Downloading Fedora-17 via bittorrent is going very slowly, averaging about 150 Kbytes/sec on a connection that usually achieves about 300 Kbytes/sec.  More interesting is that the connection is useless for every other purpose: very slow access to the Web; connections time out; etc.  When bittorrent is paused, these problems go away.  My provider is ATT, which advertizes connection speeds of about 300 Kbytes/sec down and 75 Kbytes/sec up.

Is ATT or anyone else watching for bittorrent traffic on my connection and cutting back other service because of it.
