So you're using Bit Torrent on a routed network? Damn man, no wonder it's going slow! My family shares a DSL connection on four computers, all on a Linksys routed network. If my brother connects to Bit Torrent, it slows down everyone's computers to a crawl (concerning the Internet). Downloads go alright, but webpages take FOREVER to load!
The reason? Bit Torrent uses every last ounce of uploading bandwidth allowed for broadband. When people download the Torrents from you, you're using upload bandwidth to send it to them. This results in the bandwidth being hogged by Bit Torrent. Webpages are loading by downloading, but the initial request for a webpage is sent through uploading. If the upload bandwidth is taken by Bit Torrent, then the requests for webpages will be slow as hell due to the upload bandwidth being limited!
I suggest you close out Bit Torrent and see if that helps. My webpages load at sub-56k speeds when Bit Torrent is ran on our network.
