Sivar writes ""Anyone VoIP or online gamer who has a roommate or a family member who uses BitTorrent (or any P2P application) knows what a nightmare it is when BitTorrent is in use. The ping (round trip latency) goes through the roof and it stays there making VoIP packets drop out and game play impossible." George Ou looks into why BitTorrent seems to affect performance so much more than other types of file transfer and a controversial way to fix it."
