Controlling Bittorrents

[Raize]

I've been using Shareaza for my Bittorrent transfers now for quite some time. The only problem I have is this:

1) I share a net connection with 3 other people.
2) Shareaza's upload limiter does affect my BT transfers.

Does anyone know a way to "choke" your BT transfer in Shareaza? I appreciate the ability to set my uploads at a lower rate for the other uploads, but the problem is my BT uploads always seem to kill my net connection and thus piss off the others using it.

I don't think this kind of thing is limited to just Shareaza as being a problem. I just don't see any reason why my connection has to die in order for me to be able to download something. I don't mind downloading slower because I'm uploading slower.

Grab a copy of netlimiter - http://www.netlimiter.com/

You can control the upload and download speed of any application on your computer - it's great (i personally use it for Ares b/c Ares doesn't let you limit the partial upload speed, and I also share my net connection with others)

That is one thing which really pisses me off about Ares. I hadn't thought of net limiter - good idea.

But BT is really going to suck if you limit its upload speed. If you don't mind downloading at 5/kbs or less go for it. Other wise us a real BT client when you want to use BT.
