All torrent software kills internet browsing

[Jazojas12]

I don't want to limit it all the time. I want a program that prioritizes network bandwidth, something like QoS.
So say on the list 1. Safari 2. Transmission.
Transmission is downloading at 1MB/s (my max)..then I go to watch a video on YouTube..I want the app to give Safari the bandwidth to download the video, say 500KB for Safari's needs and the rest of the 1MB would stay for Transmission. When Safari is done downloading, the 1MB/s would be restored to Transmission until Safari required it again.

ahhh i see now just something to priorities what apps have priority over others for sharing bandwith, could be usefull if something like that existed

Yes, I found an application but it didn't work on SL..I think it was Leopard only. It's not a huge deal because I'm not using Transmission all the time but it would still be nice. I've looked for something like that on my modem (Motorola 3347-02) but can't find anything that works.

i know why it does that...

THEY caught you. the man. dirty pirater. you wouldn't download a car would you?

just kidding, I would. but those things are like 65TB so it takes too long.

most torrent applications have a built in bandwidth setting that should allow you to change how much you are using, and can still browse the internet. I know utorrent does.

Try disabling ipSec PassThrough in your router

First up, yeah I know this thread is old, but the problem isn't.

Second, wow, some of the people in this thread were so unnecessarily rude to the OP.

This is a genuine problem that is usually caused by settings in the router. As some have already discovered disabling PnP/Nat might work. The other culprit can be 'ipSec PassThrough'. If you have this setting enabled on your router, try disabling it.

If you already tried disabling PnP/Nat and it didn't work, but disabling ipSec PassThrough does work, don't forget to re-enable Pnp/Nat.
