More and more ISPs are limiting (throttling) BitTorrent traffic on their networks. By throttling BitTorrent traffic, the speed of BitTorrent downloads decreases, and high speed downloads are out of the question.

The list of ISPs that limit BitTorrent traffic - or plan to do so - is growing every day, and according to the BBC, the ‘bandwidth war’ has begun.

Are you not sure if your traffic is being throttled? Check the list of bad ISPs.

But there is a solution. Encrypting your torrents will prevent throttling ISPs from shaping your traffic. I will explain how to enable encryption in Azureus, µtorrent, and Bitcomet, the three most popular torrent clients.
