Re: uTorrent

They appear to be throttling anything torrent related. I spent all evening pre-downloading the next WoW patch at 6kbps.. Predicted time: 2 weeks, and yes, background throttling was turned off, meaning it should have been full speed, and yes, there were plenty of peers.

Yet when I told the downloader to use a direct connection and not peer to peer, the download rate skyrocketted to over 100kbps, and sustained that for the 10 minutes the download took.

It really does seem to me, to be some kind of generic thottle on torrents in some areas.
