[QUOTE="ugotd8, post: 296639, member: 62420"] Are both machines running at 1000/Mbps ? Directly connected thru a switch? I started with my machines connected thru the router and had similar problems to yours. Once I bought a Gigabit switch, all those problems went away. I stream XVID avi's, 720P and 1080P mkv's thru my network without issue. Although the 1080p mkv's used to stutter a little until I bought a 8600GT video card for $50. Also, I've noticed when running a torrent client using high upload speed all of my network traffic slows. Do you have stuttering issues when not running a torrent client? If not, buy a $25 Gigabit ethernet card and use both NICs. I'm not sure how to set that up in Windows, but I run OpenSolaris and ZFS on my fileserver. ;) [/QUOTE]
