Which BitTornado, the client I use, does not support, AFAIK. Not sure
about Transmission.

I can get over the problem by setting up a VPN between home and work and

Hmm, this says that Pipex throttles encrypted traffic too! I know they
do not for VPN traffic!

I'll just download stuff at work where we have loads of bandwidth.
