And how would a torrenter evade the traffic shaping? Most VPN providers either exclude torrenting (due to bandwidth needed) or charge extra to price it out.

For a serious torrenter a seedbox is the better option which won't impact on he network until the HTTP/FTP download from it which isn't covered with the shaping.(is this what you meant?)
