Lately my torrent speeds have been crawling along. They used to fly down the pipes.I am with LG Telecom, and I wonder if they have started throttling torrents?

Mine are usually really quick. Maybe you've hit a limit and they've throttled your speed.

Have you updated your client?

I had updated uTorrent to the most recent version and my download speeds went down to barely anything. I uninstalled it and installed an older version and my speeds went back to normal.

you also have the option to force encryption in your torrent client

my experience says bittorrent shaping does happen, and time of day is important (ie 3am = no throttling)
