Odd bandwidth behavior at hotel

[OogyWaWa]

I'm staying in a hotel/suite for the next few months and their internet is giving me all kinds of problems. I can't seem to get any decent speeds via HTTP. Even google takes a few seconds to come up. However, I'm torrenting a VM appliance at 150k+. What gives?

Your torrent is likely eating up all the sessions and upload on the customer side of the router so you are wrecking the performance of everything else.

the http speed is slow regardless of torrents running

Maybe your hotel just has a crappy ISP?

Try opening your adapter properties and set DNS to Google's DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).
