XDCC and torrent
Is it just me, or has McMaster limited the XDCC ports to around 8kbps and the torrent port to around 25mbps. Because normally, i would be getting at least 250mbps on everything else, and these ports are always as slow as a snail :/

Do you know anything about the limits placed on XDCC? it's a file sharing which uses IRC as the host.

I'm not sure, although I would assume they would though since they apply QoS/packet shaping on 'recreational' packets.
