    Two people have mentioned slow torrents to me in the last few days. Hasn't been a problem for me so far...

    they are using port shaping now like other isps, change ports whatever you like it still wont work.

    Mine on UTV are fine running at 0Kbs as I type.... I'm adhering to the whole no P2P traffic between 6-11pm. I don’t mind as I do most of my browsing/games at this time and its best not to be running P2P for ping reasons. Outside those times I get like 100-300K.
