RE: OT: Cox slowing torrents?

well qwest is doing it all the time, I schedule my torrents for overnight,
and they were always finished by morning, now they run all day the next day.

I can understand, when there is lots of traffic, and I support the changes
to bittorrent to use only the closest peers, but it shouldn't be a blanket
policy to slow everything down.

Note, I think cox has rolled a policy to slow down certain traffic during
peak load/times to prevent a detrimental effect on the network.
then at off peak times will go back up (or supposed to)

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
