| Just encrypt it Sheesh, I don't think there are any torrent clients that don't offer encryption these days. Sure, they can tell you are using a torrent, but with encryption, they won't know what.

Elbonia | The UK military intelligence services took the unusual step of making a public policy statement - they recommended against the "ISPs as copyright police" push because it would enourage greater use of encryption. This would impair or defeat the ability of the MI to spy on all kinds of internet communications. |

kudos:2 | The use Transmission. It's free and open-source. It's *nix based (no Windows) but you can pick it apart and see for yourself whether the encryption has a backdoor. |

An even better choice is rtorrent. It's free and open source, as well and can run on most any modern flavor of *nix, not just Linux. The interface takes a bit of getting used to for some, but I think it's close to the most efficient I have seen. Real gem of the client is its performance with high speed(100 mbit+) pipes, but it's great all around. |

| Tried using rtorrent, but was a bit hard to set up, whereas Transmission comes installed on anything with GNOME so more people are likely to have it. Also, most folks won't be hitting private trackers on their home computers with 100+ Mbps connections, at least yet. Though I agree, rTorrent is crazy fast when you've got a big enough pipe. As for me, Transmission has no problem maxing out my 22/5 on Comcast  |

Detica media accounts director Dan Klein told ZDNet UK on Thursday that encryption of data would cause major problems for CView. "Encryption of the data packet would defeat us," he said. "We're not going to put the processing power into defeating it."
There's your answer although I should add that it is still possible to DPI encrypted torrents (there is a vunerability during the handshake). |
