I'm currently having trouble with the betfair poker software. Whenever my housemate has azureus open on his computer, it causes betfair poker on my computer to experience connection problems (connection is lost for recurring, short periods of time). If I then close azureus on his computer, betfair poker has no problem at all.
We have a bt homehub and are both connected via ethernet. The computers are running vista (although the same problem was experienced when running XP).
He is running too many torrents at once, overloading the upstream on your internet connection. Vuze allows you to set the maxiumum number of active torrents and seeds, as well as the maximum upspeed.
Unfortunately I don't think it's as easy as that. I have experienced the same problem even when he's got only 1 or no torrents at all running! Thanks for suggestion though.

Then he is lying to you about the torrents because THAT IS the problem. If you have slow upload speed like most internets have 1M or 2M, it means you can upload 100-200kB/s at maximum. If your friend is uploading near the maximum of your internets upload speed, that causes web browsers and programs that use internet to lag / disconnect. It's a fact.
If you have 1M upload speed then restrict the upload speed to 50kB/s maximum in overall, not just per torrent. All programs allow this. But for your friend I'd suggest getting ”Torrent, the most lightweight torrent program ever.. Instead of a memory hogger Azureus.
