that makes sense, but I doubt where I am has barely anyone else using the cable internet system...there are only 10-12 houses here in the neighborhood, could be businesses up the road though
I had the cable tech come out this morning and I talked with him about it a little bit, he said I shouldn't be seeing anything different for the amount of traffic I have going through, it is only the big abusers that should be seeing the effect
sure enough, he went up and checked my lines on the pole, a fucking animal had chewed through a segment of my cable lines exposing the raw cable and allowing water to get into the lines, causing my internet to act screwy. he thinks the fact that I was on bittorrent at the time was just a coincidence
he just left, I am going to fire it all up again and see what happens
