kiwiants: i dont know but it may open up some bandwidth headroom


Hmm. Downloading torrents will use bandwidth, thus reducing the remaining available bandwidth. If anything, I would expect it to decrease performance of other connections. The only way I can see this working is if Woosh are otherwise treating Youtube only as web traffic, and not allocating the connection to a high enough throughput carrier. That would be a bit of a failing in their service, imo, if it can't do basic streaming.

Probably a troll, but I'll bite. Is it possible what hes refering to is the fact, that without downloading something possibly streaming doesn't work properly, as the connection is active only when it's being 'used', and streaming is enough to keep it up?
