Weird network lag

[OVerLoRDI]

So I wasn't sure how to title this, but I hope the title gets people to look.

I have 2 net connections on the same computer. I bind my uTorrent/ftp/apexdcc to one connection and then have all my web browsing/gaming going out my other connection. I had this setup running before but now I have a weird problem.

When running uTorrent on one connection (I am 99% sure I have uTorrent properly configured) and playing a game on my other connection my ping is all over the place. I close uTorrent and my pings return to normal.

I have checked my router for my gaming connection and when uTorrent is running there is no change in activity. So maybe it is a windows network stack issue slowing things down? I am running Windows 7 64bit and have plenty of ram and cpu horsepower for this sort of thing.

Any thoughts?

Edit: Before people assume, both of these connections are mine to access as I please, I did not hack a wireless network.

I'm betting there's a concurrency issue in the W7 stack relating to this. You're doing something pretty uncommon for a home user.

Just as an aside, why don't you just limit the bandwidth of your uTorrent and use a single connection?

How do you know that games aren't using your torrent connection?

Task Manager activity. I have multiple monitors.
