Before you do that, limit your upstream on bittorrent to about 100kbps and see if you see the same impact. It could actually be that you are maxing your upstream which would cause problems with latency.

....and I just realised what you meant: I'm not serving BitTorrent, just downloading (unless StarCraft turns my system into a BitTorrent sever when its running).

We do not use BitTorrent in any way other than when games client update/launchers use it to update game clients (WoT and Blizzard game launchers appear to do this).

shouldn't they have an option to disable uploading of the files on the client ? otherwise its no wonder nothing is playable if the updater is acting as a peer seed for multiple clients .......

Annoying, to say the least. One follow-up question from me: why don't you enable QoS on the upstream side of the router by default?

The 2nd was the upstream contention problem.

Quote from: Froug One follow-up question from me: why don't you enable QoS on the upstream side of the router by default?
Upstream QOS is enabled by default however may need some tweaking to match your use.
In my case this was for an online backup service running over HTTPS where I needed to change the priority of an existing rule and FTP uploads to my web server for which I had to create a new rule.
I didn't have much success with bit-torrent type traffic as it was too difficult to easily identify all the connections.

I know this is complicated, but I did not have ANY issues of this kind with BE.

which is both a blessing and a curse as your finding out, i'm sure there is a simple way of limiting all p2p traffic uploads to under 10% so your connection wont get saturated....of course it might require exceptions to be added for some games (on an ip by ip basis) so they work fine
really the problem rather than being isp based is game downloader based, it should have a simple setting menu that allows you to cap uploads

Perhaps this is a corner case, but given my bad experience with the speed profile issue, I wonder how widespread problems really are.
