-Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) block or throttle BitTorrent connections because of the high bandwidth occupation it generates due to the sheer number of people using BitTorrent and to the high amounts of data transfered**Protocol Encryption** combats this attack vector by hiding the fact that connections are BitTorrent connections. Some ISPs cannot distinguish an encrypted connection from any other random data connection, so they are unable to label it as a BitTorrent connection, and consequently, cannot block or throttle it for being a BitTorrent connection.  +

 Windows versions beginning with XP SP2 have a Half-Open TCP Connections limit that allows 10 connection attempts to be opened at the same time.
