Some ISPs limit bittorrent traffic so you can have limited speeds. To avoid that you should encript your rtorrent transfer pipes. Tutorial at http://avi.alkalay.net/2007/11/encrypt-bittorrent.html By the way, EVERYBODY should encript bittorrent transfers, not only those with damaged ISPs. Thats because you (a good ISP user) may want to connect with somebody that has a bad ISP, so if you request an encripted channel your peer will reply with an encripted transfer and his ISP won't be able to detect and limit the rate.
