When I have a bittorrent download (using BitComet) going it makes everything else go very slowly. It's especially noticeable if I try to use the web at the same time. Ok so this is to be expected really but I want to know specifically what causes it. It sometimes happens when a download is going at 30k (I have a 4Mbps connection) but sometimes it doesn't happen even if it's going 200k. I suspect it's to do with the amount of TCP connections it uses. Anyone able to shed some light on this? I want to find out how I can limit my bt usage so web still works without too many problems. I realise it will affect my download speed though. I'm not expecting miracles.
Why does bittorrent make everything so slow?

Run this http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=1497 to increase the tcp connections.
And use utorrent aswell, much better than bitcomet. Doesn't affect your system as much.

not sure what its features list is, All I know is I can download faster in utorrent than others (did use bitcomet for a few years). And it has less impact on your system.
Just checked the faq:
Does µTorrent support multi-tracker torrents?
Yes. µTorrent currently announces to all tracker groups at the same time, but only one tracker per torrent group. To see the trackers in the torrent, simply double click on it, or right click and select Properties. Trackers separated by an empty line indicate they are in separate tracker groups

just use utorrent, its SOO much better than any other torrent client
i have utorrent running on this pc and another remote one, and can still use remote desktop between them with no problems
try downing your upload to about 10 to see if that solves your problems?
the usage of utorrent is very low too, can play games no problem with very little (not noticable) fps loss

just uninstall bitcomet, install utorrent, open the torrent files in utorrent, and point it to save the files in the same directory as they were in bitcomet
it should check how much is downlodaed and resume from the same point

Right here
It involves upgrading the firmware to an unofficial version. It's still based on the original so most things are the same, it just adds loads more options.

You seem to know a lot about this sort of thing, so I hope you don't mind me asking this.tolien said:
I read somewhere (when using DD-WRT) about whenever you setup port-forwarding in the router, and it has the firewall turned on, you had to edit a NAT table or something.
