P2P hogging bandwidth?

For some reason, my P2P client seems to be hogging up all my bandwidth, which is insane (considering i have a 25/5 fiber line) ive got it set to a reasonable upload and download rate maximum, but even still, when its running everything else on my computer (games, Folding, Firefox) cant even access the internet. i have 2 ethernet ports, is it possible to set it up so that only p2p goes through 1 port (or one local ip) and have everything else go through something else?

All those linux ISO's must be pretty laborious on your connection.
Does changing the maximum number of connections allowed effect anything?
What are you current caps on the Up/Down?

use a router that can prioritize by physical port or ip. That is your quicker easier solution. Unless it is running on the same box and then you are looking at a router that can prioritize by the ip port used. I think smoothwall could do it. It can do anything from what I have been told.

im busy trying out crysis warhead
How is that by the way? I seen it at Target and almost picked up a copy. I bought Crysis and even upgraded my PC to play it at it's higest (or near highest ) settings. Although the game was beautiful, and interesting, I thought it was way too short.

this ones a bit harder on the gfx

lots more particles and complex lighting. overall though, i like it, its like the first crysis but instead of focusing on stealth it focuses more on mass destruction
