My friend likes to download old movies-most of whom are not available elsewhere. He has TW Roadrunner 10/1 Internet. Most tiems his torrents take off, but within a few minutes his connection slows to a crawl-and remains so until he closes UTorrent-then it's right back up to speed immediately.
I mean his torrents slow to under 100 kbps. Just for the heck of it, we both downloaded the same torrent at the same time. My DSL Extreme 6/.768 was averaging 480 kbps, his 10/1 was going at about that speed initially but then about 10 minutes into the torrent, abruptly slowed to about 70 kbps. During this time my DSLX continued flying along.
reply to qworster Or he just has set his torrent client to a high number of connections which most home/office routers can't handle. My OpenSUSE torrent came in with 1.7 MB/s almost the entire time, and is still seeding today. -- "I reject your reality and substitute my own!"
