What Torrent program do you use?
I was thinking about changing my torrent program as uTorrent seems to keep locking up my entire pc and ive kinda got fed up with it.

so what torrent programs are recommended?

I use Azureus, with all the fancy stuff turned off. Seems to do the trick.

I have noticed that pretty much all torrent programs I've tried thoroughly twat my connection and cause everything else to crawl along.

I have mine limited to 10kb/s upload without a top limit for downloads. Even with downloads coming in at 20-30kb/s the web slows down noticeably.

Might be an Azureus issue, but I don't worry cos I don't use if more than a couple of times a week.

Am I right in thinking that you're using a Mac?

I use Transmission for Mac. I used to use Azureus and this is much better. Doesn't slow anything down. Not noticeably, anyway.

azureus, and have for years. I only usually use it when I'm not on the computer though so I wouldn't have noticed any slowdown or owt.
