i recently just installed peer gaurdian and my internet speed has been so slow that i cant access any pages. I have verified this because i disabled peer gaurdian and my internet access worked fine. does anyone know what the reason for this is?
thanks,
mc
 
could just be alot of bandwidth usage by the progam especially if you have slow connection speed such as dialup or low end broadband (256 k) which can drain many resources.
 
would you consider updating to a buisness cable connection. I currently have a standard cable connection?
 
depending on what you use the connection for if its for downloading alot and running games and servers then it it definetly worth the investment. but a faster connection defenetly would improve the overall speed of your downloading capability.
 
My guess is that it's your computer that's the bottleneck.

What peerguardin does is check every incoming packet's address and cross-checks it with a block list of IP's. If the ip is found on the block list, it drops the packet.

If you have an older computer this comparison operation could slow down your entire system, including accessing the internet.

could you post your system specs?
 
sure

I think that might be it.

When you are running peer guardin, open up the task manager and look at how much of the processor and how much ram pg.exe is using.
