use netlimiter. neat program to hold down your more enthusiastic BT clients which do not have upload caps

The WoW torrent has been a pain in the ass since Alpha. Unfortunatly it's only gotten worse as the game has progressed into beta. You use to be able to set upload and download limits. It's also been notoriously picky about NIC drivers. Decent game though, I've been in since Alpha.
