Torrents and ping issue

[DjSt3rios]

Hello, I recently purchased a new router, the ASUS RT-AC87U, and I have the D-Link DSL-320B ADSL2+ Modem in bridge mode. I set up everything but I noticed most of the times, almost always, when I am downloading a torrent my ping goes very high. I was in league of legends, I had 82ms ping, then I started a torrent to test, it would show 999ms ping (probably more), all websites would load very slow, but that's not the only weird thing, my download speed on the torrent is about 70kb/s, when my full download speed is 800-950KB/s, so why would I have so high ping when I am not even using my full download speed? Upload speed was only 2kb/s, so something is obviously wrong. I didn't have this problem with my previous router (which had it's own modem). Any idea what might be causing that? I tried port forwarding the port the torrent client is using but still same problem.

just because data rates aren't stressing your bandwidth doesn't mean that there still won't be queuing/buffering on the router's interfaces...although the latency you refer to looks huge.

it might be down to high CPU/high session number on the routers.

if you are going to play a competitive game, turn off all torrents

Thanks for your answer, but still this is very weird. My old modem-router was given to me from my ISP so I don't think it's something expensive, while the router I bought costs like $350, this router is supposed to one of the best routers. There must be a way to fix this, unless the problem is the modem, but I didn't find many modems in stores. Also my problem is not playing games while downloading torrents, my problem is when I download a torrent I can't keep full speed for very long. I was downloading with 750KB/s today, and suddenly my internet became very slow and my torrent speed went down to 70KB/s. I can't even browse websites when downloading torrents because of this.
