Default Are torrent/youtube sapping bandwidth?

I noticed that turning on the torrent actually takes/drinks up the bandwidth, as seen in the Comodo Firewall's status.

Is it true? How am I going to control the bandwidth so that the downloads aren't too much affected and at the same time, web-surfing is much easier?

Most bittorrent clients have the option to limit the upload/download speed.

If you have a 1 mbps connection, that would normally mean a maximum speed of 50-60KB/s. Set a limit of about 30-40KB/s should work well.

Eh, yeah, don't forget to limit the upload speed. For the 1 mbps Streamyx account, you only have a MAXIMUM upload speed of 384 kbps. That's about 30-35KB/s in actual speed.
