    Default Torrent throttling question

    That looks like heavy torrent usage to me, not throttling. Coincides with British kids coming home, then Americans coming home.

    BT do throttle torrent during peak times. Nothing you can do about it. It's usually about 30KB/s.

    Ye that's exactly what I get. Friday night through to Saturdays they don't seem to though, considering that peak times must change on a friday night.
