Inappropriate?Gege, could you give us some more info about your computer and home network? It could be something as simple as a router (believe me, I've gone through a few)

my computer is a pc with windows xp sp3,i'm french and at time there are many attacks against legal downloads!I was obliged to unsinstall miro to restore my internet connection! -
Inappropriate?I'm running running same setup as gege, amd athlon 64 2800+, 1 GB DDR RAM. Firefox 3.0.1 is my primary browser, don't know if that makes a difference. I am running a home network using dsl running to a linksys wrt54g which is using 2 hard lines and also putting out signal for 2 laptops. Let me know if there's any other info I can offer. It didn't used to do this prior to version 1.
I’m frustrated.

Inappropriate?Short of Miro simply downloading/uploading a lot and causing a bandwidtth bottleneck on your system, this is really hard to diagnose without knowing more about your network setup or what content (and type of content) you're downloading.
Most older routers are not designed with P2P in mind. I had the same problem until I installed DD-WRT on mine. Do so at your own risk!
My guess? Your ISP doesn't like Bittorrent traffic, shame on them. EFF comes to the rescue.

Inappropriate?Miro seems to be sending about 40-60K bytes per second and receiving about 1-4K per second when running idle (no active downloads). When I stop Miro, the traffic stops and the rest of my network stops having 500-900ms delays (through my Airlink 101 wireless router).
FYI, the network delay symptoms when Miro is running are a sluggish network. Speed tests don't really show a problem (although upload speed are about half on my DSL because of the low upload to begin with). But, keystrokes that go over the network (like over vnc and such) are VERY slow (because of the 500-900ms delay). Also, web surfing from other computers (the one's not running Miro) is sluggish. Meaning responses are slow. I believe packets are being lost that cause network timeouts to be hit. Which make the surfing seem slower than it really should be just because of the traffic from Miro. I can see the packet delays from my other computers using ping and tracert. I also see the packet loss when using ping and tracert. I can see the delays and packet loss immediately stop from my other computers when I stop Miro on my HTPC.
If Miro is actively "looking" for feed updates, then the interval should be able to be controlled through settings (I couldn't see any such controls in Miro 2.0.4 (r9360)). But, maybe I didn't know what to look for.
Can anyone confirm that Miro is designed to do this? And, if so, can they confirm that it is checking feeds (or let us know what it is doing). And, if there is a way to configure it to hammer the network a little less, can you identify that. I would love to leave Miro up to have my feeds automatically updated while I sleep. But, with this side effect, I can't do that for now.
FYI, I'm running Miro on Windows 7.

Inappropriate?UPDATE: I had recently download a torrent. The torrent was still showing up in my downloading area. The torrent apparently was still seeding (not familiar with that) even though the torrent seemed to be completely downloaded. I clicked on the 'Stop Seeding' button and the traffic reduced SIGNIFICANTLY from 40-60K per second to .5K per second. Also, my web surfing issues on my other computers on my network went away.
