Some encyrption would be nice. I'm really tired of the throttling of content even if it's legal.
I recently discovered when downloading some legal torrents (New NIN album - distributed free online by NIN)that it appears Time Warner Cable is throttling Torrent traffic. Any time I attempted to DL the album my HTTP: traffic slowed to an absolute craw (5KPS or slower).
Rebooted the cable modem, back up to "Turbo" speed while surfing. Start up torrent client. Instant crawl. Rebooted cable modem. Speed back to normal, until torrent traffic was recognized.
What a PITA!
