Making BitTorrent Clients Prioritize By Geography?

Daengbo writes "While I live in S.Korea and have virtually unlimited bandwidth in and out of the country, not all my Asian friends are so lucky. Many of the SE Asian and African countries have small international pipes. Even when a user has a high-speed local connection, downloads from abroad will trickle in. Bittorrent clients apparently don't prioritize other users on the same ISP or at least in the same country. Why is that? Is it difficult to manage? If I were to write a plug-in for, say, Deluge, what hurdles would I be likely to come across? If this functionality is available in other clients or through plug-ins, please chime in."

They're called male and females colloquially.
They're called such because they mate (physically couple, much as most male and female organisms do during sexual intercourse).
And you don't have a male RJ-45 connector.
RJ-45 is registered jack 45.
Only the female end is RJ-45.
Keep trying though.
