tspencer1 @insightBB.com	Re: What exactly are they blocking? I believe it is an upload block but this also is preventing host connections for some programs as a result.

Re: What exactly are they blocking?

I'm under the impression that some P2P apps automatically offer what you are downloading as an upload while you are downloading it. This would probably also be a TOS violation for some ISPs.

Not to mention being a good way to get noticed by the RIAA/MPAA/SPA/IDSA/etc.
