Vista killed my XP comet?

I went ahead and installed Vista RC1. But I couldn’t get the latest build to download any torrents at all. Booted back to XP sp2 and found even my XP bitcomet to be extremely slow. DHT is connected. Still…

I don’t want to just format both my drives and reinstall XP

I even tried disabling all my antivirus and firewalls btw

well same problem here, but my rate will sometimes speed up after half an hour or more if i keep the task running
