I also use bitcoin-qt, and even tho the sync is optimised in the latest release, it sure does take long to get it fired up, rescanning, verifying blocks, syncing with the network o_O
Just leave it on and it will be both loaded and synced, and the drain on your connection bandwidth will be minimal.
cheers
Topic: Bitcoin app turns my internet off (Read 1026 times)
Yeah, it is probably just busy trying to sync or something. Maybe it will respond after a few minutes.
Same app ive used last year on the pc now i go back on it and it stops all internet on my pc and when i end process with task manager the things like youtube suddenly work again.
It keeps doing it even with new bitcoin version i just added

The strange thing is you have had the same app for around a year but only now is giving problems, have you tried deleting the app and reinstalling?
I was going to say did you update utorrent recently because a 3rd party has added a silent miner if you agree to it?
If not the torrent hope you get the answers you need that must be annoying
may be its some bug .
You must have downloaded an app that is actually a bitcoin miner disguised as an app
It uses your whole computer power and internetconnectiom

FTFY.
Also miners do not require that much bandwith. Without any knowledge about which "app" or programm OP downloaded and uses we can only speculate. So its probably best to wait for an answer first. I suspect its bitcoin core/qt and is just syncing the blockchain.
It will need some time to catch up on the latest blockchain events aka sync the blockchain. There should be a greenish bar at the bottom telling you how much time your version of the blockchain is behind the rest of the network. You can also see how much bandwidth its using via help -> console -> traffic (the actual words might be different, cant check that right now).
You have several options:
slow and safe: just wait, it will be done syncing eventually. How long exactly depends on your network speed, how many blocks you are missing and some other less significant factors.
faster and slightly more risky: you can export the private keys you need to spend the coins and reimport them into another slim (e.g. multibit) or online wallet. The risk depends on your knowledge regarding wallets and how to securly handle private keys.
fastest and most risky version: send someone your wallet.dat and password along with your deposit address for the exchange and let them do the transaction. Speed and risky depends on who you send it to. Someone you know personally and trust that has a fully synced bitcoin core/qt would be best.
IMHO: go with option one

Then I think your bitcoin core is trying to sync with the other nodes... and it will take some a lot of bandwidth if you hand't used core for months.

Maybe you have downloaded a trojan/virus, can you please tell us the name of this bitcoin app ? Maybe is it a bitcoin check-price app or something like that?
