Since I'm experimenting with linux, I'm frequently downloading distros. However, this is becoming a serious issue since it's completely shutting down browsing when I do. I set my limit down 1 mb/s from my max speed and still I can't browse when downloading and my ping gets fucking massive! I've been screwing around with connection settings in Utorrent and it's not helping the slightest!
Who can help me out?

That much packet loss? That is pretty weird. Don't have any torrents running and do the test again. I don't know why you'd be getting so much packet loss. As far as I'm aware packet loss is mainly caused by bad cables, so looking into that my be good. Where this might not be true is if you're using the UPD protocol and your upstream gets extremely jammed. So also want to make sure your upload rate is capped with the torrents.
It'd make sense that browsing the internet with TCP/IP with a lot of packet loss would result in really slow speeds. Most servers decide to exchange data with you at a rate where you don't lose any packets.

I'm guessing he's being throttled by his ISP.

That's a pretty shitty way of throttling if that's the case.

Upload is already capped. Cable is just fine.

AFAIK, I'm not.

I have found the source of the problem.
Seriously, you need to get that fixed. You should never be losing precious packets like that :v:
Talk to your ISP, have them run a line check. What country are you in?
drop the amount of connections allowed, your router may be overloading (especially if it's shitty ISP-provided one)
happens to me sometimes

Do the test while torrenting and while not torrenting. Make sure it is at a typical level when you do the test. Post the results. This is just to check if the issue is caused by torrenting or if it just made worse. You may have to call up your ISP. You could try pinging some other computers on the network and see if there is any loss, and there isn't there in it likely on the ISP side.
Loss is an issue with sending data, as in you send a message and it doesn't reach the destination. Regardless if you're torrenting or not it shouldn't add to your packet loss. So if you verify that there is no reason for loss to occur on your end, it must be the ISP.
The test above was done while not torrenting. This test was done while torrenting with a download speed of roughly 2mb/s, which is what I usually have.

Interesting enough, I was able to browse the internet just fine. Seriously, what the flying fuck is happening here?

If you're referring to the 'global amount of connections' setting, that's set to 100.

I have two torrents going, I have 808 connections open.
Are you using a router? If so post the model.
