ISP's for unrestrcied torrent downloads?
I've just discovered that my ISP - Freedom to Surf - restricts Torrent and P2P downloads at certain times of the day.
Can anybody recommend an ISP that doesn't?

Blueyonder (telewest or ntl) does, but is a cable service and not BT based, I think most of the premium cost (the expensive ones!) BT based services
allow it though.
Try

I'm on F2S and use utorrent and I haven't noticed any slowdown. If I'm downloading anything big I set the time to download during
the night anyway as we run 2 computers on the connection and it does slow your browsing down.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

To be honest Ive never noticed it with NTL. What times are the restrictions on? And how much does it slow it down by?

Not sure - I'm waiting for a response from my ISP as to exactly what they do.

I am with Onetel, they don't have any restrictions.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

I have no restrictions and im with Vispa International Ltd they are a BT provider.
They have good customer service but i think i may be paying a bit much for a 500mb connection £19.99 !

Try this in utorrent, worked for me when my isp started throttle my bandwidth at peak times. 
preferences - connection - proxy type and select socks5
get a socks 5 ip address and port from http://www.atomintersoft.com/products/alive-proxy/socks5-list
reboot utorrent and see if it work, if not try another socks ip
