Okay, yes that would be the original BitTorrent Client. I dont see why your webcache would be interferring with anything. What exactly do you mean by trouble using "bit torrent"? If you mean slow download speeds, then there may be a couple options. If you just set-up the program then you most likely dont have the programs upload/download ratio set correctly. But if you experienced this problem after switching to AOL then AOL is most likely "watching" what you download and classifying it as P2P/BitTorrent internet traffic and limiting the amount of bandwidth allowed to it. I believe that AOL "watching" your downloads is most likely what is happening (assuming slow download speeds are your problem). If so then I would suggest switching Torrent clients. I would personally recommend uTorrent. The reason being that it has the ability to encrypt the data it is downloading and therefore AOL cannot classify it as P2P/BitTorrent internet traffic and therefore they wont slow down your downloads! I was having the problems with slow downloads and. This is the site for uTorrent (www.utorrent.com) and the link on how to properly set it up (http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/335210). This guide works wonders!

Dont forget that firewall settings might hinder your torrent downloads.

Iceminx is right a firewall can potentially slow down your torrents but a properly cofigured firewall shouldnt hinder your speeds so much you will notice and completely turning off your firewall is a definitely a bad thing to do.
