Good morning/afternoon/evening to all.
I'm experiencing a problem while using the BitComet application. It began around the beginning of this year, and I was using BitComet version 0.98, 0.99 or 1.00 (not sure which) at the time. I've lurked a bit around internet but couldn't find any solution - only other people complaining about the same problem with BitComet.
This is the deal: after a few minutes, sometimes hours, that BitComet is open and active, the PC itself freezes. A warning window shows up saying something like "BitComet is not responding. Would you like to terminate the application?". After that, the computer stops responding to anything. And the only way to get it to work again is reset the system.
A noteworthy fact is that this only happens under Windows XP. My desktop has both Windows XP Pro SP2 and Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 installed, and while in Vista, nothing similar to that ever happened. Same thing for my laptop, which runs a Vista Basic, and never presented any problems.
The current installation of the XP is a fresh one, just installed it last week. Before that, since the beginning of this year I formatted my computer a few times, and installed XP, only to find the same problem happening when I tried the program.
Another (perhaps) important fact, is that I suspect this errors to began after I patched the TCP/IP sys file, expanding the half-open limit to 50 instead of 10. Both of my Vista's system weren't TCP/IP patched, since, when I looked it up, seemed like a hell of stuff to do to patch the file under this OS.
While it's working, the speeds are great, usually 100+kbps in good seeded torrents, unlinke other BitTorrent applications, which give me only around 25-35kbps. So, it's very relevant to my interests if I could make this program works.
Well, guess that's it. Pretty much explained. I give you some basic tech info below, and a thanks in advance for anyone who helps me with this.

Motherboard: ASUS A7V400-MX
Processor: AMD Sempron(tm) 2400+; 1.66GHz, 1,25 GB RAM
OS: Windows XP Professional SP2 (fresh install)
Current BitComet installed version: 1.04
My network is a simple one, DSL, no router (just a hub - sharing the PC's internet connection to the laptop), and all the ports seem to be ok in status.
