Re: [OT] ADSL Speeds using BitTorrents

Yes its normal because bittorrents flood your machine with incoming
and out=
going connections.

Letting people download from you makes things worse because when you flood
=
your upstream
bandwidth (which isnt much on 1mb) you put a serious lag on your download
b=
andwidth because
upsteam is used to make requests for downstream etc.

Rule one is that bittorrent is crap.. aint used it in years... stick to
use=
net or something.
