Bitcomet

I'm using bitcomet right now and since yesterday its acting really slow and choppy. It still downloads stuff but when I open up the window, it never goes back to the start menu bar so I have to do ctrl+alt+delete to shut it off all the time. Why is this happening? Anyone? Oh and does the upload amount affect the dl amount(speed wise. like would I get a lower dlspeed if I set upload speed limit from 100kb to 50kb?)?

bitcomet has really annoying adware. the first thing i saw when i opened it was a paypal banner right in the middle. i realize it's free software, mr programmer, but can you do your begging outside my house kthx.
