From a network administration perspective, bittorrent is evil incarnate. A
bittorrent client generates multiple connections which take a lot of bandwidth.T
hat is a higher strain for networking equipment than just downloading a file
from a website. I have seen bittorent clients bring down LAN segments because
they overloaded the QoS queues of their upstream router.

ISP hate torrent because ISP oversell more bandwidth than they have and a smalla
mmount of torrenters places a lot of stress on them.

And they don t care if you are sued or whatever because most likely you are
going to have to hire an ISP anyway.
