I've just completed scans with Ad-Aware, Spybot, AVG, AntiVir, Clamwin, Bitdefender and Kaspersky and they call came up clean. It's not a virus/spyware.

I would call VM tech support but I'm not paying 25p/min to do it, so I might call retentions instead and just tell them I need a bigger discount until it's fixed.
Hmm, well torrents are fine for me. I was getting 460Kb/s earlier or however it shows speeds on torrents. So I don't think it's a problem everyone is getting.

On my PC I know torrents don't go above 10 on there, but my laptop gets decent speeds and they both on same network and no virus' or spyware on any. It might be something to do with your PC if downloads are going pretty crap on torrents.
