Below the list of downloads are several settings (Fig. 74).
TCP Listening port: Choose a router port through which the torrent
service will operate.
Download limit rate: Type a number here to restrict 2imum down-
load rates.
Upload limit rate: Type a number here to restrict 2imum upload
rates.
2. active torrents: Type a number here to limit the number of torrents
that can download/upload simultaneously. Type zero for no limit.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Because the torrent client service uses band-

impact Network Space 2 performance. Additionally, even after a
download has completed, it may continue to use system resources if
it is uploading, as long as the torrent is active.
