Hi Holly,

Matthias seems to have confused the issue with his "bandwidth niceness" 
analogy.

I believe that his problem are with saturation of his broadband 
connection, in which case he'd get the same problem even if Azureus was 
running on a different PC from his web-browser. Matthias wants to give 
p2p maximum bandwidth & have the router sort it out so that he gets no 
latency on other connections - this is what traffic-shaping does.
