article published on 1 November, 2009
Earlier this month, BitTorrent, the company behind the popular torrent clients μTorrent and BitTorrent posted that they were getting ready to "change the game" with the introduction of a new protocol dubbed μTP (micro-Transport Protocol).
The protocol will be available with the launch of uTorrent 2.0 and BitTorrent 7.0.

Not everyone is capable of this.
I like this addition. Useful and doesn't kill your connection:)

Yes, that is true on my part as well... But I think most people don't. I've seen plenty of people who crank their bandwith usage with bittorrent clients to max to get higher download speeds. Instead of limiting it to 80% or so of their maximum speed. And if this will prevent ISPs from blocking bittorrent traffic, then it's a pretty good trade.

So what.................?????..............you manage your QOS at your place via a complex router system? You got a Cisco network with UC and/or VoIP for a home?? Whatever!

Damn i think this is pretty neat =D
Oh since about 2-3 months i've been noticing how Effing annoying its been to download things of torrents, my download speeds fell from 1MB per sec to like 15 kb/s ...My ISP is probably blocking the traffic i'm thinking, so dear god i hope this will fix things up again and turn return torrenting to the bliss it is !

i wouldn't touch a Cisco router with 10 foot pole. a baseball bat maybe besides you don't need a complex router to manage a Quality of Service or bandwidth limiting techniques.
i guess what pisses me off about it is that now that its Automated For the masses. i can no longer crank it up to full throttle during off peak hours. i am now at the mercy of the program itself, and i don't like that.

As if there wont be hacks released that will re-enable this ability?

I'm pretty sure there would be an option to disable the feature. Or at least to disable it's response.
As many have said, those who can, will use the QOS feature on their router/modem to maintain more important protocols (emails/webpages).
Honestly, i don't bother using the QoS on mine. When i'm trying to watch a video online and i notice it lagging, i pause the torrent; watch the video; then let it go again.
To have my torrent client do that automatically would be quite handy.
I am concerned about the extra overhead such traffic analysing algorithms will place on the computer though. One of the great things about utorrent was it's tiny footprint; i wonder if the CPU usage will remain as small in the new version...

While this feature will use system resources, I think it will save more than it costs. Current bittorrent clients can overload a connection without downloading anywhere close to the max speed. This is because if there are many torrents open with no seeds, it is constantly using bandwidth and CPU cycles to try to find seeds and open connections.
Personaly, I think it is great...I don't know about you, but my internet connection changes wildly based on the time of day...less than 19mbps durring peak hours, and over 30mbps at night & early morning (upsream changes even more). I tend to que up lots of torrents, and let them go for several days or even weeks. Setting a bandwidth limit does not work very well for me. Also, I often connect remotely to a system downloading torrents, and it would be nice if remote desktop could operate at full speed while connected, without having to greatly reduce my upload limits.
