I've got no problem with anyone who wants to spend their life downloading, except when it sucks away my bandwidth. Why should we pay the exact same amount and I basically get punished because I don't hog the channel?? If they want to use my bandwidth, then they should either pay part of my bill or give me some cash.
Every single cable broadband provider prohibits running servers and the usage of an unmodified bittorrent client breaks that prohibition. So the companies are entirely within their rights to block bittorent.
I think i read somewhere that there are some providers that dont care if you run servers. And for the TOS regarding servers, those are hardly ever enforced. I mean, how can they tell?
