No the reason for throttling was probably the daily BLOCK this address or get sued emails that the RIAA and MPAA send out. Since Bittorrent had legitimate uses with ISOs and other large files.. a lot of ISPs and colleges allowed it through. Now it is mostly sharing of copyrighted material which I am guessing that the RIAA and MPAA have large clusters now looking for.

Bit Torrent throttling Posted Sep 14, 2006 17:37 UTC (Thu) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link] Throttling means slowing down, not blocking. I doubt slowing down the copyright violations is any businessman's response to a threat of lawsuit for copyright violation. But I know some providers (schools, companies) have in fact blocked BT, and sometimes it's because of fear of being liable for the copyright violations and other times it's because they believe the kinds of data transfers that are typically done by BT do not fit the goals of their particular network.
