[OT] Bittorrent and Networking

[Thomas Milne]

I have two linux machines on my network, with a Linksys WRT54G router
(running Tomato). If I run Transmission bittorrent client on one
machine, it's okay, but if both are running Transmission, the whole
network grinds to a halt. Even if I put a speed limit on both clients,
so that each only uses a small percentage of the bandwidth (admittedly
slim at around 2 Mb), it is still impossible to do anything else on
the network.

Has anyone encountered a situation like this? I am a total beginner
when it comes to configuring routers, beyond port forwarding.
