Torrent bandwidth

So, I have a 12 meg cable connection., When I run uTorrent, lets say its at 120k down 58k up (just for example). My internet connection DIES. It takes 45 secs to load a webpage, even though I should have plenty of bandwidth available. Anything that can be done about it? It does this when only using a small % of my pipe.
 
Could be the result of a bad router. Do you have any other computers on the network? If so, you can test to see if the symptoms are network wide or confined to only your computer.
 
No router, no other PC's on network.

Right now Im at 83k up...so about 730k, so theres my bandwidth. Blech I need FIOS.

You know the funny thing I didnt think about upstream...I honestly didnt think it would affect web browsing that much. My ping times to yahoo are 1700ms. When I pause it, pings are <70ms as normal.
 
I would cap your upload speed at something around maybe 50kbps. When you saturate your entire upload bandwidth, the requests for data and confirmations of packet deliveries are delayed, making the Internet very sluggish and even causing lost connections.
 
limit number of connections
cheap router can be overwhelmed
ddrwrt or decent router qos can fix things. set bittorrent as bulk traffic. i use ddwrt and it works fine.
1mb up is what? 125kb/s?
even at 83k it shouldn't be flooding your connection. you can set qos to use 80-85% of your max and still the connection should be fine. which would be around 100k for u
