Throttlng

Is there any way to overcome torrent throttling? My ISP recently began blocking torrent traffic during the day, and last night it put up a permanent block. Encryption doesn't help, arguing with the tech support guy doesn't help either.

Encryption doesn't help
Yes it does.

Other than that: >>2

Yes it does.
Not if all encrypted traffic is automatically blocked as well.

But yes, >>2
The free market doesn't work if people are going to be idiots and keep paying for inferior products and services. (See also: Microsoft software, Apple hardware.)

all encrypted traffic is automatically blocked
I've never heard of an ISP doing that. No online banking/shopping, no VPN, no SSL of any kind... holy shit. How can any ISP make money like that?

OP probably means throttled. Rogers does that here in Canada. IDK if any others do though. Its coming to you americans next i think.

Yeah, most Canadian ISPs do that - I'm on Cogeco Cable and they throttle TERRIBLY, and it really does suck.
