WRT54GS V6.0 Slow with Torrents running

Hello,
Current Config: WRT54GS - V6.0 - Firmware Version: v1.52.0 (just updated)
WAN info:
All Manually assigned.
LAN - 1 static IP and 1 laptop on dhcp
Issue:
Normal surfing and downloading is perfect, no issues on a 6MB WAN link. The only issue is when I start up a uTorrent program, then all pings and internet access either drops or goes very slow.
The load on the link is less then 1MB - so there is no issue with the torrent system hanging the link.
I believe the router is not closing open connections, or just is not able to handle the Torrent traffic AT ALL.
Troubleshooting done so far:
==> Upgraded to latest firmware (this HELPED, but did not solve issue - less ping drops with new firmware)
==> Tried torrents again WITHOUT ANY ROUTER, this worked pefect!!
==> Tried torrent on different port, same issue.
==> Tried torrent on both machines, no change (only I need to change the port rules on the router).
I do not think this is port forwarding related as I've the correct ports assigned to the torrent machine.
The issue only happens whilest any torrent program is open, it does not even need to be downloading or uploading!
I see a lot of related discussions on this issue on many web sites, but no one has offered an official solution. This is what I'm now requesting.
Router is less then 24hrs old, so I have the option to return it.
Many Thanks,
Joe Leavy

Just use DDWRT firmware and all of your issues with the WRT54G and WRT54GS will disappear.
My WRT54GS used to crash every 2 hours to 24 hours, having to Power cycle it every time. It will just loose connection to the internet and dropping Wireless connection. My WRTG4GS was upgraded to DDWRT third party firmware and has never dropped any connection since.

Entire system slower when Torrent running. Is this normal?

I have what I think is a well-powered Mac with plenty of processing power but I've noticed that whenever I have a torrent program running that my entire system slows down...every program including non-internet related. As soon as I hit "quit" on the torrent program the entire system picks up speed again.
I tried using "activity monitor" to check it out but I didn't see anything that looked incredibly lopsided to me in terms of memory usage. I don't know exactly what I'm looking for though in terms of metrics.
I tried checking the preferences for my particular program (utorrent) and I didn't see particular limitation on CPU usage. Still, I would have thought my system could have handled it.
Is this normal? Is there some other setting I should check out?
Thanks.

This is exactly what you should expect with torrents. Your Mac is acting as a server for strangers when you run torrent software, so of course it's going to run slower. For this and other reasons, torrent software isn't a very good idea, IMHO.

RMAN backups running slow with Catalog , Running fine using control file.

I am facing a weird scenario
RMAN backups are running fine with Control file but are failing using Catalog
There are other databases configured on the same catalog and they are running fine leaves us to suspect this is issue with Database.
Can you please suggest what need to be checked in such scenario
DB: 11.2.0.2
OS: Aix 6.1
Catalog : 11.2.0.2

Hi,
Basically its not only with backups, simple list incarnation also taking a lot of timeDo sql tracing on your catalog session and target db session while running the 'list incarnation' command for your problem dbs and a normal dbs.

Satellite A500 - Slower with Videos on Windows 7

Hi, I am desperately in need of advice, I am 78 years old and going up the wall.
My Satellite A500/03P was purchased with Vista preinstalled and worked well. My particular interest is the running and creation of video training clips for other Senior Citizens, as purchased video ran well, stutter free. I took up the offer of upgrading to Windows 7 and purchased the upgrade, things have gone rapidly downhill since. The Windows 7 install went crazy during install, requiring me to take the computer to a service shop. It was returned with Windows 7 installed, but was considerably slower with videos run from the hard drive stuttering, even worse from my ADSL2 Internet connection running at around 1.25M bits per sec.
After a while I took it back to the service man and $200 later was supplied with a dual boot hard drive, Windows 7 32 bit and Windows 7 64 bit. The system is realy virtually unuseable for video. I have downloaded and installed all of the 32 and 64 bit drivers available from Toshiba but have had to abandon the 64 bit completely as unuseable. I have tried to install another copy of Vista Ultimate, purchased for my old desktop, but could not get the Internet to work, either direct or via WIFI on the laptop.
I have tried to run the Toshiba on the 32bit Windows 7, but the Laptop is far too slow, even my email creeps in to the email readere. Any advice would be most appreciated as my pension wont support the local service peoples charges. Should I purchase the original Toshiba disks and return to "ex Factory Vistor State" or what.

I have often seen/heard of people having issues with upgrading to Win 7 from Vista. If some one were to ask me what to do when wanting to ugprade, I would probably advise a clean install.
If you do not want to try that route yet, hm...
*Video/Audio*
In advanced power settings, do you have any listing for multimedia?
For the HDMI issues, I am not sure what the problem is, but if there is a listing for multimedia settings in advanced power settings, for which you can set it to maxium performance, hopefully that may solve the case. If it is not there, I will try and tell you what to do.
IF the sound does not stutter in HDMI, then the audio must be fine...
Try this link: [http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/274828-33-hdmi-output-device-windows-radeon-4650]
I am not sure how to help here yet!
*Connecting to Internet WiFi/direct*
Does it still work in Win 7? Might be a OS driver update kind of thing.

Mac Book Pro with Yosemite run clearly slower than Mavericks

HI
I come from other thread about problems whit wifi connection with Yosemite. The great Linc David solved the problem and that has meant thoroughly clean the Mac
I have a Mac Book Pro 13", early 2011 (!only four years¡) with 8 GB of RAM (the maximum), 2,7 GHz Intel Core i7 processor and whit Yosemite everything it´s significantly slower that with Mavericks: open a word, do a screening...even when typing fast some first characters don´t appear.
My conclusion it´s clear the max OS that you can install in one Mac Book Pro 13", early 2011,(like me) it´s Maverick. Yosemite clearly slows the mac.
If someone can convince me otherwise I would be very grateful, because I did not backup before installing the Yosemite. And i don´t know how go back. Here you have the Entrecheck report:
Thanks in advance
Jesus

Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce a recovered file despite settings asking it to do so every 5 mins now. When i try to report the problem, it says it has found an issue and gives me a link to a solution....but wont let me click on the link.... PLEASE HELP! It's killing my productivity.

If the crash started right after you added RAM, it could be a bad Ram dimm. You can try this - change the amount of RAM in Photoshop to 4G, this should stop Photoshop from using the higher ram. If it doesn't crash, it's probably the ram. Or run a diagnostic app. You don't say when it crashes, what you're doing when it crashes - it there a pattern? Did it ever work on this computer? Did it work on your previous computer? Without a lot of data, it could be related to the new computer... What OS version? Did you recently update it? Have you updated Photoshop to the most recent update?
Do you have any plug-ins loaded? Try restarting Photoshop, and immediately press & hold the shfit key to turn off plug-ins.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
HELP PLEASE
Very worried!!

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

My Macbook Air is running slow with Yosemite.

My Macbook Air is running slow with Yosemite.
I checked out most of the blogs and everything and have removed widgets from the notification center, but everything seems to run kinda slowly.
Sure, i have the base model 2014 macbook air but that 4 gb ram should run a freakin finder just fine. I had Mavericks installed before, and with that, i could do everything. I even made cool music in GarageBand and nothing was lagging for me. Now i installed Yosemite... Everything is lagging. Scrolling seems like it happens around 10 FPS. That aint good man. Memory cleaner says around 1gb ram free when only the finder is running in the background (before it did around 2). I just uninstalled Memory Cleaner o I'm not looking at that little amount of memory. I don't know what to do now? I would appreciate it, if someone would help me. Otherwise, ill just wait for a new update.

Since it's new I would take it back for repair or exchange under your warranty before bothering to read further.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

I have a 4 yr. old iMac. I recently got a trojan on it that sent out emails to my address book. I got Norton Internet Security for Mac, and now my Mac is running slow, with way too many spinning beach balls of death. Was it a mistake to install Norton?

There is no such Trojan or other malware known today that will do that using OS X nor has there ever been one. The most probable explanation is that somebody hacked into your e-mail account on the server, so you should change that password to something stronger right away. If it had come from your Mac then there would almost certainly be copies of those messages in your Sent Mail mailbox.

I have iMac and need a good photo editing program to use. Reviews say aperture runs really slow with Lion, any suggestions?

I need a program where I can remove objects and touch up dead grass, etc.

Reviews say Aperture runs really slow with Lion, any suggestions?
To add on to Corky02 answer:
The recent Aperture release AP 3.3.x is very efficient, both on Lion and Mountain Lion. But you need a decent hardware to support it. The older Macs will have problems with the storage and CPU requirements. For good performance on large raw images plenty of RAM is important, at least 4GB, but 8GB would be much better, and your library should be on a fast disk, preferably on an internal drive. And don't let the system drive get too full.
Many reports about Aperture being slow are due to putting the Aperture library onto slow disks or acessing the original image files over the network, insufficient RAM, or corrupted or ill-designedAperture databases.
Aperture excels at all kinds of image processing that can be considered image developement - raw processing and color/lighting adjustments, but does not do compositing. If you are shooting raw and want professional image developement I'd recommend to do this in Aperture and not in iPhoto - you will have much more control over this in Aperture (after a steep learning curve). You can also repair and retouch the image to correct minor blamishes. For graphics compositing and inpainting you can set up an external editor and send your images from Aperture to this external editor - any of the editors Corky recommended would be o.k. for this.
To see, if you will want the advanced image processing in Aperture or the easy to use, more basic options in iPhoro will be sufficient to you have a look at the Aperture User manual, or the tutorial on the support page: Aperture Support
But Aperture is a professional apllication, not "plug and play". You should only consider it, if you are willing to spend some time on learning to use it properly and are willing to work your way through the manual.

Did macbook air mid 2009 running slow with mountain lion?

did macbook air mid 2009 running slow with mountain lion?

Yours is the first computer I've heard about on these forums that is attempting to run Mavericks with only 2GB of RAM.
Indeed that is acceptable per the Mavericks requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842
... but as you may know, Apple has not sold computers with as little as 2GB RAM for quite a while.
I suggest therefore you make sure you remove any applications that may be overtaxing your machine. Examples are browsers other than Safari, Mac cleaning products (such as Mac Keeper), or any other non-Apple app that has some startup process running (such as Outlook).

My macpro runs slow with or without internet on..... How can I find out if something is running in the background?

Please boot in safe mode and test. Still slow? If you connect to a wireless network, you may have to connect with Ethernet in safe mode.
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode.)

MacPro Running Super slow with Photoshop CS5

My MacPro is running extremely slow with Adobe Photoshop CS5. I have tried uppping the ram usage to over 14 gigs of ram and its still even slower than my macbook pro. the healing brush is the slowest, but even layer masking seems to lag a lot. how can I fix this?

There are dozens of threads, faq, guides, tips on how to configure a Mac especially for CS5. Best places to start.
http://macperformanceguide.com/index_topics.html
http://macperformanceguide.com/OptimizingPhotoshopCS5-Intro.html
Scratch drive or array
Disable Spotlight on scratch
Move your files to scratch for work and then save as you go and move back to media drive when done
fast system drives. maybe even SSD if you can, or 10K 600GB VR
Upping RAM helps if you work with large images, layers, etc (in some cases 16 or 24 or 32GB, and if you can run in 64-bit mode get a little better).
Some specs on the setup?
