Eclipse blocking BitTorrent?

My connection is a Flex 1000.

Has your BitTorrent stopped working today? Try this....

Get firefox. Use the User Agent Switcher extension:
http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/

Set it up in Tools->User Agent Switcher->Options->Options, add a
user-agent, anything in the first line, "uTorrent/1610" (without quotes)
in the second line. Alternatively, try "Asureus" - that doesn't work for
me either.

Try to browse any web page.

Does it work for you? It doesn't for me. Change it back to any other
useragent, and everything works again.

Eclipse doesn't even be polite in sending back an RST, they just seem to
silently drop the packets.

Eclipse started throttling downloads severely last year, despite promising
they wouldn't. When I queried it they simply sent me my MAC code. I took
the hint and left, like many others. I moved to a more expensive but
unthrottled ISP, and the difference was simply astounding, so much so that
my bandwidth consumption doubled and I ran out of download quota.... "say
luvvie" as the french say.
