Hi smart people,

If I have several computers on my home network and I have not set any explicit QoS rules on my router, how is bandwidth allocated? For example, if computer 1 is downloading a torrent at max speed and a second computer starts a download, how is the bandwidth allocation between the two determined? Thanks!

    Torrents open multiple connections with independent congestion control. If the second computer downloads from a single server at the same time, then it’s gonna certainly lose against the torrent.
