utorrent in Virtualbox

[Sawyer22]

Im having problems running utorrent and big downloads in a vbox. Smaller torrents usually work, but much larger ones 40GB and so overload the shared folders. Is there any tweak I could apply to utorrent so reading, what I think overloads them gets more in the line?

host is windows 7 with guest windows xp with 2giga of memory added to it. Im sharing the host drive e: with the guest.

Why are running uTorrent in the VM?

I can call multiple pppoe interfaces on my connection to double or tripple the speed. But as you may know, this works only on separated OS instances optimally as thats the way they are build.

I do also use cfos broadband connect to call multiple pppoe instances on one windows based computer and part the routing table accordingly even to get most of it out. Anyway for the first example. I wanted to lend a seedbox to my friend for a month and tried to go virtually as my computer is a quad 3Ghz with 8GB of memory.

Maybe I should try to extend the virtual xps drive so no stress will go on the network card as this will only be a seed box and the stuff wont actually be accessed later apart from a ftp maybe.

EDIT:

It works fine when I dont use shared folders. So I assume this is just the limitation of shared folders and there is nothing that can be done.

EDIT:

Just if you are wondering. I'm not actually trying to cheat any trackers with a 2 instance utorrent ratio boost or something similar. I'm only trying to find the optimal solution to bond the speed with the resources I got and to use as little as possible hardware stuff and money spent on it. http://www.shrani.si/f/2r/z/4FfUM3q2/capture.jpg

This is actually a 4x time VirtualBox setup with 3x PFsense and one Windows XP machie. At that speed its actually consuming a quad 3Ghz pretty good and utorrent is actually running superb when the stuff is downloaded to virtual box virtual drives and not the shared host drive. I woul need to try a raw drive setup, but at this point I cant figure it out how to make it work. Not in VB and nor in Vmware.

I have done a similar thing except I use a samba server on the host machine, rather than vbox's built in shared folders, and have not had any issues.
