Re: Bit Torrent Uploads Being Disconnected I would add that I try to use BT responsibly! I use uTorrent, and have made full use of its "scheduler" feature to set different bandwidth limits at different times of day, ensuring I'm not too greedy during the peak hours, and only letting it go full on in the early hours. |

This method will provide you with the best results, as I noted in a previous post right now everything is managed in one big bucket connection wise. Thus in peak there are throttles on the amounts of connections, while during off peak hours you won't fall victim to the management profiles.

| I also limit my upload speeds - just in case it affects my wife's web surfing (and I would be in serious trouble then!).
What are the "quiet" times when we may be able to initiate a seed?
Thanks, Steve |

I just wish the default behavior of the majority of these P2P programs wasn't to open up right from boot. I'd be willing to bet a large percentage of people don't even know they are sharing

1 edit | Thank you for your comments on this issue Jason.
I think "I'd be willing to bet a large percentage of people don't even know they are sharing" is not an overstatement for P2P in general, but cannot be generalized for torrents as well. I have yet to see the torrent protocol used in any malware programs, and people who use torrents quite often understand the difference between download/upload and maintaining a ratio on the torrent, which is what torrents rely on: peers uploading and supporting the swarm.
Oh and I am very anxious to hear about those new product offerings you mentioned. Is there a time frame that we should expect these to be unveiled in? Spring 2006?  |

I agree, I'm didn't mean to toss torrents into that bucket the issue is that the torrent traffic is grouped into that overall bucket where a connection is a connection either it be Kazaa / Limewire or Bit Torrent. Down the line we hope to have the ability to manage each application individually.
