I just noticed I'm pulling multiple 1mb/s streams on Shareaza, but my download is (according to my ISP) limited to 500k. Am I missing something, or are the numbers I'm seeing just inflated? Like, is this the theoretical transfer capability of the upload side?
 
Maybe Shareaza is using bits/sec and the other is using bytes/sec. Try dividing Shareaza's number by 8 and see if you come close to your ISP rate that will tell you.
