have you tried increasing the buffer? on my vps i increased it to 256mb from 32mb and it fixed my problem

or limit your download speed.

Its windows right ? Then its hard to get it to work great.

Search here on Fst for Utorrent tweaking and I'm sure you will find some good tips

but also, keep in mind that you are sharing the hardware, so sometimes it's almost impossible to download something, whatever the speed is, without getting disc overload errors, When I had one of these, I managed to avoid it pretty well, but sometimes it just wasn't possible :/

yea i did have the same problems with their gbit vps.

I could get like 17MB/up in the nights for some hours and somtimes it was only about 1MB/s

Maby its better to order a own harddrive extra to download to ?

if they can attach own HDD to your VDS sure ti would be the best way
