An article in today's Times says that allowing others to download from your connection via P2P will affect download limits. I'm thinking of iPlayer, which I use a lot. Surely, it's the other computer that's downloading from you, so it shouldn't count....or am I missing something? Anyway, it appears that many users are easily exceeding their limits by streaming or downloading long programmes. And yes, I have disabled P2P until the situation's a bit clearer.
