My isp

My isp does something very weird with bt traffic. They seem to block some connections, but not all. Using encryption has no affect. I can download from every seed, and maybe about 1/2 the peers, and then when I am done downloading, and only seeding, I can connect to about 1 in 4 peers.

This practice of deciding what protocols I can use, should be illegal. This is no different than the water company calling me up and saying, sorry, but people with pools use to much water, so when you fill up your pool, the water won't be at full pressure, or how about when it's hot, and summer, your electric company calls you up and says, hey man, I heard you got a new A/C, I'm sorry but we don't approve of that brand, because it uses to much electricity, so we are going to brown you out whenever we feel like it.

You can say whatever you want, to defend these idiot companies, and say, as long as it is in their TOS, then its fine and dandy. This is total BS.

Ahh.. but there are rules about how much water you can use a day, (»www.ncwater.org/Rules_Policies_a···ations/). Any bets on if you decided to fill your pool every day because you wanted to sample some new water and fill up a few water trucks for your friends, since it is YOUR water, would you would get a visit?
