Ive just bought a OVH kimi Gbit

Unitl now ive been running on a 100Mbit SP MAx which was good but after 7 months became very slow and kept on overloads

Now im looking for help in setting this gbit up

Whats the best client to handle the speeds and the perfect setting for it

i tried running Ubuntu running but found it very confusing

any help on setting etc on windows would be greatly appreciated

Ubuntu confusing ? Wtf
Use 1 gbit on windows is not a good idea cuz getting some disk read error...
so ppl usually using it on ubuntu or debian if you're thinking ubuntu confusing dont try debian:P
about on windows and 1 gbit umm i think your max out and incoming will be around 20MB/s :P if you're lucky but i saw ppl who getting 70MB/s upload on ubuntu...

the best client is rtorrent, for linux. second best, utorrent for linux. third best, utorrent for windows.

You must increase the cache file size. In uTorrent go to: Options --> Preferences --> Advanced --> Disk Cache --> "Override Automatic cache size and specify the size manually (MB):" Set it to 512Mb to forgot the Overload problems.

Maybe the problem comes from Windows, I have two Gbit's servers with Debian 4.0 etch and no problem with any of them.

The problem is Windows. Set your total connections to a reasonable amount (200) and experiment with capping the download speed.

Ideally you should switch to a Linux distro. I recommend Debian :)
