uTorrent kills browsing

I would not be surprised if this has been asked before, but for reasons unbeknownst to me, downloading through uTorrent makes browsing, at least in Firefox, painfully slow, with webpages taking much longer than usual to load.

It's only started since 1.77 came out (I think). Sometimes it won't have an effect at all, but it is now.

Any ideas?

It's an extremely common problem, thanks to Windows XP SP2's and Vista's max of only 10 half open connections at once.

...And bad networking hardware (older D-Link and most Belkin routers) and software (Zone Alarm firewall!) that lots of people use. :(

Try the 2nd link in my signature if you want to try slightly more conservative settings for uTorrent than Speed Guide (CTRL+G) gives. I added a couple upload speed values that Speed Guide doesn't have. :)
