Many ISPs are starting to throttle the bandwdith used by common P2P
programs, they do this by limiting the bandwidth on certain port numbers
(ie. the default port numbers used by P2P programs).
The solution is to change the default ports. Pick a random number between
49152 - 65535 for the port number (this range is reserved for dynamic and
private ports).
