Ensure a Fast Internet Connection When You Need It
Your internet connection is an indispensable part of your life, but between BitTorrent, Xbox Live, web browsing, and VoIP, sometimes there's not enough bandwidth to go around. But rather than running around the house shutting down all of your computers next time you're experiencing a little lag on Xbox Live or Skype is breaking up on you, you can set up Quality of Service (QoS) rules on your router to distribute bandwidth to your different gadgets and applications based on your priorities. Today I'll show you how. Article here.

BitTorrent & Co are as legal as any FTP program. It is illegal for the user to download copyrighted materials, and that is a completely different matter.
