Shaw throttles torrent downloads, which makes Torrents download super slow...but it shouldn't affect your general internet speeds.

But if your internet is slowing down because of torrent downloads, that's your router not being able to manage the number of connections properly. (P2P and Torrents use many simultaneous connections)

This is common problem for lower-end routers. Lower the number of max. connections in your Torrent client. Start with 50 connections and move up from there.

Or google your router and see if you can find out the number of connections it can handle.
