Just as a side note, for all those people having problems with torrents, you do know to set your upstream limit a lot lower than your maximum upstream, right?

For example on 10mb the upstream is roughly 60k, but your maximum allowable upstream in torrents (combined) should be about 20k (if you plan to get fast downloads) or around 50k (if you're only seeding). Otherwise your upstream will cause a bottle neck effect, and your modem will reset.
