too much protocol traffic?

[esplinter]

Hi,

I have 5 active torrent downloading and 5 extra torrents seeding with just a few stablished connections (around 30) and I see that 80% of my upload traffic is for bittorrent protocol. is this normal?

I attach some screenshots to show my traffic...
many thanks for any help

Considering your downloading at 1.7MiB, 60kiB protocol is normal.
- you can also have 60KiB protocol traffic if your seeding (without transfer) several hundred to thousand torrents.
