Gotta say I've seen it differently. Anytime a torrent client opens on my network, speeds drop tremendously, no matter how I throttle it. QoS on my Smoothwall doesn't help, either. I've tried different computers, bypassing the Smoothwall, and in every case, I'm getting smacked. I think there's something to this. I haven't done any testing; maybe I'll do a speedtest with a torrent client opened and throttled tonight and see what I get.
