      Hey all,
      I have two incoming internet connections, one is a 35 mbit connection, and one is an 8 mbit connection, I have rules defined to route all traffic from my personal machine via the 35 mbit path, which works perfectly and is verified through speedtests, and sites like ipchicken.com.

      But when I start a torrent, it routes via the 35mbit pipe.. for about 5 minutes, then the 8 mbit pipe completely fills up with torrent traffic, right along with the 35 mbit line. I do not want this to happen, and no - I do not have any load balancing settings enabled.

      If anyone has some insight on why this may be happening, I'd be happy to hear.

      Thanks all
      -Aaron
