Bit torrent client question Do they all slow down ur computer/browser or are some better than others? I use Azureus at the moment but I can only really use it when Im not using my computer.
ABC is the best one i have found...slows browsing down slightly but that cos of the bandwidth it uses not the system resources
You can set your global upload limit in most clients, it's best to set it at ~80% of your total upload bandwidth, that provides more than enough to not limit your browsing, and will speed up your uploading and downloading on the torrents too (if it's at max it slows down the requests for the pieces). The global upload limit isn't too accurate on most clients, so it's also good to use a program like Netlimiter, and limit the upload of the client a little.
I use BitTornado and thats a tiny prog it just sits in the background quietly downloading. Never noticed any slow down at all. other than obviously when browsing the net when dloading at 100k!
Do you know your upload speed on your connection? If not, hunt for a bandwidth test site on Google. Most broadband has upload speed of 256kb/s, so ~20kB/s for the limit is about right if that's the upload speed you have.
