For people getting very slow speeds while downloading torrents world wide


As you might have already been aware there are companies who are exploiting utorrent/bittorrent mainline and slowing down your downloads. This method is called "peer flooding". Its affecting all versions of utorrent and bittorrent mainline clients. If you are using these clients - for now we recommend you to switch to another client until its resolved by the developers of utorrent.

AT&T and Comcast were notorious for slowing download speeds for torrents and just about anything if services such as uTorrent didn't pay for their fastlanes. They're still looking for loopholes in the FCC's net neutrality rules in order to resume such illegal practices. Just thought I would give you a heads up.
