This 'may' be caused by the NTL transparant web proxies? IIRC When you download a torrent then part of the process uses HTTP?

I know I had terrible trouble downloading the latest Mandrake Linux ISO's using BitTorrent as the server/tracker was seeing NTL's proxy IP and not my CM IP. Thankfully in my case Mandrake offer HTTP connectivity on port 8080 as well as 80 so it was possible to bypass NTL's proxy.
