Utorrent slows down your web browsing ie firefox

[100%]

I have been suffering with this for ages. Utorrent killed all browsing potential.

Found solution here http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992

copy paste

• COMMON PROCEDURES (reiterated just to be sure)
• Restart µTorrent, your computer, modem, and/or router after performing any of the suggestions below
• Try lowering net.max_halfopen to 8 or lower (Can be found in Preferences > Advanced)
• Try disabling IP resolving in the Peers tab's context menu
• Try disabling DHT (Can be found in Preferences > BitTorrent)
• Try disabling UPnP and NAT-PMP (Can be found in Preferences > Connection)
• Try disabling peer.resolve_country if it isn't already set to false (Can be found in Preferences > Advanced)
• Try lowering maximum global number of connections to 200? 100? 50? Lower? (Can be found in Preferences > BitTorrent)
• Try patching TCPIP.sys (Windows XP w/ SP2, Windows 2003 w/ SP1, or newer)? Windows Vista users can try this out, but no guarantees are made. Users not on Windows XP w/ SP2, Windows 2003 w/ SP1, Windows Vista, or newer can skip this step.
• Connect your computer directly to the modem to make sure the problem is not caused by the router

For all of you NOD32 users out there, this'll also probably help:

With µTorrent downloading, IE7 and Firefox were slow to start and slow to browse. Issue resolved by >
NOD32
Setup
Antivirus and antispyware
Web Access Protection
HTTP
Web Browsers
EXCLUDE µTorrent.exe

Is that solution limiting the number of torrents I can seed? Please respond.

Guys, what number of half-open connections you set in uTorrent after patching TCPIP.sys. At the moment my uTorrent client is set to 50 half-open connections of 252 available on my Windows 7.
