I don't torrent but i do use newsgroups and i use the default 119 port with ssl, i can't say i've ever noticed traffic shaping regularly, but i have noticed my downloads being throttled on one or two occasions, but not disruptively so, and only when i've been downloading inside the 'peak' hours. 99.999999% of my usage is overnight 
When using torrents beware of the upload... it causes most speed problems. keep it well below your bandwidths upload, or at the lowest you can. the more upload you have the more of your own bandwidth you are killing. |
i agree newsgroups is the better option
