Not due to OSX.
You probably didn't set a reasonable max upload speed limit, perhaps 75% of your available uplink bandwidth.
(If you saturdate your UL limit, then your other requests will be slower to get to the web, and slower downloads).
By the way, your excuse does NOT make sense. A company doing such a thing
- won't be doing that on a employee machine
- won't be doing that on a laptop that travels to different networks
- won't be doing that on a computer at the employee's home
- won't be doing that on a machine connecting to wifi
Instead a company would do it with a server.
Well since my company consists of 3 other people, we have no one with in that massive 3 people (that's including me) that is anywhere near network savy, and we use torrents because we are 3 film makers trying to build our production company. I was trying to download some dailies that we put up. Sorry my excuses don't work for you. I really don't know what ever came over me...
- my employee machine is my home computer
- my laptop travels from starbucks, to my network, to our office network, and to the home network of the two other people I work with...
- again my computer is my home computer and my home is practically my office anyways.
- I'm doing it on a machine that is connected to Wifi because I otherwise have to sit in my closet or other wise buy a 100 ft cable to make it to the office or bedroom
Again sorry these "excuses" don't make sense to you. Don't worry I just called the Make Sense Police and they are on their way for my bad behavior with my excuses that don't make sense. I hope the Make Sense judge can't understand my excuses then, but I'm sure they won't make sense since I will be in Make Sense Land. Troll.

UPDATE: So time warner has come and gone. They said my signal strength from the line was strong, and there was a power outage yesterday. That is why I lost signal in the morning. He also found the modem was not performing a nicely as it should have been compared to the signal. He replaced the modem and the signal strength was consistent straight from the line and straight from the modem. We then tested my download/upload speeds using speedtest.net and the first two times he tried it we got 1.5 and 4 mbs. Then we tried it using the ethernet port and we got 9.5. We then tried wifi again and got 9.5ish again; this was all while trying two different websites. He said my modem might be the big problem here if it is giving such inconsistent download upload speeds.
Thoughts?
