Just to bring you some p2p aspects, bandwidth throttling on common p2p applications such as bittorrent, emule, kaZaa, and others occur very frequently depending on the ISP you have subscribed with. This story brings up the point of the possibility of detecting such bandwidth throttling, which limits the upload speeds of your download transactions and ultimately make it more difficult to download an entire file. Comcast is especially famous for its bandwidth throttling. By using this program you can check to see if your ISP also throttles bandwidth or not.
