It can still affect my upstream because it is still using my upstream. It just just getting dropped after it hits my router. This is the case with a lot of DOS "attacks". If you can't overload the server, then overload the pipe. Same idea. Now, if my ISP was dropping them for me... it wouldn't affect my upstream, because they won't make it to my "pipe". If the line gets saturated (with any traffic) this will happen.

Once I kill the process though, I have never noticed any more traffic, and every thing speeds back up again. Could be though that my pipe is big enough that I don't notice the attempts to connect, and they don't show on my logs.
You, my friend, are using the wrong bt client. Get nova torrent.

You can change your upload. I normally set mine to 5kbps, (33 % of my upload max)
You should see your download speeds increase, because you are not maxing out your link.
The bittorrent client has no problem maxing out your upload while leaving your download choaked.
