Why would torrents screw with your ping?

Please don't tell me you're running torrents and complaining about a high ping???
:confused:

-edit-
That's like asking why running 10 defrags on your harddrive with 50 applications slows down your computer.

I am on a wireless connection right now which goes through a modem, when I was directly on the modem the connection was still the same as now.

some routers put a low priority on responding to ICMP stuff. they're busy doing actual data transfer you know.

I have about 90 programs running in my task manager, what are common names of torrents and what are common memory usage amounts of torrents?

I am borrowing my father's computer, so I don't know what programs are running in the background, I closed one program in the task bar that was a torrent.

Wow I thought mine was bad at ~700.

I had a PC that was FSB overclocked and the ping even to 127.0.0.1 was some crazy number like 430005443333ms! Putting the FSB back to normal brought the ping back to <1ms for localhost.
