1 - light torrent users get penalised which when they are light users isnt really a fair way to deal with it.
2 - there is false positives which seems to mainly affect gamers.
3 - it can be easily evaded which defeats the purpose of it in the first place.

The new system which is due early next year which will not target torrents but will get a lot of torrent users anyway as it will target heavier users. It will not be evadable other than to stop downloading/uploading.

How effective will be remains to be seen, I expect in some areas it will need to be draconian to be effective.
what method are you talkign about coming out next year as all known methods for targetting heavy users to my knowledge can be evaded so just wondering which method you mean so i know if it is one (no i aint aheavy user but i do download more than the limits on stm currently so it could affect me so ill need to know if i should change the way i download like i did for stm)
