its also Not illegal to Use P2P apps (regarded the content you DL isnt Copywrited) so theres no Way they Should be Banning the use of P2P unless they can prove exactly what your downloading (then that becomes a Privacy violation).

Like you say, bit torrent automatically re-downloads 'missing' packets, so you wouldn't know by using bit torrent alone that you were suffering packet loss. Can you try running a ping test (eg ping -t
www.bbc.co.uk - press control-c to stop) once bit torrent has been running a while, and post your results here ?
I take it you're on the 1meg / samsung STB aslo ?
