As I mentioned in a previous post ISP’s are throttling and sometimes completely blocking Torrent services.  I stumbled across a handy tool which helps detect if your ISP is indeed throttling or blocking your torrent uploads/downloads.  They report that a majority of US users being blocked / throttled are in the Cox or Comcast networks.  To run the test go to http://broadband.mpi-sws.org/transparency/bttest.php
