I don't know if it's just Azureus, or any Bittorrent client, but every time I open Azureus, it causes everyone on my local LAN to have sporadic random IM dropouts, on both AIM and MSN, on both the official clients and Gaim. I thought it was because it was saturating my connection in one direction or the other, but I've limited both upload and download speed (including, as an experiment, to some very small numbers) and it seems to be no different. When I exit Azureus, the problems go away.

Anybody have any experience/suggestions? I guess one answer is to limit my quite serious Linux distro collection, but I'd like some other answer. Maybe there's a "screw everything up" option in Azureus that I've accidentally toggled...?
