Gimble writes "Richard Bennett (blog here), has an article at the Register claiming that a recent uTorrent decision to use UDP for file transfers to avoid ISP "traffic management" restrictions will cause a meltdown of the internet reducing everybody's bandwidth to a quarter of their current value.

Other folks have also expressed concern that this may not be the best thing for the internet."
