ZA Free v8.0.65.0 - Beware

PeterT · 12-14-2008, 09:43 PM

On Friday night, I upgraded from the most recent version (v7.0.483.000) to the just released version (v8.0.65.0) on my XP Pro box. At first it seemed fine, but yesterday, I started to notice problems and today it got worse (unusable). My 7mbps cable connection seemed to slow down and/or hang when loading pages. I ran some speed tests today on speedtest.net and my local Roadrunner speed test site and found that it would hang at about 40-70% of the download test. I disabled ZA and it worked fine.
Luckily, I had the sense to create an image before upgrading. I restored to that image and now my connection is fine. I guess I'll stay on v7 for now and waiti for the next version to be released.
Beware.
