I have been using 4OD for a while now and it hasnt slowed down my machines (Both PC and Laptop).
That could possibly be, Because I dont download anything, I just use the streaming facility. But even then, The KService is open and running and that is what is supposed to do the slowing down.
Sorry I cant help with your problem branaghburgers.
Yes, it's the Skype of TV.
Erm no matter how good or bad your computer is having 4OD (Kservice.exe) WILL slow down (just like ANY other piece of software) your computer.
If you don't believe me go into the processes tab on task manager and look and how much memory it is using it also uses a lot of processor time.
It dosnt matter if you dont download anything from 4OD. It is peer to peer based. 4OD is bad because they use your bandwidth to send other people content sort of like an uncontrollable torrent.
Never mind the memory usage, i downloaded an episode of hollyoaks, and was shocked to notice that over a course of 2 days it had uploaded 17gb using my connection! as a virgin media customer and with upload stm, this could have been a big problem!
Thank god for DU meter, i can now keep an eye on whats uploading using my connection (never normally more than 0.2kb)
