An estimated 60% of net traffic is being attributed to bittorrent transfers. Would that not make bittorrent users "normal"? These ISPs better wake up and figure out where their revenues are comming from. Sounds like uTorrent is on the right track.

I love the classification they use - "Normal". Prey may i ask how they determine that the majority of users just browse websites? Sounds more like they packet shape higher bandwidth traffic so they don't have to spend as much money on their networks. This is what alot of ISP's are doing now. They want users to pay $30 or more a month just to website browse and use email, that way they wont have to invest in the network infrastructure. It's a purely invented association by money grabbing ISP's “was aimed at giving normal users priority speeds over those who would otherwise bog down the network.”
