Bittorrent To Cause Internet Meltdown
Gimble writes "Richard Bennett has an article at the Register claiming that a recent uTorrent decision to use UDP for file transfers to avoid ISP 'traffic management' restrictions will cause a meltdown of the internet reducing everybody's bandwidth to a quarter of their current value.

BitTorrent is believed to be harboring weapons of mass destruction. These weapons are believed to be capable of destroying all of the internet tubes. The government has no choice but to authorize the ISPs to use lethal force to prevent these terrorists from succeeding.
