Currently there are only a few Bit Torrent clients that uses Transport Encryption or Protocol Encryption. I know Azureus and uTorrent both do.

The encryption prevents your ISP from listening on your bit torrent ports and employing traffic shaping techniques to limit your torrent bandwidth.
Fine, so they can't tell for sure what you are doing. They may just traffic shape the encrypted data.
