yep, once you have ed2k or bt running - even if you limit bandwidth to 1k/1k - you'll have problems browsing.
the problem first surfaced after tstt's hsia service 'upgrade' on sept. 29th

Haha, yup, once bittorent is running at full speed it basically kills your net. And even if you limit it to like 6kbps, the net will seem slow. I use utorrent, and use the scheduler so that it goes at full speed from 12 in the night till 6 in the morning, when I'm most likely not using the net. During the day it is set to be off completely. Works great for me.

I noticed that the connection seems to get better the longer u stay online.
I cannot say anything about bt, but with emule running longer than a day you will see
significant improvements - you can browse normally and download at (almost) full speed.

The reason for that is that people initially bombard you with requests for files and stuff, once this settles you should browse pretty well i.e. settling time

<My ADSL is 256K.>
Actually, I use Azureus and I download at full speed with no problems browsing. (using Firefox or Opera).
However when seeding I am unable to browse any site whatsoever. So to fix that I limited my upload slots to 1 connection per user and a max upload speed of 5KB/sec and I was able to surf the web with little slow down.
BT really does max out your adsl and the 256k does'nt seem fast at all but thats what we residential folks have to deal with, at least for now.
TSTT's adsl residential package is best used for email, web surfing, streaming audio and low quality streaming video.
When using BT, for good practice, download ONLY one torrent at a time and limit your upload speeds to 5KB/s or ONLY SEED AT MAX SPEED WHEN YOUR NOT USING THE INTERNET. Remember you need to give back to the network what you've downloded, so YOU STILL NEED TO SEED! Some trackers dont allow you to completely download a file or files unles you've contributed your share via seeding OR you may even experience really slow download speeds.
