Most people experience the internet slowing down when they use a torrent client, but I’ve found a simple fix for that.
Step 1. Open utorrent or your preffered bittorrent client.
Step 2. Go to Options, then click the preferences option.
Step 3. Go to the “bittorrent” tab in the preferences menu. It will most likely be named something else if you don’t use utorrent, but the options should be relatively the same.
Step 4. Set the max connections and max peers numbers to be lower, I chose 100/50, because it worked better than 150/100, which was the first thing I tried.
You can toy around with it a bit to try and get the best results, but what I set works for me.
I can now browse the web while I download, without it running sub-56k speeds.

It should only affect you if you’re needing to connect to an amount of connections higher than what you have set, which would require more than 4 or 5 torrents going at once usually.
