TLMP - Who Are We?
The Linux Mirror Project, TLMP for short, is a site run by two normal people who want to support the distribution of linux to the many thousands of people who download it every day. Our plan is to mirror all the major linux distributions, such as Fedora, Slackware, Debian, Mandrake, Knoppix, and many more, using the BitTorrent protocol to distribute bandwidth effectively among users.
In short terms, we mirror linux distributions, to take the strain off other overloaded mirrors, and to provide mirrors for users, if they have problems downloading from other mirrors, or wish to use BitTorrent because they are on slower connections, such as 56k, and want to be able to resume their download easily.

Get your Slackware 10.1 ISOs through BitTorrent here.
Please keep your finished torrent session running as long as possible! We need your help! BitTorrent depends on sharing bandwidth and does not work if there are no seeds (downloaders keeping their client open when download is complete).

What I don't accept is that you choose to do this from a residential connection that is controlled by an AUP, that you choose to ignore and then complain about when ntl decide to put in place projects to enforce the AUP.
If you choose to do this, legal as it might be, the residential ntl connection is not the transport it should be done over, find a supplier that would accept this type of usage.
I guarantee that should you approach an ISP explaining what it is you want to do, you would be directed towards a business connection, as this is not NORMAL residential behaviour.

That is a different argument. I have no knowledge of the AUP or that leaving a p2p client uploading 24/7 breaks ntl's rules.. could you possibly point me in the direction of the relevant paragraph that covers it? I know some ISPs don't allow p2p usage but I wasn't aware that ntl was one of them.
