AT&T & other ISP's are considering filtering torrents and other P2P traffic such as eMule & aMule. Supposedly this is just for copyrighted work. As we know, a great deal of legal material can get caught in this panic drift net of paranoia. (I download Linux Distros by the pile.) Some just block Torrents all together.

Does encryption prevent this? What is K'Torrent doing to address this issue to keep Torrents alive? Are you working to strengthen encryption?

Normally encryption should prevent this, though there are still ways you could block stuff, if you start looking at tracker announces, but that would require some serious effort on their part. (They would have to start looking at all http traffic) And if they do that we could just switch to https for tracker connections.

Strengthening encryption is not necessary at the moment, sure you could break it, but the time and effort required to do this for each TCP connection is probably not worth the effort. And if they do we can switch to AES or some other strong algorithm.

I use a Tor IP to send my IP announce.
