Downloading Fedora-17 via bittorrent is going very slowly, averaging
about 150 Kbytes/sec on a connection that usually achieves about 300
Kbytes/sec. More interesting is that the connection is useless for
every other purpose: very slow access to the Web; connections time out;
etc. When bittorrent is paused, these problems go away. My provider is
ATT, which advertizes connection speeds of about 300 Kbytes/sec down and
75 Kbytes/sec up.
Is ATT or anyone else watching for bittorrent traffic on my connection
and cutting back other service because of it.
