Hello all.... things are getting really nasty between bit torrent and I. What was once a loving, understanding relationship has become muddy with miscommunication ![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The Problem: Whenever I try to use Bit Torrent, my normal browsing slows to an absolute crawl. BT isn't going very fast either. This happens even when I'm substantially under my max up and downspeed. By substantially, I mean even at <10kb/s
My connection: VerizonDSL 3.0/384.
My brand new router: Buffalo Tech Gigabit Dual Band 802.11n WZR-AG300N. I am connecting wired to this, not wireless.
My general BT settings: Upload capped at 30kb/s. Download uncapped. 80 connections allowed per torrent. 100-200 allowed globally (i've tried between. Azureus and uTorrent have different opinions of what settings to use here). Using ports 5002, 5004, 5010. Usually 5002. NAT light is green.
Currently: Downloading 1 torrent ( yes, its legal. Its a japanese TV show) 20kb/s down, 11kb/s up. Rest of my connection is slow as hell.
This started awhile ago.... I remember a time I could upload at 30K, DL at over 200, and it still not influence browsing or other tasks. I have no idea what has gone wrong. At first I thought it was my old router, which consequently was on the Azureus "Bad" list. This new one is quite a bit more robust from what I can tell, however. So what the heck is going on? Anyone have a clue? Thanks!
Edit: It may be worth mentioning that the browsing slowdown happens even when just /seeding/ a torrent (at 11-15kbps). So it can't be that I'm using too much download bandwidth... hmmm..
