upgraded from XP to Vista, everything ran fine. I will try downgrade to XP to see if it works. PS: I tried turn off firewall etc and no good, so we will see what XP will do.
