First thing you should know is that if your upload speed is high, it drastically increases your download speed as well.

When you are downloading/uploading the file, you are referred to as the 'leecher'. Once your download is complete, you will see that your Bittorent client will keep on uploading the file, since downloading takes much less time than uploading. Once you have completely uploaded the file, you are known as a 'seeder'. The more the seeders on a torrent, the faster the downloads. That's why its called P2P (peer-to-peer), so you download and share at the same time!

It is actually the same file(s) that is(are) being uploaded, those files which you are uploading , are also being downloaded by others at the same time. futher, uploading after u're done with the download is called seeding. The more u seed the better it is.

Why do torrents slow your internet connection?

Depending on your ISP and service plan, you receive a certain amount of bandwidth. This is the speed at which you can download or upload files to/from the internet. You cannot download or upload faster than this speed. Downloading data using torrents implicitly uses bandwidth, meaning downloads through other programs, or by other people on the network, will be slower.


While uploading and downlaoding Torrents I will occasionally get a web page display error saying that the site might be down only restarting helps could the torrents have anything to do with this?

If it is from your torrent downloading, then it would most likely be due to your use of upload bandwidth in your bittorrent client. Capping upload in your bittorrent client to 80% of your overall upload capacity should resolve that issue. See the link below for more information and links to help.
