Tried Linux and ran Play Music Manager and Steam. Both worked fine.
So it's definitely limited to my PC (on Windows). Also reset router settings and the problem is still there.

I really don't see what could be causing it...

There is your problem you said it yourself, sure fire fix is backup needed documents/files and do a fresh install of windows. Could be settings/software/virus causing the issue fresh install would fix it 100% without wasting any more time trying any little thing.

You could try uninstalling each client, deleting the relevant firewall rule and then re-installing each client (re-allowing and re-creating each firewall rule).

What is your idle network usage like?

Also, are there any other devices on the network that may be using up bandwidth? (Smartphones, tablets, other laptops, neighbours, etc)

The only other idea I have is the DNS used. Try switching to googles DNS instead of your ISP DNS.

Nah, no use of bandwidth.
I'll have a look at Google's DNS, but I'd rather not change any protocol settings.

Or alternatively, if he already changed the DNS settings to a custom DNS, try setting it to automatic.

Already set to automatic.

The problem is, that it's a family computer.
I plan on getting a new one for Christmas, so I suppose I'll have to live with the problem 'till then.

Thanks for all the help guys.

For something like Minecraft, do you still experience the problem when connecting to the IP address of a server? My server's not running right now, but my domain is sicklycraft.com , and the IP that translates to is 98.109.190.190. I imagine you'd have problems connecting to a server under a domain name (like sicklycraft.com), but what happens if you were to try connecting to its IP address?

Again, my server isn't running right now, so you won't be able to connect to it period.

I'm not sure.
The thing is, I can't even connect to the Minecraft servers to download update files or anything. It just won't work.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
