It also chokes networks - an open seeding torrent client significantly increases latency, even with the number of connections limited.

It's a problem we have in my house with Spotify, which utilises P2P to lower costs - it has a negative effect on anyone else who is gaming.

Doesn't qos alleviate that, though?
